1. Edi and the wolf
It's new and it is far walk to the restaurant from Sub (it's in ave C... yes, definitely, get a cab!) though, it was worthwhile to try. The small dishes were great, every single bite was so fulfilling, so the slow service was forgiven. Cozy oak-ish ambiance is also plus.

2. Aria wine bar
Interesting selections of wines, cheese & tapas menu. You will drink wine out of whiskey glass but still it's not bad at all. You will still spot many other gorgeous ppl enjoying their feast.

3. Fish Tag
Crazy course, menu, drink lists... I don't know how the kitchen can manage the complicate selections... the food is good although I wasn't impressed as the other critics. Note that it is a bit pricey.
