No but seriously, if you’re a fashion person in NYC, The Corner Store is basically your secret weapon. Between the celebs, the foodies, and the endless paparazzi camped outside, it’s the kind of spot where you’re either in or you’re not—and honestly, the energy is so good you’ll forget you’re even there. I went with my fashion director, Michaela Bushkin, on a Wednesday night, and let me tell you, the vibe is everything. You walk in, the bouncer gives you a side-eye (because yes, people try to sneak in), and suddenly you’re in a cozy booth with a view of the chaos outside. No stiff “look at me” energy here—just warm, lively, and refreshingly unpretentious.
The service? Unmatched. I was worried about the usual hyped-up restaurant drama, but the staff was genuinely attentive. Dev Johnson, the beverage manager, basically became our personal concierge, checking in to make sure we were ordering correctly, living our best lives, and not missing any standout dishes. He might’ve slipped in a few personal favorites we’d otherwise overlook. Thanks, Dev. Ordering is where things get real—martini options like Espresso! Dirty! Tomato! Sour cream?—and starters that could’ve been mains. The Caesar was a standout, the artichoke dip? It might’ve altered my brain chemistry. But the real MVP? The Wagyu French dip from the Butcher’s Counter menu. It came with a perfectly toasted bun, impossibly tender ribeye, and au jus so good it deserves its own trophy.
Dessert? Don’t even get me started. We had warm mini apple pies with ice cream, a Samoa sundae, and an affogato. Worth it. And yes, we dressed the part. This is a dress-it-up moment. No need for your most dramatic winter gown, but you’re not showing up in jeans. Think great trousers (with a bit of stretch, obviously), opaque maroon tights with a minidress, and of-the-moment accessories. Oh, and a faux-fur coat? Mandatory. What if you get caught by paparazzi while walking in? One can only hope.
Key points: The vibe is warm and unpretentious, the service is genuinely attentive, the Wagyu French dip is a must-order, and dress code is “fancy but not overdressed.”
