"Claro’s big backyard full of trees, string lights, and aqua-colored patio furniture is one of our favorite places in the city to eat outside. They don’t crowd the space with too many tables, so you won’t have to listen to a bunch of other people on dates having conversations that are worse than yours. And there’s a big outdoor oven where they make their own tortillas. Whenever it’s nice out, you should bring a date here, and, when you do, try as many of their Oaxacan-inspired dishes as possible. Especially the molé." - nikko duren
