The Cool List: 17 Restaurants That Aren’t “Hot” But Are Definitely Still Cool

"The Obamas had dinner at Estela in September of 2014, meaning this is the rare restaurant that was definitely discussed on MSNBC at some point. Since then, the place has cooled off a little bit, and it’s easy to make a reservation about a week in advance - which is something you should do. The small plates like the ricotta dumplings and lamb ribs with honey are still exceptional, and the narrow space hidden up a set of stairs on Houston Street is perfect for date night." - bryan kim, hillary reinsberg
