Set inside Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall, the space pairs a vibrant, elevated atmosphere with a menu that keeps its creative flavors uncomplicated. Outside, patio reservations offer direct views of the plaza. The kitchen focuses on sharp, textured touches, like fried okra drizzled in hot honey and al dente egusi tortellini. The drink list is equally inventive, featuring gin cocktails and tequila jellies. Just plan well in advance, as table reservations are almost impossible to get.
