"If schmaltz, chopped liver, and chocolate egg creams occupy key positions in your personal food pyramid, then this Jewish steakhouse-slash-bar mitzvah afterparty is the place for you. Sammy’s Roumanian has been going strong since 1975 (with a recent hiatus and relocation), with house entertainer Dani Luv still providing the Sinatra standards, parody songs, and Borscht Belt-y shtick. Bottles of vodka encased in blocks of ice do a lot to set the mood, too. Come on a Friday or a Saturday, when the restaurant-wide singalong to “Sweet Caroline” reaches maximum volume, and everyone’s served a $75 family-style set menu. Be prepared to join hands with the grandparents sitting next to you and dance the hora around the dining room." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman
