For the love of restaurants. That's been our mantra for the last year or so, as the restaurant industry forges through a generational crisis. So, we thought it a good time to share some of the many things we love about restaurants, from the simple act of solo dining, to the tiny moments that stay with us, to the unique role that restaurants play in showcasing different cultures. And so much more.
These are Resy Love Letters.
