"Cobble Hill isn’t exactly known for its Sichuan food, but you can get a proper, fiery bowl of mapo tofu at Shan. They’ve got those creamy dan dan noodles we all want in our takeout rotation, plus some flashier dishes worth changing out of your sweatpants for, like black truffle soup dumplings and spicy whole crabs. Try and snag one of the tables across from the bar, where you can get a view of the Mount Gongga mural glowing behind the bartender." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman
