First Impressions: Amada
Amada, the big new Spanish restaurant in Brookfield Place, arrives with high expectations, thanks to chef Jose Garces's James Beard Award and "Iron Chef" status. So how is it? / 2 comments
First Impressions: Café Altro Paradiso
Three years after charming the food world with Estela, sommelier Thomas Carter and chef Ignacio Mattos have partnered on a second restaurant, Café Altro Paradiso, that recently opened at the corner of Spring and Sixth. So how is it? / 9 comments
First Impressions: The Django
Can the new jazz bar at the Roxy Hotel capture some of that old Silver Lining magic? / 3 comments
First Impressions: El Luchador
While eating excellent fish tacos outside a vintage Airstream trailer, we felt like we were on vacation in a scruffier, more interesting city. / 2 comments
First Impressions: Sessanta
Fans of Lure Fishbar will feel right at home at Sessanta, the stylish-but-noisy Italian hotspot in the Sixty Soho hotel. Bonus points: Fausto from the Harrison is tending bar there. / 4 comments
First Impressions: Maison Kayser
The chain's seventh location in New York City has opened in the former Harrison space, and it's undeniably pretty. The food and service call to mind Le Pain Quotidien, which could be Kayser's bobo cousin. / 10 comments
First Impressions: Parm
The food is more sophisticated and better executed than the setting, or even the menu, lets on. And where else is your amuse bouche going to be a fried mozzarella stick? / 3 comments
First Impressions: Black Tap
It calls to mind the kind of places that used to be all over the city, or at least below 14th Street: fifteen seats, a lone counter, two staffers, no attitude. Plus: the best veggie burger around. / 1 comment
First Impressions: Beaubourg
Perigourdine sauce, cumin gressin, ratte potatoes, brunoise printanière.... That sort of talk can be a real turn-on, if you can deliver on it. / 3 comments
First Impressions: Northern Tiger
It's to Northern Tiger's immense credit that the restaurant is not serving the same old Chinese-American food. (But it does have tasty dumplings.) / 6 comments
First Impressions: Belle Reve
Despite the Beat-era trappings, Belle Reve calls more to mind someplace Gus Van Sant might've hung out in the 90s—someplace that probably would've made more sense in the Tribeca of the 90s. / 2 comments
First Impressions: Bar Hugo
The rooftop bar is a fantastic spot to take a group—there are nooks aplenty—or anyone who enjoys admiring the city's skyline. / 1 comment
