The Cool List: 17 Restaurants That Aren’t “Hot” But Are Definitely Still Cool

"We’ve reviewed Wildair several times since it first opened - and it’s only gotten better. Plus, it takes reservations now, so if you’ve been sitting at home every Friday night for the past several years wondering why people like this place so much, you no longer have an excuse for trying to get in. Bring a friend, and share the fried squid, scallop crudo, and pork milanese. By the way, you aren’t taking full advantage of this place if you don’t have some wine in a glass in front of you." - bryan kim, hillary reinsberg
