I visited a friend in Brooklyn last night and we popped into Cafe Moto for dinner. This place is a small Brooklyn hideaway. The creative direction and attention to detail of the nostalgic decor, circa 1938, is enough for anyone to cross the Williamsburg bridge. Not to mention the fantastic French fare on offer.

I was compelled to write about this place when Sasha Dobson set up shop and performed live for the dinner guests. Her soulful music coupled with the atmospheric lighting really created a certain romantic ambiance. Even after half a year in NYC, it’s still a nice surprise for me to chance encounter a place like this on a Monday night in the quiet outskirts of Williamsburg where I can eat great food listening to beautiful music in a charming environment.
