Dudley's is a great little treasure on the LES in Manhattan. The interior is cosy and cute. I had a Mint to Be cocktail with gin base that was excellent, followed by the Brussels sprouts and Black Truffle tagliatelle. Both food items were delicious. I'd also had breakfast at Dudley's a few days before which was also excellent!
