"What It Is: An upscale spot in Noho serving Korean and Japanese food Perfect For: Corporate Cards, Lunch We knew we’d end up spending a fair amount of money at The Bari before we even looked at the menu. A big restaurant in Noho next to The Public Theater that looks like the business-class dining room on an interstellar spaceship can’t be cheap. But the Korean and Japanese dishes, like bone marrow with kimchi and uni bibimbap, seemed exciting enough to give this place a try. While we enjoyed some things (the milk bread crusted pork rib), most of the food was pretty bland. The Verdict: If you’re going to spend this kind of money, there are other spots we’d recommend nearby instead." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
