Zimmi’s
I’m coming to you hat in hand to say, I only have one Rachel’s Rec this week. Because I’m tired and cold! I haven’t been out as much as I want/usually am since returning from my trip, and I feel guilty. But I did manage to stop by last week’s poll winner chosen by you, Zimmi’s. I’m happy to report, it was excellent!
I popped into Zimmi’s on Friday night before heading to a play (ok, I was still doing some stuff) and was lucky enough to get two seats at the bar. Admittedly, we just had drinks and snacks, but both were excellent. And an extra special shoutout to the convivial bartender who was both chatty and a superb drink maker. As my husband and I enjoyed the extra garlicky winter ratatouille and cocktails, I noted that Zimmi’s reminded me in a way of Prune, my all-time favorite New York restaurant that I miss to this day. The small dining room at Zimmi’s had the same casual air. The plates leaned Mediterranean-ish but not to the book, just like Gabrielle Hamilton’s. And most importantly, everything was delectable. I can’t wait to return with a group of friends to order more and multiple bottles of wine. Zimmi’s feels like the perfect place for a night like that in New York City.
Don’t forget you can have a custom New York City itinerary just like this, made specifically for you with our Curated Days!
