"If your date is looking for the genuine Sichuan hot pot article and you're looking for a meal for two under $60, head to Feng Hot Pot in Midtown Village. They have three broths: spicy beef tallow (it’s fiery), mushroom, and tomato soup with a fantastic sour tang. Grab a soju bucket (it reminds of a citrusy beer sangria), ask a few burning questions, and if you don't like the answers (or do and want to take the party to your place) you can take it all to-go." - candis mclean, alison kessler
