11 New Black-Owned Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Metropolis is an event. The FiDi restaurant from Marcus Samuelsson is located near the World Trade Center, on the first floor of a new half-billion-dollar performing arts center covered entirely in Portuguese marble. To get here, you have to walk up a grand flight of stairs and pass through a metal detector, at which point you’ll find yourself in a sprawling room with Tron-like light fixtures darting across the ceiling. It’s a flashy place, with an equally flashy menu that tackles everything from smoked hamachi tacos to a whole dover sole with ssamjang. Not every dish is a home run, but everything is, at the very least, memorably ambitious." - neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore
