"Leyla is a Turkish restaurant in the bottom of a townhouse on 74th Street, and it very much feels like the kind of nice neighborhood place where people stay out later than they normally do on the Upper West Side. Hang out in the narrow dining room in the back, and drink some good cocktails with your significant other while you catch up on all the things that happened in the six hours since you saw one another. The menu is split up by pide (Turkish flatbreads), mezze and hot appetizers, and main courses that all fall within the $25 range. Whichever main you go with, split a pide as well. Each comes with a ton of cheese in a little boat shape." - hannah albertine
