Each month, HuffPost NYC joins TastingTable.com's New York editor, Tressa Eaton, to highlight our five favorite finds from the city's amazing culinary scene. Here's what caught our eye in February:
Jack's Wife Freda: This new Nolita hotspot exemplifies everything we love best about New York café culture. At once effortlessly homey and stylish, it’s the perfect place to stop for a cup of Stumptown in the morning or a delicious fried-onion topped burger at night.
The Wayland: A triad of skillful cocktails, food and music await those who make the walk over to The Wayland, located on Avenue C in the East Village. Case in point, the Braised Beast short ribs: Silky with red wine, tomato paste and homemade sour-cherry jam, the ribs pair nicely with a Sour Cherry Flip.
Caputo's Fine Foods: Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens is famous for its Italian-American population. We’ve found an old-school shop that does cannoli right, filling each fried shell to order with dense ricotta studded with chocolate chips and sweet notes of cinnamon and vanilla.
Talde: Spicy and flavorful Sriracha is a necessity on our home tables. Chef Dale Talde agrees. At his new Park Slope restaurant, Talde, he uses a simple trick--dehydrating Sriracha for an extra flavor-punch when mixed with ranch dressing. We tried it on everything from lettuce to Korean fried chicken.
ABV Wine Bar: Looking for inventive and interesting eats and drinks on the Upper East Side can be a chore. ABV Wine Bar fills the void with a great selection of wine-on-tap and fun food to match. We’re fond of the fried smelt, steak tartare pizza and the pocket burger.
