Xi'an Famous Foods

Xi’an is one of the only NYC chain restaurants that has the ability to boost a neighborhood’s street cred. So you should absolutely take advantage of the location on 78th Street. We like to order the spicy cumin lamb hand-ripped noodles whenever we want to remember what it’s like to feel something (they’re delicious, very spicy, and cost $10). You should do the same.

Pho Shop isn’t anything too fancy, but it has the best pho on the Upper East Side. Stop by on a Tuesday night or just get yourself some delivery.
