"The cocktails at Rao’s aren’t fancy—Starry is one of the more popular mixers—but they are strong. So when you stumble back outside, tipsy and humiliated after being denied a table, you might need a quick bite with limited human interaction. Go to Sam’s. The cash-only, neighborhood slice shop has been around since 1962. The pizza is solid at any time, but highly excellent when you really need it. We actually went here post-Rao’s, pre-Sylla. A single slice is really just a snack, after all." - sonal shah, willa moore
