"Your family’s here visiting, and you need a spot that’s accessible from both your mom’s hotel on Canal and your aunt’s hotel in Midtown. Ideally, it would also have a long menu with plenty of options, and a noisy enough atmosphere that you won’t have to apologize to nearby tables once your cousins move on to their second martinis. Head to Kyma, a big Greek restaurant near Union Square that serves some very good seafood and has a bunch of round tables that work for groups of around six to eight. There’s usually a bit of a crowd here, but you should still be able to change your reservation from five to eight people when you find out that significant others were invited as well. Just keep in mind that it gets pricey." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
