The Little Owl

Joey Campanaro (of Tribeca dinosaurs The Harrison and Pace) sets up shop in the former Chez Michallet space and draws a major crowd. West Village looking quaint as all get-out through paned windows. Impeccable Mediterranean fare fueled by greenmarket's latest arrivals. Nothing elaborate, just delicious standards like whole fish at market price, or "the pork chop" (as if there's any other). Intimate, 28-seater ideal for stage whispering, "And then me and Antony..." Newly added lunch makes scoring those seats a little easier.
