"If that romantic island vacation fell through (next time, don’t forget to click “book”), know that dinner at Stateside is nearly as relaxing as lying on a beach cradling a cocktail. Sit as close to the printed palm wallpaper as possible, and try a passionfruit bourbon sour to really get in the mood. Then, share delicious Vietnamese fusion dishes, like crispy duck fresh rolls and bun cha with homemade grilled sausage. Always finish with the Vietnamese coffee creamsicle. You’ll be planning your next (real) trip by the end of the night." - aimee rizzo
