Alessandro Borgognone watched “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” before bed and became determined to bring the film’s young appren- tice, Daisuke Nakazawa, to New York. It shouldn’t have worked, but it did. A meal at Mr. Nakazawa’s counter is a guided tour of the potential of simple seafood on rice to amaze. With subtle fine-tunings of temperature and seasoning, (...) 23 Commerce Street (Bedford Street) West Village, 212-924-2212 READ MORE | WEBSITE Uncle Boons Opened in the middle of a trend toward restaurants exploring recipes from Thai- land’s north and northeast, Uncle Boons skips all over the country and takes respectful liberties. The result could have been superficial, but it’s nuanced and smart. The chefs, Ann Redding and Matt Danzer, offer carefully considered breaks with Thai tradition. In their hands, shredded po- tato and melting beef cheek taste right at home in a musky, complex massaman curry, and sweetbreads are a natural fit for a rounded, rich bowl (...) 7 Spring Street (Elizabeth Street) NoLIta, 646-370-6650 READ MORE | WEBSITE 5 top restaurants7 in new yoek city Hanjan For traditional Korean food, the place to go is the far eastern reaches of Flushing, Queens. But for delicious modern interpretations of the cuisine, nothing comes close to Hooni Kim’s two packed, casual pubs. As he did at Danji, Mr. Kim split Hanjan’s small-plates menu into traditional dishes and contem- porary ones, but his flavors feel so true that you can’t always tell which is which. He turns pajeon, the flat and starchy Korean pancake, into a crunchy cloud of squid and scallion, and while the texture is completely different, (...) 36 West 26th Street Midtown South, 212-206-7226 READ MORE | WEBSITE Mighty Quinn's Barbeque If you are unlucky enough to get into an argument with some Texans over whether decent barbecue exists in New York, sit them in front of Mighty Quinn’s smoked beef rib, a wall of meat riding on a long surfboard of bone. It may not change their minds, but the sheer mass may move them to temporary silence. That will give you time to admit that the rib and the brisket at Mighty Quinn’s(...) 103 Second Avenue (Sixth Street) East Village, 212-677-3733 READ MORE | WEBSITE Pearl & Ash The wine list, with aged magnums of vintage Champagne and nine pages of Bur- gundies, reads like uptown. Yet you’re on the Bowery, and the wine director straddling the bench next to you while he runs through the pinot noirs of Clos Saron is wearing a Black Flag T-shirt. Pearl & Ash kicks down the walls that snobs have built around wine and lets the rest of us walk in. The list, whose markup philosophy might be summed up as “don’t be evil,” is as approachable as the menu. You can treat Pearl & Ash as a restaurant or a wine bar, (...) 220 Bowery (Prince Street) NoLIta, 212-837-2370 READ MORE | WEBSITE 5 top restaurants8 in new yoek city ADVERTISE E-MAIL US TO KNOW HOW 9 5 top shops in new york 5 top shops10 in new york city Nicholas Kirkwood Nicholas Kirkwood’s Meatpacking boutique, which comes complete with an outdoor garden and plenty of heels that run upwards of $1,000, is the designer’s first in the U.S. The merchandise includes Kirkwood’s seasonal col- lections of architectural heels with laser-cut details, as well as the brand’s frequent collaborations.
