Cosme

"Known for its high-end tasting menu featuring late-season citrus and Mexican-inspired dishes." - Melissa McCart

"A notable restaurant in New York City, recognized on the back half of the World's Best list." - Bettina Makalintal

"A world-renowned NYC restaurant that was Masienda’s first customer, building their menu around homemade masa from Mexican heirloom corn." - Emily Venezky

"On Christmas Eve, Cosme and Chef Enrique Olvera will serve two deliciously festive Mexican classics. Available one night only, guests can expect a classic bacalao with house-made sourdough (Salted cod prepared Veracruzana style, featuring a blend of tomatoes, capers, olives, peppers, and potatoes) and buñuelos con miel y chocolate (Sweet and flaky bueñuelos drizzled with piloncillo syrup and paired with a rich chocolate sauce)." - Kevin Chau

"Filled with jet black accents and dim spotlights above each table, this upscale Flatiron restaurant works best for special occasions. Cosme serves things like a tlayuda covered in mushrooms, and a plate of lobster prepared al pastor-style. If you get just one thing, make it the duck carnitas, a massive, juicy roast duck paired with warm tortillas. Share this feast with a few friends the next time you earn a degree, have a birthday, or decide to spend the rest of your life with someone. For a more casual occasion, check out Atla, their all-day cafe in Noho, where you can eat the best chicken soup of your life during the day, and drink margaritas at night." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
