  12. Rank 12. COQODAQ

    Korean

    Getting a reservation here requires the kind of persistence usually reserved for concert tickets, but this sleek Korean fried chicken spot on 22nd Street is genuinely worth the hustle. The move is the bucket feast, a multi-course spread that somehow manages to feel indulgent and light at the same time. Champagne is practically a food group here, which tells you everything about the crowd filing in dressed like they have somewhere better to be after.

  25. Rank 25. 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.

  55. Rank 55. Echo Lake

    Rum Cocktail Bar

    A rum bar in Williamsburg where the whole point is the daiquiri, and they price it like they actually want you to have one. Echo Lake pairs a serious, wide-ranging rum list with seafood snacks that make sense alongside it, and the crowd looks exactly like Williamsburg on a good night: casually stylish, clearly there on purpose. The basement rum bar downstairs, Undercurrent, is worth seeking out if you want things to get a little more serious.

  58. Rank 58. Kinda Nice

    Cocktail Bar

    A cocktail bar in Williamsburg where the drinks taste like someone raided a diner menu and a dive bar's well in the same evening. The team behind Grand Army built this place around genuinely weird, genuinely good cocktails, the kind where "Greek Salad martini" sounds like a dare until you try it. The crowd is the late-night, pleasantly-unhinged type who will absolutely order another round.
