Commerce

Commerce is a lovely place to share a drink with some ladies you admire and love. I was travelling with such ladies in tow, so we swung into this darling location tucked into a corner of Greenwich Village, and it was great. Good conversation, friendly bartender, a decent smattering of attractive people for our visual pleasure.

And then we decided to extend the experience and have dinner. Mistake.

I ordered the tagliatelle with ramps because it had ramps. The tagliatelle was hard, and not al dente hard, but hard because it was too thick and not cooked properly, and the ramps weren't stinky enough.


The best thing about eating dinner at commerce was this whipped butter flecked with black salt that accompanied the warm and delicious bread rolls. I love butter so much, that it makes me hesitate slightly to completely write off the establishment for future dining experiences, but I've got standards baby, and butter and bread addiction or not, you should not, my friend come here to eat. You deserve better.

Just grab a drink here and go somewhere else to upgrade the rest of your evening experience.
