Diminutive Moto, tucked under the cozy rattle of the JMZ, is a quaint, bubbly bistro frequented by local loft-dwellers and venturesome city-folk alike.With live nightly music, intimate seating arrangements and decent prices, it's hard to focus on the static menu and the so-so service. Gas-lit ambience and antiqued mirrors do make all the difference. Menu standouts include the olives with pomegranates, herb-marinated mushrooms and yes, the oft-written about date cake, which pairs quite nicely with the Black Velvet cocktail.
