Olin

Olin is the kind of downtown restaurant that works because the obvious orders are also the right ones. The cheeseburger is great, the Caesar salad is great, and together they make a dinner that feels considered without becoming complicated. Its location right by Queens and Evening Bar makes the whole night easy to build.

Start with a drink at Queens or Evening Bar, then walk to Olin and order the cheeseburger with a Caesar salad.

You want a polished downtown dinner, a genuinely good burger, and drinks before dinner without moving the car.

You want dinner to be experimental, sprawling, or far removed from the downtown scene.
