Writing a column — which might be read by anybody, anywhere — is one thing. But giving personal restaurant recommendations, to a single human being? Are you mad? It’s an exercise in anxiety.
Where do I suggest? The parameters are too broad and too many. What’s the occasion? How much do you have to spend? Who are you going with? What do you like — what do they like? Is food the thing or will it all be fine if the waiter flirts well and wine is poured with a heavy hand? What time do you have to be home by? Does your partner know you’re going?
