What I wrote thereFold it away

Plot twist: another Italian restaurant makes the list. I promise I’m not being biased, it’s just New Yorkers can’t get enough of the magic pastas, wines and wood-fired seafood at Lilia.

It almost doesn’t matter the restaurant is housed in a former auto body shop. The hard to get reservations go live at 10AM, 28 days in advance, so set an alarm to dine at one of the most popular restaurants in New York City.
