It seems like Two is always a best bet, and it serves lunch at odd times, which we like. We had 2 really nice dishes that were 2 good 2 be 4 gotten.

The descriptions of the food, physical locations, and presidential travel are either factual or based on our own experiences. The rest is best described like this…
Once upon a time, there was a restaurant named Hawthorne Lane. It was a very fine restaurant, with white tablecloths and brightly polished silverware. The restaurant was quiet and [...]

My dearest friends Stacy (above) and Cat (below) toast to a lovely evening at TWO! A night of pure, lusty food was had at TWO, a relatively new SOMA restaurant. You've already gotten a preview of the bone marrow from this restaurant, which was so delightful it required its very own posting. My lovely friends Cat (book publishing editor) and Stacy (web channels manager) met me for an evening of total debauchery (food-wise), and I think we can all agree that it was absolutely worth every calorie and fat gram. I'll save the long descriptions for your imagination and leave you with an array of photos plus comments on the food from Nigella...

I once saw Tony Bourdain wax poetic (I think on his old Food Network show) about the kinds of places NYC chefs hang out after hours. Something about 4 a.m., Nobu bringing the sashimi and Batali hunkering down for a whiskey or two or three...I can only remember bits and pieces of it. But the one thing that did stand out was...wait for it...bone marrow. I recall Tony saying something about how, sometimes, they got plates of cooked bones filled with fatty marrow and used it on toast like butter. I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard/saw this; what an absolutely lascivious yet perfectly pure thing, this bone-marrow-on-toast phenomenon! ...

I've always thought reincarnation is an interesting concept. You live, you die, and you return smarter and thinner and full of snappy comebacks that are always ready right when you need them. (Or something like that; check with the Hindus for a more complete explanation.)
These days, restaurants are as eager for a second chance as anyone. In mid-January, David Gingrass and Bridget Batson, the

Well, roll me in feathers and call me Icarus. It seems the Gods have punished me for my hubris.
I really, really, really wanted to have a great meal last night. I wanted to be able to write a glowing review, and feel all smug and self-satisfied with my bad, left-coast self.
Instead, I got the old [...]

Some restaurants have pulled some serious Cher-facelift magic the past couple years, from the classic case study of Bizou into COCO500, Cozmo’s into CIRCA, and now Hawthorne Lane into ~TWO~. (Sidebar: what’s with the all caps on all three names? I see a trend.) The twist is that facelifts are supposed to make you tighter, but TWO’s was all about gettin’ looser. Hawthorne Lane was most definitely a special occasion restaurant, a no-brainer for when your parents were in town or it was someone’s 50th birthday. It was an important part of the city’s culinary landscape, but as owner David Gingrass put it, “I felt like I was running my dad’s...

I was picking him up at the airport, and we wanted to have a late-ish, low-key but delicious dinner. I'd heard a gentle bit of positive buzz about Two, and was able to get us a reservation for 9:15pm. Any menu that's friends with roasted marrow bones is a friend of mine.

Two Restaurant is the new incarnation of Hawthorne Lane. We arrived a little early for dinner and hopped up to the bar. The two$ bar bites are reason enough to stop by. As the name indicates, all of these tasty nibbles are well priced. They have meatballs with red gravy, liverwurst on brown bread as well as soft pretzels which were served warm
