Miss Lily's, with its laid back Jamacian roots and its wide collection of reggae music, has been blowing up as of late. The retro ambiance combined with mellow service and home style island meals makes you feel like you are in someone's home. Be sure to show off Melvin's juice bar and authentic reggae record shop next door that recently opened, the highlight of what makes this spot extra special.
And even though Anna Wintour protested against the restaurant's opening, the spot has become a hub for the socially and fashionably elite (Karen Elson even had her birthday party there).
