This cozy restaurant with unusual decor is in the Soho shopping district. I had a delicious pasta and asparagus soup for $17, with a $5 glass of white wine, which was a lunch special.

I really enjoyed both my meal and the ambiance of the restaurant. The service was quite slow, but I suspect they were under staffed. I was there for a late lunch around 3 and it was bustling the whole time, which says it's a good spot!

I would eat here again and I recommend both the soup and the tomato pasta.
