"Abyssinia is a great neighborhood spot to bring a friend or a date if you'd like to share some spicy beef stew off of the same plate. The food here is Ethiopian, and all of the vegetable dishes are vegan. Get the meat or vegetable combo—between the different stews, injera bread, and vegetable sides, you’ll get a ton of food for around $20 per person. This restaurant is on 135th, so it’s a good option if you’re coming from the north for your show." - sonal shah, kenny yang, willa moore
