Joan's on Third

Expensive, way too. But that's probably part of the draw. Constant celebrities streaming towards cheese platters, deli salads, cupcakes, pastries. Paparazzi stationed outside. Break through, get to the burrata, the gelato, the sandwiches. Order it fresh: premade stuff an even bigger disappointment. But it's all beautiful. So are the people - Sienna, some Olsens, etc. But hobnob with the cheese guy; get more out of the conversation. His selection is grand.
