"If spontaneity is your love language, then hedge your bets on The Consulate in Midtown—a suave international restaurant with a great soundtrack, cinematic lighting, and an always-changing menu. The restaurant features a different regional cuisine every 90 days, so maybe you’ll be in for Thai, South African, or Hawaiian. No matter which corner of the globe is in the spotlight, the dishes are consistently delicious. And staples like peppery okra and hearty jollof rice are always available and worth ordering. The place fills up fast, so you'll have to at least plan a reservation unless you want to bump elbows at the small bar." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
