Where I Go Out
Crudo, charcuterie, fish filet with plated vegetables and uni pasta
$, Café, American, Midtown
"Amazing meal at yongkim84. So proud! Congratulations!"
Duff's Famous wings
$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Wings,
"When I last had these, they were just out of the fryer so the edges were still crispy. They were traditionally dressed with the right amount of Frank's RedHot sauce (I go medium) and butter."
Bibim
$$$$, Korean, Full Bar, Tribeca
"The bibim caprese salad at Jungsik is a marvel of textures, temperatures, and tastes that results in a harmonious, complex whole. It is a contemporary, sophisticated take on an Italian classic from an urban, Korean perspective."
Pork & crab soup dumplings
$$$, Chinese, Dim Sum, Upper West Side
"I can’t wait to go back to Red Farm to get my own order of Shanghai soup dumplings. The memory of the ones I had recently still haunts me: the well-structured, thin skin yielding to a burst of rich, deeply satisfying, umami-punched broth, then to the sweet and earthy, fine-textured pork and crab meat. I’ve never had better."
Fried chicken
$$, Southern, American, Bbq, Fried Chicken, Southern / Soul, Williamsburg
"I've been thinking about this Williamsburg-based fried chicken since I had it over a year ago. I had it as take out, so it wasn't even straight out of the fryer. Still, it remains the gold standard. The reasonably-priced fried chicken box comes with a biscuit and a side."
