"Order a bottle of vodka encased in ice and dance the hora in a room that looks like a black box theater with news clippings on the wall. That’s what happens at Sammy’s Roumanian, a Jewish restaurant on the Lower East Side where there’s always at least one group celebrating a birthday. The food is served family-style for $74 per person, and you can expect things like stuffed cabbage, chicken liver tossed tableside, and an enormous, well-seasoned skirt steak that doesn’t quite fit on its plate." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, sonal shah
