"Inside Greenpoint’s 50 Norman—a high-end Japanese marketplace with $700 knives and brutalist-chic cement floors—Cafe O’Te does just one thing: hamburg steaks, made with a blend of half Japanese and half American wagyu. But they do this one thing very, very well. Seared in a cast-iron skillet to develop a substantial crust, the buttery hamburg is served alone for $25, with your choice of rich demi-glace with a tomato tang, or the more subtle grated daikon with ponzu. But go for the $35 set, which includes several sides, a delicate onion soup, and rice, all in precious little ceramics. It’s a light meal, so you should still have room for the luscious Japanese custard pudding and a little window-shopping after." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, willa moore, sonal shah, willa moore
