"We’d hike the Crosstown Trail—and endure the resulting blisters—to get our hands on the duck from The Progress. The smoky slices and peanut fried rice are last-meal-in-the-city worthy. The seasonal restaurant is right next to their sister spot, State Bird Provisions, with more space and a fancier vibe. Their high-ceilinged, airy dining room with teak wood detailing feels like a coastal getaway, ideal for digging into a spread of porcini toasts, anchovy sambal clams, and caviar potato clouds." - julia chen 1
