Rank 2. Kabawa
Caribbean
Caribbean fine dining finally gets its flowers here, and Paul Carmichael makes sure they're worth it. Kabawa runs a prix-fixe tasting menu that takes the flavors of the diaspora seriously without making you feel like you're in a lecture, just a really good meal. The room is dark and elegant, the crowd is dressed up and leaning in, and the cooking carries real weight. Next door, Bar Kabawa keeps things loose if you just want a drink and a patty.

Rank 3. Yamada
Kaiseki Japanese
Michelin-starred kaiseki at an intimate counter where the chef treats seasonality like a personal obsession, not a marketing angle. Each course highlights a different technique, so dinner feels like a lesson you didn't know you needed. The room is spare and serene, with ikebana and a dry garden keeping things grounded. The dozen or so people lucky enough to get a seat are dressed well and very, very quiet.

Rank 4. Superiority Burger
Vegetarian
A Bib Gourmand vegetarian burger counter in the East Village where the food is genuinely good, not just good-for-a-veggie-place. The room draws a mix of neighborhood regulars and curious carnivores who all look a little smug once they taste the quinoa-and-chickpea burger that made this spot famous. No reservations, vintage diner feel, and desserts worth saving room for. Come early or expect a wait.

Rank 8. Salt & Straw
Dessert
-
-
An old-school soda fountain that's been around for years in Carroll Gardens, set inside a beautifully restored former pharmacy with all the vintage fixtures still intact. The sundaes are the move, piled high with house-made toppings that lean into that sweet-salty thing, and the ice cream floats are exactly as nostalgic as they sound. Families, couples, and anyone who just wants a proper sundae fill the booths on weekends.
