The Best Restaurants Near Union Square
"No one is excited to be near Union Square every day. So when you need some tellicherry peppercorns before your sense of purpose completely depletes, book a table at Kanyakumari from the folks behind Laut. Date night appropriate and halfway festive—a few chandeliers, some neon, etc.—this coastal South Indian spot goes heavy on spices and fried curry leaves. Order a crispy butterflied branzino over a thick Kerala-inspired curry, or try the sweet and salty stir-fried beef tossed in a chili sauce. You can get out for around $50 per person, although you should really try some cocktails, like the Old Fashioned made with jaggery." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren
