"Located in one of Chelsea’s quieter sections surrounded by distinguished older buildings, Cookshop was founded with a farm-to-table ethos in 2005 and has gradually grown to be a favorite spot for a tumultuous brunch or a quiet dinner. Vegetables are emphasized — even in its inventive pizzas — and there’s a substantial commitment to seafood, while many appetizers and entrees are prepared in a wood-fired oven." - Robert Sietsema
