Instagram Worthy Wonders
A massive, scene-forward dining room where the sushi program shines most when you sit at the counter and treat it like a structured Japanese meal, not a greatest-hits sampler. The experience is built for groups and big nights, with sleek presentation and a menu that rewards keeping your order tight and fish-focused.
Must-Try Dishes:
Assorted nigiri set, Toro-focused sushi course, Uni-forward bites

Cosme
8.3
A contemporary Mexican dining room that plays in the fine-dining lane—bold sauces, refined technique, and a menu designed for sharing across small plates. It shines when you build a meal around signature proteins and tostadas, then finish with one of the dessert staples. Expect a scene-y room and pricing that pushes value down even when the cooking lands.
Must-Try Dishes:
Duck carnitas, Uni tostada, Corn husk meringue

A buzzy, Michelin-recognized Korean fried chicken room built around a shareable chicken-and-sides experience with upscale touches. It’s best when you treat it like a structured fried-chicken dinner—pick your chicken format, add one or two sides for contrast, and don’t over-stack extras.
Must-Try Dishes:
Korean fried chicken (signature service), Caviar-topped nuggets (if available), Seasonal sides (pick one)
What Makes it Special: A Michelin-recognized Korean fried chicken experience designed for sharing.
#5
Clemente Bar
8
An upstairs lounge and tasting counter that treats cocktails like a chef’s table: technical builds, tight pacing, and plant-forward bites that behave like courses. The strongest move is to book the Studio when you want the full counter experience; otherwise, keep it focused in the lounge with a couple of signature drinks and one high-impact snack lane.
Must-Try Dishes:
Agedashi tofu handroll, Maitake mushroom skewer, Clemente Martini
What Makes it Special: A cocktail-and-courses tasting counter above Eleven Madison Park.

Girls Night Out Approved
An upscale-casual Japanese spot that works best when you order like a balanced bar meal: a few pieces of nigiri, one roll for texture, and something warm to round it out. It’s more flexible than a strict sushi counter, making it a reliable option for mixed groups who still want solid fish.
Must-Try Dishes:
Nigiri assortment, Spicy tuna roll, Salmon avocado roll
What Makes it Special: A flexible Japanese menu where sushi fits into a full meal.
#7
Casa Carmen
7.9
A polished, cocktail-forward Mexican room that leans into composed starters and shareable plates in a new-feeling space. The menu reads best when you treat it like a tasting of tostadas and regional small plates rather than a taco-only stop. Come for an upbeat dinner with drinks and a modern vibe.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tostadas de cangrejo, Panuchos yucatecos, Ribeye tacos
What Makes it Special: A modern Mexican dining room where cocktails and tostadas lead.
7.7
A Flatiron-area Latin-leaning spot that works best outdoors with a tequila-forward, shareable-plates rhythm. Keep the order focused—one standout starter, one main to split, and one round of cocktails—so the table stays fun instead of overloaded.
Must-Try Dishes:
Signature taco or starter plate, Shareable main platter, House margarita or tequila cocktail
What Makes it Special: Tequila-and-shareables energy that plays well outdoors.
