To get a bar seat at Dirty French is a stroke of luck (or a credit to your patience). Food: fantastic, rich and wonderful. Fellow bar-diners: foodies and travellers. Environment: lots of red, boisterous/lively. Bar staff is pro. Always 2: a busy but hard listening expert, and it being “French”, an watchful bar-back in a lovely black dress. The food is superb and surprising. Meat, normally grilled is cooked by rotisserie – a preparation that is better experienced than described. More health-forward eaters will definitely find satisfying options as well. The comings and goings off Ludlow Street are brisk and interesting. Blind-daters one minute, Ken Burns the next.   If you drop by this place, and the bar seats are full, be sure to ask the bartender the estimated wait, and take him/her for their word.
