The Best New Restaurants in NYC

"Chef Maycoll Calderón’s takeover of the restaurant inside the Standard, East Village, delivers a coastal-Mexican, seafood-heavy menu where a yellowfin-tuna tostada is a standout; I also liked a $9 beef taco on a flour tortilla topped with a crisp layer of Chihuahua cheese cradling grilled slices of Wagyu. The dining room is shut off from the street except for an internal plaza, which makes you forget you’re steps from NYU, and a mezcal horchata only heightens that sense of distance." - Grub Street
