"NYC has plenty of places dedicated to bikes or hats or plants, but Biryani Kitchen might be the only spot in the city dedicated to biryani. This Indian place in Greenwich Village that serves five different kinds with protein options like fried prawns or lemon chicken. And if you feel warm on the inside when your takeout looks like an expertly-wrapped gift, you’ll appreciate their large, high quality, gold-trim to-go containers. They look like something you’d receive in a goodie bag at a baby shower, and the content inside will make even the dullest Wednesday night feel special." - nikko duren
