One Little West 12 Street's scene is pretty much de rigeur for the
Meatpacking District: A cool and beautiful space filled with people who
think they're cool and beautiful, too. There's a decided sexiness to
the house style: candles glow from niches in brick walls, soothing
sands and browns dominate the color scheme, high ceilings offset low
seating, and wrought-iron details run throughout. Cozy nooks invite the
diners to lounge, cruise their neighbors, and try to maintain
conversations over the changing soundtrack. Much more of a destination
than a restaurant en route, those who venture through One's red velvet
ropes will likely want to ensconce themselves for the evening: This is
a place that invites lingering while sipping drinks served by
waitresses in impossibly short dresses. Part tapas, part urbane comfort
food, and part Asian-influenced fare, it all looks great on the plate.
