"Even at lunchtime on a weekday, this neighborhood staple in Elmhurst is the sort of place you could easily spend several hours. There’s a long bar, a bunch of tables, and a wall in the back, covered in Polaroids of regular customers who come here every weekend for live music, cocktails, and momos. If you’re looking for great meal, head to one of the other spots on this list. (Annapurna Thakali Kitchen is right next door.) But if a fun night at a long-time local institution, with bites of fried momo between cocktails is what you’re after, Himalayan Yak is a good choice." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim
