There’s forced cool and there’s real cool and Raoul’s in SoHo, which has been around for fifty years, is the real deal. I grabbed a five PM reservation yesterday (that’s how cool it is: the only reservation you can get is for five PM) before seeing a show at The SoHo Playhouse, not really knowing much about what to expect except that Raoul’s always shows up on lists of SoHo’s best restaurants.
