Stuzzicheria, with J and M

Sometimes we have a lunch so charming, it's hard not to feel completely pleased afterward. We were meeting J and M from the Design Trust, a lunch we've both had in the books since summer. The weather was not rainy, for once, and actually ideal for outdoor dining at the Tribeca location of Stuzzicheria. My gnocchi was a smidgeon too soft but J's cauliflower orcchiette was delicious. The conversation flowed naturally from friendship necklaces to office uniforms to urban farms to sibling order and future potlucks.
