"NYC The first bite into Lilia’s sheep’s milk cheese agnolotti is a canon event in any New York eating timeline. It’s one of the city’s most essential Italian restaurants, so it’s been hard to get a table since the Obama administration. It’s easiest to get a reservation over the phone—they’re released 30 days in advance at 10am, and whatever doesn’t get picked up gets released online at midnight. There are also bar seats and outdoor tables saved for walk-ins, but don’t be surprised if you’re quoted a two-hour wait after putting your name on the list." - anne cruz
