"You could make the argument that your goodbye dinner should be a place you’re familiar with. Maybe even a spot that everyone knows about, a classic NYC institution. If that’s how you’re feeling, you could always try an old steakhouse like Peter Luger or an Italian spot like Bamonte’s - but we’d rather keep it casual. Do Roberta’s instead. It’s laid-back enough that one of your friends can get wine-drunk and start crying, and you can reminisce about every other time you’ve eaten this pizza." - bryan kim
