Rwby

The Midtown crowd who are actively trying to live that pedestrian life will love a spot like Rwby to grab a quick pre- or post-dinner drink. For those without a Midtown address, the headache of finding parking at this Juniper Street restaurant is rage-inducing—enough to spark a newfound love for screamo music. But once inside, a small bar framed in a large floral arrangement gives way to a handful of wooden booths in a cozy orange-tinted dining area. Perfectly balanced cocktails like the fruity Paradiso Paloma atone for the parking woes. Some food items like the cheesy, juicy burger are supremely satisfying. We'd come back for this. But the bland, poorly named 7-Spice Quarter Chicken is a dish we'd happily skip. There’s no way seven spices could have such little flavor, and the puddle of curry sauce beneath, though good, doesn't quite save it.
