Best Restaurant Dishes Eater NY Editors Ate This Week, October 27, 2025 | Eater NY

"A friend’s insistence finally got me to try the “14-day dry-aged duck” here, and despite the $145 price and a roughly 45-minute prep, it became one of the best duck dishes I’ve ever had. A stunning whole bird arrived first, dark-skinned and studded with sprigs of lavender, before being carved and set over a generous bed of nori rice with scallion pancakes and pickled baby cauliflower on the side. The skin was snappy and crackling, the lavender balanced by Sichuan peppercorn spice, the meat tender, and the rice deeply flavorful — ideally sized for a group of six, though I would’ve happily taken leftovers." - Stephanie Wu
