"The staff likely won’t bat an eye when you and your giant crew stroll into Gao’s Kabob in Chinatown. They’ll just direct you to the other center tables where you can load up on skewers of grilled lamb, beef, fish, and garlic chives. Gao’s stays open pretty late, which means it can be the destination for a power up before a bar crawl, or become the only stop of the evening. Just keep the beer towers flowing and before long, someone in your group might feel emboldened enough to do a little karaoke." - Gianni Greene, Chelsea Thomas
