Awesome restaurant by the State Bird people. Loved my Sunny Jin cocktail and a few of my fave dishes were the pig fries (with cauliflower salad), buttered clams, and mushroom kale salad.
Fantastic tofu, but also some great sushi. Go for the daily recommendations in the blackboard. We had top notch Ankimo, Sanma, Hirame, and a great eggplant dish. All Japanese staff btw.
New Yorkers: this place is the caliber of the best Thai places in Queens, like SriPraPhai. The default spiciness is perfect, unless you hate chilies.
Drop what you're doing and get the baked potato tater tots. Doesn't matter if you're not even at the restaurant, hop in an uber and ride towards flavor heaven.
Go to The Big 4 and note the cocktail tables etched with the place's namesakes: Crocker, Hopkins, Huntington, and Stanford.
Great coffee, even better pastries. The monkey bread is sweet, and the pumpkin muffins are super moist.
Get here extra early on the weekend. Word is out about this place and everything is sold out by 11.
Check out the Nixie tube clock in the bathroom that counts how long you've been in there.
Even late reservation are fine -- the dim sum style means there is food on your table just seconds after you sit down, and you won't be hungry for long.
