Kismet

Diners come in all day between 10 a.m. and 11 p.m. for the daytime and dinner menus of family-style Middle Eastern food, which has ingredients sourced from local farmers whenever possible. Must-try staples include flaky bread with labneh, lemon, and honey; the lemony chicken-and-pine-nut pie; and the Persian cucumber salad. From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. is the restaurant's version of happy hour, with $10 glasses of wine. If you don't want to wait in line, especially around peak dinner hours, reservations are a must—plan early, though, because this is a place that books up weeks in advance.
