1/Salvation Burger
Because everyone, yes everyone, needs to try April Bloomfield’s (of The Spotted Pig, The Breslin, & The John Dory) burger. Made with grass-fed beef that’s butchered in-house the menu also includes house-smoked hot dogs, a veggie burger, a crispy fish sandwich, jalapeño fritters, pies, and fancy shakes. Midtown East, say hello to your new bae. // Midtown East. No reservations.
2/La Sirena
Because whoa, is the Meatpacking District back? Batali and Bastianich bring in an all-star cast to the Maritime Hotel restaurant redo, including Josh Laurano, previously of Babbo, and Michael Laiskonis of Le Bernardin. Molto. // Meatpacking District. (212) 977-6096.
3/Lilia
Because Missy Robbins continues to kick a** with her house-made pasta and wood-fired grill. Go for the food, stay for the vaulted ceilings. // Williamsburg. Book now at Lilia.
4/Sushi Zo
Because, Chef Keizo Seki’s (who’s also behind two of LA’s most acclaimed sushi establishments) balls-out tasting menu features the freshest fish in the game. Balls-out, yes. // West Village. (646) 405-4826.
5/Le Turtle
Because the Freemans guy and the Smile guy are setting up for heat. Protip, ask for the semi-private table. // Lower East Side. (646) 918-7189.
6/High Street of Hudson
Because killer breakfast sandwiches and a high-wire dinner act don’t usually come in the same box, but they do here. Crispy chow chow broccoli and seaweed bucatini are going to get you there. // West Village. (917) 388-3944.
7/The Lucky Bee
Because here’s “farm-to-table Southeast Asian street food” served family style. And, “[They] like boys who like soy + girls who love ginger. Grass fed + grass roots + grass skirts.” Yes, this is a party. // Lower East Side. (917) 262-0329.
8/Timna
Because Chef Nir Mesika is making house-made cheeses, condiments, sauces, ice creams and most importantly, a buttery bread that tastes like something in between brioche and challah. // East Village. Book now at Timna.
9/Llama Inn
Because the scene is right and modern Peruvian food is in. Chef Erik Ramirez brings fresh ingredients and heavenly Peruvian-nuances to each dish including, get this one, corvina ceviche served with lime, dashi and plantains. // Williamsburg. (718) 387-3434.
10/Freud
Because this restaurant is from the Edi & The Wolf team. Here, they are serving contemporary Austrian dishes modeled after brasseries in turn-of-the-century Vienna. Sometimes a rye spaetzle is just a rye spaetzle. // Greenwich Village. (212) 777-0327.
