"Playita is a tiny seafood-focused spot for tacos and mariscos on the Lower East Side, but they also make a stellar duck carnitas. There's a small side counter with enough space for two people to stand if you want to use this as an extremely low-key and satisfying spot to meet up with someone you met on an app, or for a quick and not-boring solo lunch. We love the pescadilla, a crunchy food-lover's dream of a hard shell taco stuffed with fish and slaw." - Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Willa Moore
