"If you haven’t been to Lilia yet, it’s probably because you’re not into the idea of staying up until 12:01am to try to make a reservation, and you’re even less into the idea of trying your luck at a walk-in only to be told you’re not getting in tonight. Which is exactly why you should file it in away in your brain for a spontaneous occasion. On a summer evening when you get off work early - or on a weekend when you’re down to eat on a geriatric schedule - head over to this incredible modern Italian restaurant. They open at 5:30pm, and if you get there in the first hour, you have an excellent shot at sitting on their plentiful sidewalk seating. Stop making excuses and just go eat here. You will not regret it." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
