Ma-Dé: Where Crop Tops Meet Shrimp Toast and Affordable Wine.
Ma-Dé, an Indonesian-influenced restaurant in Nolita, offers a contrast of greenery, concrete, and marble with a warm soundtrack and attentive waitstaff. The tight wine menu focuses on natural wines and Asian-influenced cocktails, while the menu emphasizes seasonality with dishes like fava bean dumplings and soft-shell crab. Solo diners may find the bar seating awkward, but the staff does its best to make them feel at home. Prices can add up when ordering small plates for one.
