Best Dishes Eater NY Editors Ate This Week: October 7 | Eater NY

"The menu at the Portrait Bar in the Fifth Avenue Hotel is deceptive: what’s listed as “parlor snacks” can feel like substantive appetizer- or entree-sized retro American classics upscaled for the moment and location. Prepared in the same kitchen as Andrew Carmellini’s namesake restaurant, highlights include a terrific hot dog au poivre on brioche ($20), a dry-aged burger draped in clothbound cheddar, fries with a malt-vinegar aioli, shrimp cocktail, and crispy oysters with a celery root remoulade. My most satisfying bite was the French onion dip garnished with salmon roe and crispy onion bits ($18), served with homemade chips; paired with a super-savory martini it makes an ideal bar snack." - Eater Staff
