a restaurant based on fine tinned european seafood sounds curious enough to heighten our hunger senses, but pair it with good interiors, and our aesthetic tastes are grumbling. this would describe new york’s restaurant maiden lane. moving into the famous life cafe (yes, the one from rent), the spot is reminiscent of a chic seaman — we may have just made up that a genre but we promise it’s a good one. stumped at what to wear to such a joint? well, let’s start with a navy jumpsuit, and some sunny colored accessories for smooth sailing. our suggested read for such an occasion — none other than the classic moby dick.
