"Marcus Samuelsson’s Hav & Mar has a ready-made party atmosphere, with painted mermaids on the ceiling, and food that draws inspiration from Sweden, Ethiopia, and elsewhere. There are a few private dining areas, with minimum spends from $2,000-2,500 depending on the room. Smaller groups of around 8 people can also book a semi-private table in the middle of the space." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, will hartman
