Where To Eat With Flaky Friends
"The Filipino food at Mama Fina’s is ideal for a group of friends who want to drink beer and enjoy steaming heaps of meat together. There’s something extremely relaxed and communal about this place - so whether you know exactly how many people are going to show or you’re secretly hoping your friend brings his very attractive coworker, just order a ton of garlicky things and don’t worry so much. This East Village spot is known for their sisig (we like the pork and milkfish versions the best) so get a few of those as well as the lumpia shanghai spring rolls and some halo halo for dessert. And since you order everything at the counter, it’s easy for people to trickle in late without causing any anxiety." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
