"If you’re currently in a fight with New York City and would like a quiet break from the crowded subway platforms and tourists who think it’s OK to not jaywalk, head to Okonomi. This Williamsburg restaurant has been around since 2014, and there’s still nothing else like it. The 12-seat space, with its open kitchen and piles of handmade ceramics, feels homey and serene, and the Japanese set breakfast (the only thing on the menu) is simple and perfect. It comes with a piece of roasted fish, a bowl of rice, miso soup, a few pickled vegetables, and a sweet, creamy cube of omelet. Add uni if you’re feeling fancy, and be sure to make a reservation." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, kenny yang
