Flor De Mayo UWS

This is the original location of Flor De Mayo, a classic Chino Latino restaurant with Peruvian roots that's been around since 1977. On any given night of the week, you'll see a nutcracker with a cocktail umbrella in the hands of almost every person here, and you could probably walk into this Upper West Side spot with 11 of your closest friends and get a table—or at the very least not feel like a complete loser for entertaining the thought of having a fun, last-minute group dinner. You can all just order nutcrackers and pollo a la brasa, which will make splitting the check a breeze.
