Kismet

There are no set meal hours at Kismet—only "daytime," "dinner," and "snack time." Instead, diners come in all day between 10 a.m. and 11 p.m. for the 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 cucumber and labneh salad. Snack time, which runs between 3 and 5 p.m., is the unofficial happy hour, with $5 beers, $10 glasses of wine, and small plates of olives and other bite-sized edibles for under $15. 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.
