LUNCH BUNCH
The wildly successful Smile NYC comes south in the form of OTL, short for “out to lunch.” The healthy hangout with good coffee officially bows January 10, but curious types can check it out now. The Smile, which began in 2009 as an all-day spot to dine in or out, work and mingle, operates four locations in Manhattan. OTL’s Cuban meets crisp décor blends earth tones, pale wood and marble. An upstairs area is used for programming like yoga classes and cool pop-ups. High-speed WiFi appeals to professionals looking for an office on the fly, and art lovers will find Nate Lowman’s works depicting magnetized bullet holes. Fare is simple—avocado toast, granola and seasonal fruit bowls for breakfast, and salads and sandwiches on Zak the Baker bread for lunch.
