Upscale American bistro with raw bar, pasta, and great vibes
"This slightly mysterious pop-up dinner series does “site-specific cooking”—maybe on a sidewalk, maybe beside the Brooklyn Bridge. Their Middle Eastern-influenced, hyper-seasonal food is like edible performance art, which might include an outdoor shawarma and pita station. They’ve recently taken up residence in The Hancock, a Victorian mansion in Bed-Stuy, hosting a mix of ticketed dinners and open events. Check their Instagram to see what’s coming up next." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
"Lev @ The Hancock / various dates Lev was once the city’s most elusive (and exclusive) pop-up. But then they threw us a bone, and now you don’t have to solve their riddles three to figure out the date, time, and location—you can just buy a ticket to each event. And you should, because they do "site-specific" cooking that’s usually worth the hype, with a different menu each time—often with a slew of seasonal vegetable and meats prepared right in front of you. Lately, they've been doing dinners at The Hancock, a venue in Bed-Stuy. Check their Instagram for the next meal." - neha talreja
"Start with a sharable raw bar plateau, and move on to heartier Viennese signatures like spaetzle, schnitzel, and goulash at this fashionable West Village white-tablecloth restaurant with famed chef Wolfgang Ban at the helm. For those who prefer lighter fare, try halibut with Tokyo turnips and a clam chive emulsion; or roast chicken with charred broccoli and crispy potatoes." - Eater Staff, Beth Landman
"The nachos at this high-end Mexican restaurant, newly helmed by chef Ivy Stark, are only available at happy hour in the bar area, but at $6 (or $8 with protein), they’re a steal. The substantial tortilla chips get dotted with a refined yet indulgent mix of pinto beans, cheddar sauce, Oaxaca cheese, pickled jalapeños, pico de gallo, crumbled queso blanco, and crema." - Paul Schrodt
"El Toro Blanco focuses on Baja-inspired fish dishes like mahi mahi tacos and a tuna tostada. Like the food, the small, low-lit, stylishly mod space is ideal for a refreshing drink. In addition to a house Paloma made with Espolòn Reposado, the extensive spirits list includes top-notch tequila and mezcal producers from Avion to Del Maguey. The flights are a convenient way to sample the offerings." - Paul Schrodt, Eater Staff
