One of my favorite places in the city is Benoit. The paneled dining room with the cozy red banquettes can inevitably transport you to Paris in a second. But it’s the striking black and white striped bar that hypnotizes me. It’s so incredibly perfect that looking at it could drive you insane and most likely you’ll need a bib. Below are images that I love and remind me of the always perfect, “no-way-Jose-can-go-wrong”, classy stripes.
