"Ignore the banquet chairs and stone vases of the formal dining room at Jora, and head straight back to the bar area, a more fitting place to get loose on the weekends. The LIC restaurant gets packed by early afternoon, and again at dinner, and they don’t take reservations—but you won’t have to wait long for a table. Claim a hightop if you can for optimum people-watching, and follow your plate of ceviche mixto with aji de gallina and one of the best lomo saltados in the city." - neha talreja, willa moore, carlo mantuano
