"Murray’s feels like an homage to old-school New York taverns, which makes a great plate of fish and chips a natural prerequisite. The fries are crispy—but not as thickly cut as other spots—and the fish arrives in one massive, attractive slab that spans the entire plate. You’ll have to use your imagination for the customary side of peas, but it’s still a plate that does the tavern tradition justice." - nicolai mccrary
