"The Jewish steakhouse-slash-bar mitzvah afterparty that is Sammy’s Roumanian has been going strong since 1975 (with a recent hiatus and relocation, from Chrystie Street to Stanton Street). House entertainer Dani Luv provides Sinatra standards, parody songs, and Borscht Belt-y shtick, and 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 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." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
