Housed in a space that was a longtime diner, this scenester eatery is easy on the eyes and tough on the arteries. The corner location boasts walls that open up to the sidewalk while electronic-Euro tunes thump unobtrusively in the background. The staff, who look straight from the set of a photo shoot for Benetton, are friendly and attentive

Jean-Georges Vongerichten's affection for the Far East somehow shows up in all of his restaurants by way of carved teak furniture or exotic spices. Now, in teaming up with the Matsushita brothers, who run the well-known chain of Matsugen restaurants in Japan, JGV pioneers "soba cuisine" in TriBeCa

The buzz about Momofuku Ko---David Chang's first attempt at haute fare---hasn’t stopped since the day it opened. The dexterity of Chang (along with Peter Serpico and a small team of ultra-talented line chefs) is matched only by the dexterity you’ll need to score a reservation here, as the computer literate have a more likely chance to obtain one of the precious 12 seats that surround the very simple counter where Chang’s masterful $100 omakase menu dominates

When Keith McNally, owner of Pastis, Balthazar and Schiller’s Liquor Bar, extended his kingdom of cool to the West Village, car and limo services took notice, knowing the city’s hipperati would soon be swarming there. But relegating Morandi to a hangout for the hip would be a disservice to chef Tony Liu, who achieved acclaim at his nearby West Village eatery, August. Morandi’s offerings are straightforward and traditional, congruent with the arched brick and wood-beamed interior of the eatery.

Hailed as Jean-Georges, Nobu and David Chang rolled into one Hong Kong-bred toque, chef Susur Lee arrived at the chic Thompson LES hotel to shake up the Asian fusion scene. The décor grabs the attention like a sexy action film with its exotic black lattice work, a wood-slatted ceiling and walnut banquette tables capped with clouds of copper and bronze mesh overhead.

The word “inn” usually brings to mind an inviting place to rest your bones and eat some solid grub. This anachronistic wooden house on one of the Village’s quaintest corners certainly looks the part with its low ceilings, antique flooring, fireplaces and retro-style murals

After launching (and leaving) the popular Chelsea tapas joints Tía Pol and El Quinto Pino, chefs Alex Raij and Eder Montero roar back with Txikito (chee-kee-toe), this time focusing exclusively on Basque cuisine. Txikito’s lumber-lined interior feels intimate and spacious at the same time, owing to the high ceilings and the wide glass rolling garage door at the front.
