"On top of the Hoxton Hotel in Williamsburg, Laser Wolf has a panoramic view of Manhattan that'll make you swear you’ll never leave for any godforsaken town without a skyline like this one. Modeled after the Israeli skewer houses known as shipudiya, this Philly import serves meat and vegetables cooked over an open fire and, famously, a glorious wreath of shareable salatim. The fun, highly spirited food is worth the hassle of getting a reservation, but where they’ve chosen to serve that food makes this place an NYC staple." - neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
