"Stissing House comes from Clare de Boer of King the West Village. The food here may seem simple, but it’s nothing short of excellent. It is truly one of our most stood behind recommendations, and we try and go anytime we’re in the area. Always start with a mug of broth (yes, really) and snacks like the gouda, ham, and pickles. On a recent visit, appetizers also included chicories with sunchokes; mains like wood-roasted chicken or lamb sausage. A rye brown sundae for dessert. It has candlelit warmth on all levels — so much so that it makes you wish the 18th-century building was still an inn so you could stay a while longer." - Emma Orlow
