"Named one of Eater’s best new restaurants in 2019, Marrow has been a crucial source for everything from local meats and cheeses to flour and beer and wine. The West Village butcher shop and restaurant features a five-course tasting menu to give diners a little taste of everything, as well as a la carte options like roasted bone marrow, local maitake, crayfish dumplings, ricotta gnocchi, or the baklava doughnut, which resembles a beignet with its airy, crispy layers of honey and candied nuts. The kitchen is helmed by chef Sarah Welch, who, on top of running a restaurant, has been a contestant on two seasons of Top Chef. For a more elaborate affair, be sure to look into Marrow’s five-course chef’s tasting dinner for $90. Marrow is also expanding its footprint, with plans to open an ambitious space in Eastern Market and, in late 2024 the crew launched a casual outpost in Birmingham. Reservations are available on Resy. Vibe check: In 2024, Marrow added a lunch menu, available 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, making it one of a small number of fine dining establishments in the city to offer daytime service." - Serena Maria Daniels
