Calexico

Mexican restaurant · Upper East Side

"While the debate over whether to use melted cheese or cheese sauce on nachos rages on, Calexico proves that there’s no reason to choose. The California-style Mexican restaurant submerges its chips in both dairy products and completes them with guacamole, roasted corn, black beans, pico de gallo, jalapeños, and sour cream. There are additional locations in Brooklyn, plus a food truck in Soho." - Paul Schrodt

Kono

Yakitori restaurant · Chinatown

"After nearly two decades of honing his skills in Japan and New York City, chef Atsushi “ATS” Kono presents the craft of Japanese yakitori at his namesake restaurant, KONO. KONO's discreet locale within Chinatown's Canal Arcade echoes the hidden streets and alleyways of Tokyo – inside, guests will be treated to a special evening of smoke and fire as they watch chef Kono prepare a multi-course, kappo-style yakitori omakase rooted in tradition and seasonality. Guests can expect to enjoy various cuts (and specialty cuts) of organic Amish chicken grilled over Binchotan hardwood charcoal."
