"If you’re looking for a movement to join, may we suggest the cult of Hillstone? The national restaurant chain—business-casual Applebee’s, essentially—only has one location in NYC, and it’s developed a loyal following thanks to its flawless service and supernaturally consistent American food. Bring a few friends or associates, spread out in a plush booth enveloped in a little cocoon of light, and conduct your initiation ceremony. It should involve artichoke dip, a crisp martini, and a french dip sandwich stuffed with silky prime rib." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, carina finn koeppicus
