The 17 Best New Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"At Markette, no one should be allowed to leave the building without trying the braised oxtail (vegetarians can apply for a special permit). The standout order at this Chelsea restaurant is like a shepherd’s pie after a makeover montage, with meat that’s tender to the point of liquid under cheesy, torched polenta. Several dishes—from a chef who draws from her London/Jamaica roots—achieve those familiar-but-unexpected highs. There’s smoky-sweet grilled prawn sprinkled with pumpkin seed chili crisp that hits like savory granola, and a homage to Nando’s peri peri chicken that’s perfectly cooked. For a classy but not overly splurgy evening, it’s a great new option in the area." - Bryan Kim, Molly Fitzpatrick, Willa Moore, Will Hartman, Sonal Shah
