Tucked away right next to its Michelin-starred counterpart l’Abeille, l’Abeille à Côté promises a more approachable yet equally stellar experience. I celebrated Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend there on my most recent visit to NYC. From the moment you step through its doors, it exudes warmth and sophistication. Entering through the small vestibule, the host greets you and takes your coat, allowing you to briefly spot the sign boasting of its sibling restaurant’s Michelin star on the wall.
