There is a type of New York bistro that people like because it reminds them of other New York bistros. Some of the older examples of this type were built in imitation of actual places in the real France, but some of the younger ones didn’t go that far away for inspiration. They may evoke fond memories of French meals, but most of those French meals were eaten in dining rooms built by Keith McNally.

Right now, at the market, you’ll probably find fresh shelling beans piled high in their pods. While you’re at it, scout the market for ribbonlike Romano beans, also called runner beans or flat beans. Then you’ll need some tender green beans, which can sometimes be a problem. Cooked to perfection, these seasonal treats need only a zesty vinaigrette. For me, the beans are the stars, though for all intents and purposes, this is a vegetable version of salade niçoise.

It may seem counterintuitive, but the pandemic was like a brief visit to Shangri-La for Wall Street. For the first time in years, Wall Street has to sing for its supper. A return to the office also means a return to more-classic Wall Street social norms. Wall Street, for all its highfalutin personalities and big paydays, is an apprenticeship system.
