1. Smithereens

    New England Seafood

    Down a flight of stairs in the East Village, Smithereens channels a New England seafood shack with a downtown edge. Chef Nick Tamburo works the grill—amberjack belly over binchotan, mackerel sharpened with seaweed and ginger—while sommelier Nikita Malhotra's mostly white list mirrors the cooking's brightness. The celery root float alone justifies the descent.
