$55 for 5 courses, this one is really a steal. We love Contra for its casual vibes, so it’s great for when we want a memorable food experience but don’t want to wear a suit or feel stressed out about it (which is often). Reservations aren't even that hard to snag, there’s just one set menu, it’s only 5 courses which comparatively is pretty chill, and its LES location is probably right next to where you were going tonight anyway. Really, this one couldn't be any easier.
