"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 rabbit with kumquats and pistachios while you catch up with a friend who still has a physical subscription to The New Yorker. They do both a la carte and a $125 tasting menu, which change nightly but might include things like prawns with tomato and okra, or lamb with nettles and morels. The food is reliably delicious, and the space is about as calm and pleasant as a dinner party in the suburbs." - bryan kim, willa moore
"Under the influence of a boundary-pushing pastry chef, this woman-run kitchen experiments with cross-cultural pastries—think croissants riffed with Jamaican beef-patty flavors and a Wellington filled with curried goat—blurring savory and baked traditions." - Caroline Hatchett
"A restaurant where top-tier pastry work complements a celebrated savory program, with award-recognized pastry chefs producing refined, artful desserts that elevate the dining experience." - Regan Stephens
"A warm, wood-accented spot with a long reclaimed-wood bar and a leafy patio offering thoughtful tasting menus—both omnivorous and vegan—that draw on the chefs’ heritage and travels. The kitchen’s global, upscale approach comes from chefs celebrated by Food & Wine and the James Beard community; when reservations are tight, the more casual nearby café is recommended for a wood-fired half chicken." - Becky Duffett
"A New York restaurant that has retained its Michelin star for a decade under consistent leadership, noted for long-term excellence and a commitment to high-level tasting-menu craft led by a dedicated chef and pastry team." - ByEmily Wilson
