"When you can make a same-day reservation on a Saturday somewhere, it usually isn’t the best sign. But we’ve done this at Clay, and Clay is a legitimately great restaurant. It’s an upscale spot in Harlem that isn’t too formal, with a menu of things like pork belly, confit duck leg, and a short rib bucatini worth a long subway ride. Bring a date, and stop by Wednesday through Saturday, so you can eat in the downstairs dining room." - bryan kim, chris stang
