"An unexpected addition to the hubbub that is Bleecker Street, Old Tblisi Garden, which name-checks the capital of Georgia, opened in 2014. There’s a small but picturesque back garden with a waterfall, and walls decorated with modern Georgian paintings. The setting is elegant and the menu expansive, highlighting cheese khinkali, bazhe (chicken with walnut sauce), chakapuli (veal tarragon stew), and megruli kuchmachi (a hash of veal liver, heart, and kidneys served with corn grits)." - Robert Sietsema
