replying to u/Malsperanza: This. Actually, any restaurant with "concept designed by \[\_\_\_\_\]" is pretty much no-go for me. Also, all the corporate restaurant groups. "The same team that brought you X, Y, and Z." I just can't. I don't care how many stars they have. Favorite fried chicken in NYC: * Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too (the clear winner) In no particular order: * Charles * Popeye's * Chicherones at El Malecon * Pies n Thighs * Gage & Tollner except why would I order chicken at G&T?

replying to u/rebeccasngeun: * **Ma De** in Soho is great. Slightly on the nicer pricier end, without breaking the bank, the interior and vibes are amazing, and the cocktails are phenomenal too. * **8282** right off Houston is a Korean restaurant. It's a little more on the modern take of Korean food, but once again good vibes and great food. * **Monkey Bar** is a great steak house. Really phenomenal steak and has that like old timey New York feel on the inside of the restaurant. Service is really great too. * **Raku** is a Japanese udon place, and I would say it's slightly more casual, but it's very chic and trendy and vibey on the inside. The udon is really good and it's located in Soho. * If she's wanting a bougie place, **Oiji Mi** is a michelin star restaurant located in the Flatiron district that has a phenomenl set menu. I've heard great things about Atomix, bom and Jua as well. All really nice and bougie Korean restaurants if that's the vibes. The other 5 I can vouch for because I've been. Good luck!!
