"Gene’s opened in 1919, and it’s not just Sarah Jessica Parker’s favorite restaurant—it’s a lot of people’s favorite restaurant. The old-school Italian spot is always packed, even on a Tuesday, and though you can sit at a table in the dining room next to someone wearing their furs and order veal parm from a server in a vest, you should always try for the bar. It’s a coveted spot for heavy pours of red wine and garlicky baked clams under a thick layer of golden brown breadcrumbs. End with a raspberry cordial parfait with chocolate ice cream that’s boozy enough to make you feel eternally grateful to live in NYC so you can take public transportation home." - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja, arden shore
