"Cosmo’s is the standard for which all neighborhood bars should strive. It’s adequately quirky—a small TV plays VHS tapes, there’s mismatched furniture and a jukebox, and bartenders keep your tab on actual pieces of paper. The Vietnamese menu is filled with family recipes, and the drinks range from a few simple cocktails to usual-suspect beers and liquors. You’ll see large groups celebrating with cans of beer, and solo regulars eating warming bowls of pho and crispy, Cajun dry-rub chicken wings while half-watching Robocop or Ghostbusters. Cinephiles take note: If you sit next to the TV, you get to pick the movie. Don’t f*ck it up." - Kevin Gray
