Scarr's Pizza

Solid · Restaurant · Manhattan · $

book ahead

Scarr Pimentel has sold slices on the Chinatown line since 2016, and the Orchard Street move finally gave the room a back you can sit in with a whole pie.

Joe's Pizza

Solid · Restaurant · Manhattan · $

walk-in

Joe Pozzuoli opened this in 1975 and still runs it at 75. Four dollars, a paper plate, and a tip that never droops.

Bar Contra

Solid · Bar · Manhattan · $$$

Seed Librarynew

Ryan Chetiyawardana's first permanent New York bar, in an old club space under the Hotel Park Ave, pouring the Beeswax Old Fashioned he first made years ago and a whisky sour built with miso and koji.

Amor y Amargo

Listed · Bar · Manhattan · $$

walk-in

A bitters tasting room that builds every cocktail out of the shelf behind it. The 8 Amaro Sazerac is the order.

Cello's Pizzeria

walk-in

The chef came off the L'Industrie pass in Williamsburg, and the slice shows it: around $4, light in the hand, charred underneath.

Cecchi's

Listed · Restaurant · Manhattan · $$$

There is no martini on the menu and almost everyone is drinking one. Order it with the onion rings and the steak frites.

886

A big fried chicken sandwich and braised pork over seasoned rice, in a neon room on St. Marks that puts tables in the street when the traffic stops.
