Where To Go That’s Like Kiki’s But Isn’t Actually Kiki’s

"Somehow, you were unanimously elected to pick a dinner spot for all your friends (again). Trying to get a consensus on a type of food or even a neighborhood will require crisis-resolution skills far above your pay grade, considering you’re doing this for free, and while Kiki’s is always a crowd-pleaser, you can’t risk backlash to the inevitable wait. So just make a reservation at Shuka. This Mediterranean spot always has crowds, but it also has a lot of space and can usually accommodate big groups. The menu has options for everyone, and the location in Soho is convenient to most places if you’re going out anywhere downtown after dinner." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
