"Open for: DinnerPrice range: $$Alem has been serving shareable Ethiopian entrees over spongy injera in the heart of downtown for over a decade. Vegetarian and carnivorous specialties include yemisir wot (slow-cooked lentils), doro wat with ayib (cottage cheese), and kitfo (steak tartare) rich with cardamom. Try some form of tibs and garlicky steamed collard greens, and give your nose over to the haze of red pepper sauce. African beers and wines, as well as ouzo-spiked tea, pair well with any convivial, family-style feast. Best for: Eating with your hands with close friends." - Todd Lazarski
