"I recommend Indochine, the long-running French-Vietnamese restaurant in Noho that was even featured on the CW prequel The Carrie Diaries. The menu includes a vegetarian section — think crispy bean curd and grilled portobellos with sautéed vegetables — and plenty for the meat and fish eaters, including a showy, sizzling shaking beef. Vibe-wise it still feels cool without trying too hard; the cocktail list is solid (with a separate list of non-alcoholic cocktails), you might spot a celeb or two, and the plant-patterned wallpaper — which the restaurant has had for decades — makes an ideal Instagram backdrop." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
