"For your next double date, head to this charming Lebanese spot on 5th Avenue where the chefs are sure to be rolling out pita rounds by the front door. They’ve got a big backyard with string lights, and a wine list that highlights producers from Lebanon and Morocco. Get some garlicky hummus and akhtabut, crispy octopus served with couscous, and the whole roasted dorade with a tomato pepper stew that’s great for a group." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
