Arlo & Esme, filled with white porcelain teacups and window seats with porch-side roses, is the grandmother’s cottage you’d always hoped you’d inherit. But if you’re going to dream up a cottage for bequeathing, why stop there? Give Grannie a little credit. How about a catacomb of nighttime revelry? Two bars? A pool table? A disco ball? A DJ booth? A make-out nook? Arlo & Esme, then, is the cocktail-slugging, disco-dancing, pool-sharking, bust-a-moving, suck-facing Grandma’s cottage you’ve never had. And, damn, it’s good to be home.-Cait Weiss
