New American
Sam Lawrence's New American restaurant sits in Chinatown with amber lighting warm enough to make you forget how cold it is outside. The menu is spare on words and refuses to be pinned to a single tradition, which sounds like a hedge but plays out as confidence. Michelin has given it a star. The room has bistro ease, the kitchen has genuine ambition, and somehow that combination holds.
