Ruby's, E. 11th St
Ruby's has a lot of attractive qualities, including good partitions, a very solid roof on the deck, nice foliage, and real furniture.
The Evolution of Spicy Moon, W. 3rd St
More than any other restaurant that I pass regularly, Spicy Moon has been experiencing an ongoing evolution. Starting from the bottom: they decided on garish neon early on as a design choice. They soon expanded the pink tape with other neon colors. Then they added bright red plastic dividers, with color-changing rope lights. In its most recent incarnation, the neon tape has been replaced with street art that reflects its vegan mission (note that the animals have "Save Me" written on them). Spicy Moon's food is amazing, and I was thrilled when they moved next door. I have almost no desire to eat in this space, however.
