Solace: Should you ever find yourself lost and hungry in the East 60s (God forbid!) and are yearning to feel like you stepped into Aunt Eleanor's house, Solace is the perfect dining choice. That is, if you can survive a slow scene, with 60-somethings who name drop Michael Bloomberg and sound like they actually know what they're talking about when they order a "Bombay Sapphire gin with a twist." It can be a trip! The setting is quaint—the two dining areas tucked into this quiet townhouse feature soft lighting. You can always bring a date here if dining on the Lower East Side with those who have wandering eyes is no longer fun. The food runs high ($19-$29 an entrée), but it's delish. And hey, wine by the glass is priced right (around $8), as is the free bread basket. |
