The Hottest New Restaurants in Manhattan, January 2025

"The colorful interiors seem primed for flash photos, making the menu more daring than it needed to be. Here, organ meats and dry-aged fish are two of the lures at this sleek Soho newcomer from restaurateur Ariel Arce and chef Aaron Lirette. Spaghetti comes with blood sausage, and beef tongue is also a Heroes menu feature. Cocktails also take their chances, using memorable ingredients like spiced plum and charred corn, exclusive to Heroes. Upstairs, Pearl Box, sibling cocktail bar with its own interior design scape, is ready for a date." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
