Forlini's
This old school Italian joint has never tried to be cool, and yet it's seen a recent resurgence as a hot spot thanks to the downtown crowd feeling like they've "discovered" it. The white tablecloths, plush red booths, and wood-paneled walls featuring art you might find in your nonna's basement are so anti-Instagram, they're actually 100% chic.
