1. Momofuku Ssäm Bar
Seaport
Long live Ssäm Bar — in any of its formats. The latest revamp of Momofuku’s iconic second restaurant is here —now located in the South Street Seaport, and helmed by Eunjo Park, the celebrated former executive chef of Kāwi (RIP). So what are you waiting for? Grab a table (or set some Notifys) for a meal of “extremely” spicy scallop kimbap, cacio e pepe rice cakes, and sizzling galbi-marinated skirt steak on the restaurant’s scenic waterside patio. (And if you want the secrets to that kimbap, Park is hosting an online class June 2, available to Amex cardmembers via Resy.)
Dining status: Reservations open for patio dining.
