The Bushwick pizza restaurant that helped put the neighborhood on the map and still delivers one of the best pies in the city. The wood-fired oven turns out blistered, chewy Neapolitan-style pizzas in a space that still feels like the warehouse party it evolved from. The Bee Sting — hot honey and sopressata — is a modern classic.

Insider tip

The Bee Sting pizza. Sit in the back garden if weather allows. Go at an off-hour — 3pm on a weekday is ideal.

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
EatLower East Side

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.

EatWest Loop · Chicago, Illinois

Girl & The Goat

Stephanie Izard's flagship is still the most fun you can have at a dinner table in Chicago. The menu is organized by vegetables, fish, and meat, and every section has at least one dish that makes you grab whoever you're with and insist they try it. The goat is in the name for a reason — the wood-oven roasted goat with pickled peppers is a signature that's earned its fame.

EatArts District · Los Angeles, California

Bavel

Ori Menashe's second act — a Middle Eastern restaurant that might actually be better than Bestia. The lamb neck shawarma is transcendent, the hummus is impossibly smooth, and the pita arrives puffed and blistered from a wood-burning oven. The dining room is a desert oasis of hanging plants and warm light. Every bite feels like the product of deep, personal knowledge.
