Williamsburg, Brooklyn ยท restaurant
Two Michelin stars and only around 30 seats, with a Nordic tasting menu built around foraged Northeastern ingredients and an open kitchen that turns each course into a small seasonal thought experiment. Birch wood ice cream with mushrooms is the kind of dish that initially sounds implausible and then completely recalibrates your expectations once it lands. Reservations vanish weeks ahead, and dinner unfolds at the kind of pace that asks you to surrender the entire evening to it.
