You don’t need a PhD in philosophy to eat at this Church Street bistro, but it might help. Named for 20th-century French philosopher Jacques Derrida—that’s his picture on the wall—La Differance features a mix of Italian and French cuisine, allowing diners to deconstruct their place in the cosmos over plates of sizzling calamari or risotto di mare. Don’t like seafood? Discuss a short treatise over a plate of bourbon ribs. Mains $11–$21.
