"Prove to your parents that just because you’re eating instant ramen and PB&Js to cover your ever-rising rent, it doesn’t mean you forgot what good food tastes like (especially if they're paying). We love the $165 Sofra tasting menu, which is mostly served family-style and comes with fresh, charred pita bread that you’ll dream about long after you're back to your oodles of noodles. Reservations open a month in advance, and that's when you should book if you want to avoid the early bird 5pm dinner slot. Albi does offer walk-in seating at the bar, but you’ll miss all the action in the dining room and open kitchen." - omnia saed
