The Best New Restaurants in New York City of 2025 (So Far) | Condé Nast Traveler

"I watched a pop-up-turned-shoebox in Chinatown become a nightly-packed destination: Ha's Snack Bar (born from Ha's Đặc Biệt) runs an unabashedly bold menu of seafood, offal, and French-leaning riffs—think escargot with tamarind, head cheese, even calf’s brain with creamy eggs—but the standout for me was the chicken liver pâté with fried bread and vinegary, spicy peppers; I also enjoyed a steamed skate. Portions are small and the space is tiny, so if you don’t have a reservation be prepared to line up about 30 minutes before opening." - Charlie Hobbs
