"Welcome to the Scandinavian seafood show in Williamsburg. Aska first opened in 2012, when every upscale NYC restaurant wanted to be the next Noma. Despite the foraged lichens and all-black decor though, there’s nothing uptight or somber about it. Sit back, relax, and watch some live scallops from Cape Cod wriggle under a pour of a tart, clear broth. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman
