Au Cheval – NYC
Au Cheval, the swanky diner that’s home to one of the country’s best burgers, has arrived in New York and is now taking reservations. This Chicago institution from Brendan Sodikoff—the mastermind behind 4 Charles Prime Rib—oozes with handsome furnishes (read: exposed brick, leather banquettes, Medieval-looking chandeliers). Aside from its famed burger, standbys include potato hash with duck heart gravy and a pork porterhouse with foie gras and roasted apples.
