The Best New Restaurants in NYC

"Housed in a very glassy, huge space at the bottom of the 1 Hotel, Jonathan Waxman’s new iteration is an ideal spot for parents—whether they’re visiting adult children or feeding toddlers—with a comfortable room, a “pasta bambini” on the menu, and Brooklyn Bridge Park right outside if a kid needs to walk off a meltdown. Waxman’s classics have been ported over well enough: pollo al forno remains the city’s most agreeable roast chicken, and the waterfront setting brings a few seafood additions such as pizza al mare, a garlicky clam pie topped with Maine lobster and shrimp." - Grub Street
