<img class="post_image_header" src=" " />Anita Lo’s Annisa in the West Village was a little fancier than we were expecting, with a simple, elegant interior (for more on all that feng shui, see the video below), dusty rose–colored velvet booths, and oversized vases filled with twisty branches. But it didn't feel stuffy. Lo's food gave a similar vibe: elegant but not overwrought. Unfortunately, our photos don't really do the dishes justice: Using the flash in NYC restaurants these days is pretty much verboten, according to our dining companion that night, Rebecca Marx, writer for the Village Voice's food blog Fork in the Road. (OK by us, since it's pretty embarrassing to be "that guy.")
