Secret Diner (spoiler: it’s us)
The Secret Diner got lost between the axe-throwing posters and the elevator concierge twice before finding the third floor—proof we are District 24 people, not compass people. Once seated, the bay did what bays do: forgave us for being late. Someone ordered steak theatrics, someone ordered crab diplomacy, and the room leaned into open-kitchen theater like it remembered the old Embers applause track. Check the site for reopen windows; we are not here to debate April calendars with a smudged chalkboard.
