Do or Dine: All right, let’s go over the ground rules at Do or Dine: there are none. Well, except that sleeping till 5pm is absolutely acceptable, making lunch a no-go and din all the more divine. A troika of young, brash, and clearly manly former employees at The Modern opened this irreverent joint where the cuisine can only be specified as “fried.” That doesn’t mean a boring Shoney’s-style buffet though—Do or Dine focuses more on the the drunk and sublime with goofily named offerings such as the E666s (deviled eggs, $9), the tako taco ($6), and their iconic foie gras donut (yes, they’re still serving it, for $11). The joint is tiny but jam-packed with oddities like a disco ball and a curved tile wall (how did they do that?!). A recently approved bar (both crap and craft, $4-7, and a cocktail list both classic and bizarre, $7-11) plus desserts with a similar dose of levity (s’mores, $3), make this surely the most whimsical place to go when you’re feeling a little loopy.
