Momofuku Noodle Bar: Absolutely delicious, as long as you have no qualms spending $30 on a bowl of ramen and a pair of pork buns.
Hundred Acres: "pastured-raised" beef burgers and chopped liver with cranberry and cornichons are hoe-the-fields-in-$800-wellingtons farm fresh, methinks.
The Oak Room: Pre-prohibition decor with cocktails at pre-recession prices.
Congee Village: it's much less grueling if you skip the congee and have the snow pea shoots and soy sauce noodles instead.
Seoul Station: Nothing good ever comes in a tub, not even bimimbap to-go.
Yerba Buena: Unlimited Purple Pisco Sours at brunch can make a man question a lot of things about himself.
Apiary: Average eats, nice seats.
Porchetta: Almost the entirety of this storefront is given over to slow-roasted pork shoulders the size of medicine balls--what's not to like?
Double Crown: If the food doesn't work out, they can always use the pulley system from the vintage fans for a conveyor belt sushi restaurant.
Allen & Delancey: Overpriced; underwhelming.
