The date

The Naam opened in Kits in 1968, back when W 4th was still Rainbow Road, and it's run on hippie-diner time ever since: vegetarian, a little chaotic, and open until 3am on weekends. The sesame fries with miso gravy are a local rite of passage and vanish faster than seems reasonable. There's usually live music to cover any first-date silences. Stay late.

How to do it

No reservations, so just walk in and aim for one of the snug back tables under the plants, away from the door. Split the sesame fries with miso gravy (non-negotiable, it's the dish the city is sentimental about) and a Dragon Bowl, and check who's playing, because there's live music most nights tucked in the corner. The trick first-timers miss: it's open till 3am Friday and Saturday, so this is your move when the rest of Kits has gone dark and you're not ready to end the night.
