"The long-running French-Vietnamese restaurant in Noho. The menu has a vegetarian section to appease the members of the group who have to stick to plants, including a crispy bean curd dish and grilled portobellos with other sautéed veggies. Then there’s plenty for the meat and fish eaters, including a showy shaking beef that comes sizzling. Vibe-wise, more than three decades later and Indochine still manages to be pretty cool without trying too hard, and the cocktail list is solid, including a separate list of non-alcoholic cocktails. You might spot a celeb or two, and the plant-patterned wallpaper — which the restaurant has had since before it became a trend — is an ideal Instagram backdrop." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
