"I appreciate Lala as a sexy vinyl listening bar tucked beneath June, with one backbar half filled with liquor and the other half with records—perfect for those who love cocktails and music. For food, the beef tartare mixed with peppered egg yolk and scooped with salty potato chips and the June burger topped with gruyère and mustard (oozing with beef jus) stand out. The drink list includes classics and lesser-known cocktails, and if you tell the bartender what you want they’ll riff—my new favorite suggestion was a dirty tequila martini made with still-strength tequila and housemade brine." - Sara Harowitz
