PSARAKI

The Best New Restaurants in NYC: August 2024

"Evoking Cycladic island architecture with white stucco walls and bamboo-thatch ceilings, this new Greek taverna—tucked in the back of 420 Kent—offers one of the city’s better outdoor terraces, especially at sunset, with landscaped separation from the waterfront path and pleasant East River views. The menu spans land and sea and a thoughtful Greek wine list; the Fisherman’s Table Experience ($74 per person) brings a procession of shared plates—tzatziki, tarama, spicy feta, and hummus with pita, zucchini chips, a horiatiki salad, saganaki, spanakopita, fries, and horta—followed by three mains (octopus, branzino, and squid) and finishing baklava and yogurt with sour cherries. Attentive staff frequently check in and offer extra helpings of favored dishes." - Edward Hart
