Where to grab dinner to-go after work
Sal’s Pizza
“Sal’s is a local legend for its monolithic Sicilian slices,” Sexton says. “Get a crusty, caramelized corner slice and sit in the front window. Or, if you’re pressed for time, take one of those weighty, tombstone-sized boxes of dreamy Sicilian back home.”

Where to Celebrate
That Promotion
Club Car
“This repurposed Metro-North station is
all about soaring ceilings, spectacular light fixtures, and restored original moldings,” Sexton notes. “Look for drop-dead décor and a five-deep bar in the sofa-filled lounge. It’s a great spot for serious celebra- tions that require retro-fabulous, bigwig fare like Manhattans and steak.”

ATTENTION
“Falafel, hummus, shawarma, kebabs—you know the deal,” Sexton says. “Hash o Nash is a great spot for quick, often healthy, takeaways. Plus, its Middle Eastern cuisine is vegetarian friendly. Look for delicious fried halloumi cheese.”

Lum Yen
“Sometimes,” says Sexton, “all you want is a Mai-Tai and a pu pu platter. Big, glitzy Lum Yen hearkens back to that innocent, mid-century age when Chinese food was fun." Speaking of fun, “Snag some sweet- and-sour takeout and download tiki drink recipes for home,” Sexton advises.
