If you are not already tickled by the name, please read on and you’ll soon be convinced that a trip to Lovely Day is, well, quite lovely. Located on the fringes of SoHo’s frenzied streets in Nolita, the restaurant is a harbor in the storm of shoppers so ubiquitous to the area. Indeed, the mob scene was in full fury last Friday as I pushed my way through Topshop bags and past falafel carts to finally reach the more manageable Elizabeth Street, where I found Lovely Day.
From the outside, the restaurant is unimposing and easy to miss, with a small sign and little pomp to speak of—an unpretentious modesty that only adds to its charm.
It was around 6 p.m., and I was meeting a friend to celebrate the fact that she had recently (and successfully!) defended her senior thesis. I found my somewhat beleaguered pal standing outside, and looking in dire need of a drink. Luckily, they have an impressive cocktail menu with options ranging from Plum Fizzes to Old Fashioneds with which you can wet your whistle.
