"The Consulate is the kind of place for a night out you'll be talking about tomorrow. The Midtown restaurant reinvents itself every 90 days, with a featured cuisine that could be anything from South African to Thai. While satisfying favorites like crispy okra and jollof rice with suya spice stick around, each visit is like spinning a prize wheel. And sometimes literally. Their "spin night" raffle lets one guest determine the next featured region by giving their globe a whirl. A live DJ amps up the cosmopolitan atmosphere with region-specific music, and it's hard not to get swept up in the excitement. There's something inherently cool about letting fate decide your next meal, which remains consistently good despite the ever-changing focus." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
