"Musket Room feels like Hudson Valley fan fiction. It’s a cozy spot with Edison bulbs and weathered wood floors, and it’s the perfect place to eat rabbit with kumquats and pistachios while you catch up with a friend who still has a physical subscription to The New Yorker. They do both a la carte and a $125 tasting menu, which change nightly but might include things like prawns with tomato and okra, or lamb with nettles and morels. The food is reliably delicious, and the space is about as calm and pleasant as a dinner party in the suburbs." - bryan kim, willa moore
