I'll also say comeback queen for me is Lilia because I went there a few years ago and was so disappointed and then I went...

When did you go to Lelia?

I went there with my dining companion, Jonathan, like a month ago.

And we went like at like 915 and like it was amazing, like the Anguilotti was like so pillowy and delicious and like tangy and sweet and

salty and everything was just like really gorgeous.

Honourable mention. Okay. I have been wanting New York to have a place that serves actually good Chicago hot dogs or even just a Chicago hot dog like what we call the sideways salad Bob's Italian beef in Carol Gardens is like kind of corny because it is like fully Chicago themed when you go in there so it does you know there's being it's like okay we get it this is but it has all the

classical Italian beef have a hot dog grinder salad and there's like cubs you know

posters everywhere but the fucking dog they serve tastes like you are on whatever division in Westerns all the stuff the

seated bun it's like six bucks it's bomb dot fucking calm.

Slay.

And of course, shout out to my favorite pizza place,

Lucia, which just opened a Soho location.

Congrats to them on their expansion their expansion. Okay is next best bar because are we gonna say it?

Let's do best bar because I'm just too excited to say it and I was only even like if we should say it or she was keep gatekeeping it.

Continue to gate keep.

I mean we can I get, I mean it's just for club kids,

Okay, do you know what I'm thinking?
