"Tatiana is the best restaurant in New York City, and it comes from Kwame Onwuachi. You might know of him from his DC restaurants or his run on Top Chef, but he’s also the guy who single-handedly made Lincoln Center cool again. Tatiana, located inside David Geffen Hall (the one with the Philharmonic) feels like a quiet nightclub and serves food that blends Afro-Caribbean flavors with iconic New York dishes. Think: egusi dumplings and curried goat patties, and wagyu pastrami suya—a must order. Reservations are released four weeks in advance at 12pm. If you can't snag one of those, try the six-seat bar. When we arrived on a Tuesday at 4:45pm, the line was already 10-people deep, and our four-person party was seated at 5:40pm. Get a drink in the lobby of David Geffen Hall while you wait." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, will hartman
