"Dept. of Culture, a Bed-Stuy Nigerian spot that does a four-course prix fixe for $97.20, feels like a dinner party at your coolest friend’s house. Make friends while you sip your BYO-bottle of choice to the tune of Nigerian vinyl. While it was once harder to get a seat at this four-course prix fixe than an in-unit washer and dryer, reservations have opened up recently—probably because they opened a new place, Radio Kwara, so now’s your chance." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
