ABC Cocina

When this Latin-fusion sister restaurant to the famed farm-to-table ABC Kitchen opened in 2013, gourmands agreed that Michelin-star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten had done it again. Like at ABC Kitchen, should you fall in love with the eclectic décor – glass chandeliers, industrial-chic fuchsia chairs – all the furnishings are available for purchase.

Cocktails are spectacular (don't miss the basil jalapeño margarita); certain orders like the spring-pea guacamole are fresh, surprisingly delicate and rightfully deserves the attention it receives. The savory glazed short rib tacos are memorable; the succulent beef tenderloin “burnt ends” with chimichurri sauce are tender and delightful, and from the “golden & crispy” subsection of the menu come satisfying peekytoe crab and corn fritters.
