"Shirin Raz and Daniel Gahr of Bar Shiru took over this corner space in the Floral Depot building and installed Gold Palm, a restaurant that serves what the couple dubbed “Pakistani party food.” Diners can tuck into chicken samosas, salads, or the chile cheese toasty, a cheddar- and Gruyere-laden grilled cheese with jalapeño inside. If there’s time, see if there’s room to dip into the attached speakeasy Moonglow for drinks, although be aware that visitors are prohibited from taking photos and videos inside." - Dianne de Guzman
