"The Noortwyck is one of several thousand downtown spots serving kale salad and fluke crudo, and it’s also one of the best. Bring a few folks who appreciate earth-toned banquettes and wine labels that say “Grand Cru,” then eat some precisely cooked food that’ll remind you why you still bother with seasonal American restaurants. It isn’t hard to get a reservation here, and there are a bunch of tables saved for walk-ins, so keep this place in mind for important dinners you forgot to plan." - Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang
