SoHo · $$$ · American restaurant
This SoHo institution is a playground for adventurous eaters—think crispy calf's liver, raw preparations, and an impressive list of oysters. The dining room has that perfect mix of energetic and intimate, with exposed brick and moody lighting that sets an exciting tone for the evening.
~13 min walk (0.6 mi). After dinner, head east from Sullivan Street toward the Nolita/Lower East Side border—Jade & Clover is worth the brief walk for its stellar cocktails and lower crowd energy.
