This is exactly the kind of spot we want to while away the hours with a big group of friends over many, many bottles of Riesling (though it's BYOR here!). Come here for excellent authentic Chinese cuisine.

An ode to casual yet excellent Chinese cuisine, Sunnys Chinese is the kind of place you never want to leave. It's MIMI Chinese's funky downtown cousin, and we couldn't love it more.

Parallel Brothers is a creative Middle Eastern restaurant that also happens to make its own sesame butter on-site. The service is warm and the food very, very good.

The fact that the wine list at Grey Gardens is jam-packed with hard-to-find bottles and that the crowd leans heavily bougie hipster does not make this place feel pretentious, funnily enough. Instead, Grey Gardens is charming, familiar and irresistible.
