Ivo & Lulu   

Heard a lot of buzz about this little treat off Varick and was not in the slightest bit dissappointed. Felt like I was dining in our hosts (artist extraordinaire, Oscar) apartment and the BYOW setup is just too tempting to miss. The food was awesome (and v.affordable), the tunes chilled and the general vibe in the place was magical and almost dreamlike (though that could have had something to do with the vino!). The mussels are a must for the lovers of the hot and spicy and the smoked garlic chicken will just melt in your mouth. The perfect place to bring a friend (or a date chaps) for a good ol' fashioned chin-wag! Rock on fellas.
