"Potluck Club is a Cantonese-American spot that sits on the border of Chinatown and the LES. The fun dining room has faux movie theater displays that also dispense fortune cookies, and a bar lit-up with a sign that says “Here for a good time, not a long time.” Dishes like salt-and-pepper chicken served with chive biscuits and chili crisp jam are special enough for a night out, while also being the kind of things you want to eat every day. As you enjoy the Dole Whip soft serve topped with a bolo bao crumble for dessert, smile about the fact that you're nowhere near Times Square." - neha talreja
