Where To Have Your 25th Birthday - New York - The Infatuation

"Ops is where you go for a birthday dinner with six-ish of the kind people who will, at some point during the meal, take turns saying their favorite things about you (this practice is called a Fluff Circle, by the way). It’s comfortable to the point you’ll want to move in, does great Neapolitan pizzas, and has some of the better chocolate cake you can find in Bushwick. The servers let you try as many wines as you want until you find the one you like (they’re all the same price by the glass) and tip is included, so there’s no mess dealing with group bill-splitting that could change the nice things Laurel said about you during the Fluff Circle." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim
