The Best Tomato Dishes In NYC Right Now

"Heirloom Tomato With Blackberry Vinaigrette & Feta This pop-up project is currently serving their produce-forward, Middle Eastern dishes out of the kitchen at Peoples Wine Bar on the Lower East Side. One of the standouts from a recent dinner (among dishes like burrata with grated tomato and Yemeni shug, and a red snapper poached in a luscious vat of Egyptian molokhia) was a cold starter with three different kinds of heirloom tomatoes served with crumbly feta and a light blackberry vinaigrette. You can’t go three bites without running into a sweet, popping husk cherry, and the whole plate looks like a painter’s palette or an abstract traffic light. Eat this if you like the idea of the taste of summer on a sunny porch." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, carlo mantuano
