Locust

"Trevor Moran’s thoughtful food and artful presentation earned him a loyal following when he was behind the U-shaped counter at The Catbird Seat. Locust is his passion project, a dumpling and kakigori (that’s Japanese-style shaved ice) shop, with limited options each day and the focused approach that has become his signature. The vibe inside the dreamy, minimalist space is buzzy, and you’ll feel like you are somewhere everyone wants to be. Locust has just a handful of tables. Reservations open once a month and the restaurant typically sells out for both lunch and dinner within minutes (if not seconds). It’s worth having an alarm set to snag a spot. You won’t regret the time investment." - Margaret Littman
