1. Missy Robbins: Beard nominee, occasional chef to the Obamas, Michelin-starred chef at A Voce. Person responsible for this... It’s Lilia (pictured left), and it’s a Williamsburg Italian spot the size of an auto garage because it used to be one. First, you can take a good look at it and its food here. Good-looking stuff. Here’s what you need to
UD gets deep thoughts on food and life from silky smooth Frenchman Jean-Luc Naret, Director of Michelin, who flies around the world to eat and stay at the best restaurants and hotels (yeah, life is rough). At least he's willing to share— UD: What's the best city in the world for food? JN: For diversity, New York. For technique, Tokyo. For creativity, Spain
For too long now, your NYC seafood options have been limited to omakase sushi, fried tilefish, peekytoe crab, diver scallops, Island Creek oysters, razor clams, monkfish, blackened catfish, smoked sardines, octopus, shrimp and grits, sturgeon, salmon roe and dozens more. Well, those dark days are over. Because welcome Wisefish Poké, a quick lunch stop-off
Tonight. You’ve gone to a bar, like you do, on a Friday. Maybe you went to another. Maybe you went to a party after that. Maybe the sun is on the verge of emerging. Then maybe you go to the Regal, a late-night neighborhood diner and cocktail bar from the opulent minds of Hotel Chantelle, now open. It’s pretty diner-like, with red booths and a bar that
Meet the Dorseys, Jenny and Matt. They’d just love to have you and (Date’s Name) sometime. Really, it’s about time you two stopped by the house for a multicourse, cocktail-paired dinner. They’ll just whip something up real quick. No trouble at all. They’ll call the whole thing I Forgot It’s Wednesday, the best New York supper club you’ll read
Sigmund Freud once said, “Beauty has no obvious use; nor is there any clear cultural necessity for it. Yet civilization could not do without it.” Preach, Freud. Preach. And that brings us to a handsome place called Freud, one of those Austrian-tinged comfort food brasseries with a Michelin-starred chef you see so often these days on LaGuardia Place. It’s
We’re about to get what some might consider hyperbolic here. So just bear with us, get excited and unhinge a jaw for Salvation Burger, April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman’s version of a casual burger spot, now open at the Pod 51 Hotel in Midtown East. When we say “their version,” what we mean is that there are wood-fire ovens, a full bar and a very large wall
Well, you already know why you’re here. Come on in. For the first time in more than a decade, the Batali and Bastianich crew has a new stand-alone place. It’s Italian. It’s at the Maritime Hotel. It’s opening fully tonight. And it’s called La Sirena. Look, you weren’t going to escape this. When something opens from the people who created Babbo, Del
Cue the slow-motion, ultra-close-up igniting of a flame. Cut to the taking out of a pizza from a massive wood-burning oven. Cut to you saying to your date, “The Charlie Bird guys run this place, you know.” Cut to the date: “Oh, really? I love that place.” You: “Me, too, date. Me, too.” You might want to work on your dialogue game. And you might want to
It’s Friday and the whole city’s got that... Friday feeling. So as not to distract from that warmth, let’s dive in... To Bedford & Co, a post-work spot for a casual two-man ribeye and a cocktail, now open near Grand Central from the man behind Waverly Inn, the Lion and Crown. We’re going to quickly invent a word here and then promise never to use it
