Cafe Kestrel

“Tiny, sweet, and always unexpected.”

“Most underrated restaurant in NY; very nuanced but also feels elegantly feminine. I love the pink napkins. I order the cafe salad, chilled shrimp, French fries and a martini. Nice desserts too.”

“burger and mini martini combo… walk to the record shop down the street and buy an etel adnan book after…”

“I can never recommend it enough.”

“An enchanting little bistro in Red Hook, where Teo and I had one of my favorite meals of the last few years, which I wrote about here. I love that the menu includes chic dishes like seafood terrine and farinata with olives, but also French fries and the best mac and cheese of my life. Come for date night, split a bottle of wine, and eat well.”
