Nurse Bettie

Editorial Review

Fifties pin-up theme not nearly as scary as it sounds. Petite yupster haven of thirty-something landscape architects mingling with vintage shop owners—not very rock 'n' roll, but par for the modern LES course. Bartender Maria an effective mascot, looking all reformed punk but chockfull of down-home Land o' Lakes charm. Three-buck Brooklyn drafts during happy hour help us turn the page.
