The Top 100 Restaurants Near Baker's Dozen

  1. A lively Greenpoint room where casual surfaces hide serious ambition: tacos arrive loaded with chanterelle or the day's catch, but the kitchen roams Mexico's regions with equal conviction, from tropical hamachi agua chile to smoky tlayuda to brined and smoked chicken. Vibrant, balanced, never showy.

  91. Andrew Carmellini's fine-dining return occupies the Fifth Avenue Hotel with sapphire velvet booths and an open kitchen turning out Mediterranean-leaning dishes. A crab mille-feuille of delicate wafers and sweet meat in Meyer lemon sauce, or scallops in coconut-turmeric broth, suggest a chef working in layers of restraint and indulgence at once.

  92. At Sunn's, Chef Sunny Lee elevates banchan from supporting cast to main event, producing six daily small plates that bend Korean tradition toward France and Italy in a kitchen barely larger than a closet. Crushed olives tangle with eggplant namul; hot mustard stands in for Dijon—stubbornly original gestures in a room that refuses to apologize for its ambitions.

  94. A buzzy Korean fried chicken den where reservations vanish fast, rewarded with a theatrical bucket feast that unfolds through crisp rounds and finishes with frozen yogurt. The gluten-free bird stays clean and light despite its indulgent choreography, paired with an ambitious champagne list.

  95. Rank 95. Che Li

    Shanghainese Chinese

    The narrow dining room at Che Li glows with red lanterns and imperial detail, perpetually crowded with diners working through a Shanghainese menu of chicken in Shaoxing wine and stir-fried rice cakes. The house fish stew—a Sichuan-inflected departure—arrives as a bracing, peppercorn-laden argument for asking your server what's worth eating.

  96. Dark paneled rooms and bow-tied waiters define this 1905 steakhouse where the mutton chop and porterhouse arrive with the weight of old New York still clinging to them. The wedge salad alone—blue cheese funk meeting fresh crunch and lardons—suggests a kitchen that understands restraint and satisfaction in equal measure.

  97. At Ha's, a sliver of a room on Broome Street where stools outnumber tables, the menu pivots nightly between French toast and Vietnamese gestures, untethered to anything but appetite. The eggs mayo—spiked with Maggi, studded with trout roe—suggests the kitchen knows something about restraint and flavor that most restaurants have forgotten.

  99. Rank 99. Una Pizza Napoletana

    Neapolitan Pizza

    Anthony Mangieri tends his wood-burning oven with monastic focus, yielding pies whose charred, papery crusts justify the reservation scramble. Nothing else matters here—no appetizers, no elaborate toppings, just Neapolitan geometry and restraint.
