favorite LES eats: 'inoteca
we've been a huge fan of 'inoteca since it opened a couple blocks from us a year ago. lots of knowing bloggers have posted their cool findings, but we're surprised how many of our friends have yet to check it out!... great selection of wine and delicious food to feast on, a warm and friendly atmosphere with knowing staff that offer selection advise and descriptions, low lighting and lots of wood throughout.

everything is excellent. the meat and cheese platters are huge with a wide selection of stuff to try. great salads. their acclaimed truffled egg toast lives up to it's reputation, we usually get 2! and do not miss the affogato dessert - a tall glass of amazing vanilla gelato with a shot of espresso poured over.

but what we truly love about 'inoteca is the open-air setting and relaxed pace that allow us to sit in our hood for hours eating and drinking and talking to friends while we take in the street life.
