"August is all about new perspectives, ideas, and intellectual musings. You need to book a table at HAGS, ASAP. Eating at this tiny East Village spot—billed as “by queer people, for all people”—is like taking a walk through Alice’s looking glass and coming out the other side. After a meal here, you’ll have a new perspective not only on what fine dining can be, but what a restaurant can do for its community. Every dish is flawlessly executed and each component has a backstory." - neha talreja
