"You know what to expect from Cookshop, and that makes it a good option for people who like to keep curveballs to meals that aren’t portmanteaus. But don’t confuse predictable with boring, as this dog-friendly spot in Chelsea is far from that. They serve excellent vegetables, a perfectly proportioned cheeseburger, and one of the best roast chickens in NYC, which is offered in a huge salad at brunch." - Matt Tervooren
