The first episode of the new FX/Hulu series "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette" shows the couple on a fictional first date at East Village old-timer Panna II. (Link.)
Reservations at Panna II at 93 First Ave. near Sixth Street reportedly surged 40% after the first episode on Feb. 12.
Some readers think this new awareness is a positive thing, as business has been off here in recent years, and Panna II is now the last of the Indian establishments at the once-vibrant restaurant address.

I was always a Milon guy ... back when there were four guys at the steps trying to get you into their restaurants... I'd just say no thank you and go straight to Milon. I miss that place so much and never felt right going to Pranna instead - it was the competitor lol
Back in the day Little India on 6th between 2/1 had many “Indian” restaurants It was said there was one big kitchen under the street. And those restaurants were really run by Bangladeshis.
