A little vino, a little lamb, a little veal, some shrimp. Badda boom, badda bing. Tom Jefferson Few things contribute to culinary enjoyment like sitting across from a book called Love the Body You Were Born With .
Few things contribute to interesting conversation like sitting among stacks of stories.
And if there's a better way to pass the time waiting for a table to open up than browsing through shelves and shelves of all sorts of books, I'm completely unaware of it. The Hartwood Restaurant, where diners can do all these things, is tucked neatly inside Bookworks, which is a bookstore worth going out of your way for. Sit at the elegant tables with pristine white tablecloths between shelves of books. Or sit in the Garden Room with the canaries, or in the warmth of the Red Room, in the back of the bookstore, or when it's warm, outside on the patio. Bring a bottle of wine.
