"Musket Room feels like Hudson Valley fan fiction. It’s a cozy spot with Edison bulbs and weathered wood floors, and it’s the perfect place to eat roast chicken while you catch up with a friend who still has a physical subscription to The New Yorker. That roast chicken—served over a few slices of toast that soak up all the juices—is fantastic, and you can also get things like creamy jamón croquettes and salmon with daikon and dashi butter. The food is reliably delicious, and the space is about as calm and pleasant as a dinner party in the suburbs." - bryan kim
