"Kensington’s Laser Wolf isn’t just one of our favorites for a Mediterranean feast—it’s one of the top restaurants in the neighborhood, period. The laidback Israeli grill is great for groups, date night, or eating by yourself at the bar, thanks to the all-you-can-eat salatim, and other shareables, like chicken skewers and juicy tuna covered in a green chili sauce. Bottom line—everything they put to the flame here is exceptional. The bill can stack up, so you’ll want to be strategic about when you come for a celebratory, pineapple rum-heavy meal (especially since there’s nothing on the menu you’ll say no to). Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"On top of the Hoxton Hotel in Williamsburg, Laser Wolf has a panoramic view of Manhattan that'll make you swear you’ll never leave for any godforsaken town without a skyline like this one. Modeled after the Israeli skewer houses known as shipudiya, this Philly import serves meat and vegetables cooked over an open fire and, famously, a glorious wreath of shareable salatim. The fun, highly spirited food is worth the hassle of getting a reservation, but the location is what makes this place an NYC staple." - neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
