Why We Like It
As the first-born of the Happy Cooking Hospitality family of restaurants, fathered by restaurateur Gabriel Stulman, JL is essential for every meal of the day. And if you're looking for someplace cozy, this is it.
Need to Know
We're a tiny restaurant, with only seven tables, a couple dozen bar seats, and a handful of outdoor tables. More than half of our diners on any given night walk-in without reservations. When there's a wait, our Maitre d' will quote you a time and grab a number so they can be in touch.
The best way to reach the restaurant is via the Resy confirmation text thread. Email's slower, but you can deliver to our inbox via hello@happycookingnyc.com
