Prince Street Pizza

New York, New York

A tiny slice shop on Prince Street that does exactly one thing better than nearly anyone in the city: the pepperoni square. The small, crisp-edged pepperoni cups pool with oil, the cheese is thick and molten, and the square Sicilian crust has a crunch that haunts you. The line wraps around the block for a reason.

Insider tip

The spicy spring pepperoni square. Only the square. Get two slices — you'll regret stopping at one.

Di An Di

A Vietnamese restaurant in Greenpoint that treats pho like a religion and the dining room like a greenhouse. The space is all exposed brick and trailing plants, and the food has a precision that elevates every bowl without losing the soul of the cooking. The brunch crowd is real, but dinner is where the kitchen stretches.

Dhamaka

Indian food that has nothing to do with the butter chicken you grew up ordering. Chintan Pandya's menu pulls from the rural corners of India that most restaurants ignore — goat brain, rabbit kidney, offal in ways that would make a French chef jealous. The room on Essex Street is loud and joyful and smells like someone cracked open a spice cabinet the size of a continent.

The NoMad Hotel
StayChelsea

The NoMad Hotel

A grand Beaux-Arts building where every floor feels like a different chapter of the same beautiful novel. The rooms are layered with books, velvet, and the kind of considered detail that makes you want to cancel your plans and just stay in. The rooftop is a scene, but the library is the real living room of this hotel.

EatChinatown · Las Vegas, Nevada

Lotus of Siam

The Northern Thai restaurant that put Vegas dining on the serious-food map decades before the city had a serious-food map. Saipin Chutima's khao soi, drunken noodles, and crispy beef are the kind of dishes that travel writers fly in to eat. The Sahara location is a strip-mall room with no business looking this unassuming and serving food this important.

Franklin Barbecue

Yes, the line. Yes, it's worth it. Aaron Franklin turned a backyard hobby into the most famous barbecue in America, and somehow the brisket still tastes like someone cares about you personally. The bark is black as midnight and the fat renders into something spiritual. Bring a chair, bring a cooler, make friends. The wait is half the experience.
