The Best NYC Restaurants For A Birthday Dinner - New York - The Infatuation

"Any dinner at Bungalow feels like a big deal, and not just because it has a TV-famous chef. The entrance is framed with artificial flowers, and the sunken dining room doglegs into a greenhouse-like space with vines drooping from the ceiling. The East Village restaurant is a flashy place—with food that more than holds its own. Your birthday could really use some roasted pineapple in a vivid yellow curry. Online reservations go up 20 days in advance at 11am. Bungalow accepts walk-ins for the dining room and eight-seat bar. If you want a walk-in table, your best bet is early in the week. We've also had some success with email (info@bungalowny.com)." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
