"At this leafy-wallpapered Indian restaurant in Flatiron, you can enjoy all the pros of picnicking in a meadow at dusk, with none of the cons. That lush atmosphere, plus big tables and comfy leather chairs, make Passerine a good option for a special-feeling group dinner. You can often grab a same-day table, with reservations for parties of up to eight available to book online. Make sure your order includes the chicken with a silky spinach curry, and the adorable cocoa husk ice cream sandwich, wrapped in brown paper and sealed with a vintage-looking bird stamp." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
