Sometimes good restaurants come in small packages, even in the vast metropolis known as New York City.

AMONG THE 45,000 or so bars and restaurants peppered around New York City, it seems as if finding the perfect tiny spot for a date, closing a business deal or celebrating a special occasion is harder than it should be. You don’t want another run-of-the-mill trattoria, nor shoulder-to-shoulder dining at a soulless brunch joint. Most after-work bars involve jostling through noisy clusters of tired folks, and neighborhood restaurants are often sterile and over-lit. It takes hard work to design a true gem of a tiny establishment.
