Editorial Review

The (other) drug models love. McNally's landmark bistro that sent his stock skyward. Simple, tiled interior is formula (see Balthazar) but gorgeous. Permanently crowded with lively, good-looking people who might not step foot in the hood otherwise. Great eggs for brunch, tomato tart for lunch, savory onion soup and pommes frites for dinner, and Gitanes Blondes anytime. While you're there, attempt to make McNally's offspring, Isabelle, your MySpace bff.
