Tsismis NYC

Head to this Lower East Side Filipino-American bar-restaurant, whose name comes from the Spanish word for “gossip,” for a menu that emphasizes local, sustainable ingredients. Find traditional dishes such as lumpia and chicken adobo; snacks like fried wings and dumplings made to go with drinks; and boodleyan—a to-go picnic wrapped in a large banana leaf that makes a family meal (and must be ordered two days ahead).
