Askili Orchard

Georgian cuisine in Manhattan often stays under the radar, but Askili Orchard holds its ground along Sixth Avenue. The spot offers both takeout and dine-in options, catering to quick lunches or longer solo dinners. Their menu includes an all-you-can-eat selection, and alcohol—beer, wine, and cocktails—gets mentioned more than once in passing. It’s the kind of place where a glass of Saperavi or a well-mixed cocktail might pair just as well with khachapuri as with conversation.

You’ll find them at 401 6th Ave, New York, NY 10014, a stretch where office workers and theatergoers overlap. Need to confirm hours or ask about the wine list? Call (646) 344-1241. For first-timers, the map helps—because even in Midtown, some addresses play hide-and-seek with the grid. The name alone suggests something rooted, though whether that’s in soil or tradition is left to the plate.
