"Chef Yia Vang’s Hmong restaurant, Vinai, is as accommodating of sit-down feasts as it is easy happy hours at the bar. Order a dish or two from the Khoom Noj (snacks) menu — maybe a curry rice ball stuffed with blue crab, or oil-packed mackerel in a tomato and chile confit — to pair with a refreshing culantro highball." - Natalia Mendez
