Spice Market
Chef Jean-Georges can do no wrong! Unlike his multi-Michelin star UES haunt, however, Spice Market takes a far more laid-back approach. Focus is on Southeast Asian street fare, which is served in an eccentric, seemingly hothouse-inspired environment (we're talking copper tones, lots of wood, and even more lanterns). If you're a fan of family-style dining like us, this is the place to escape to: dishes are meant for sharing and are served throughout the duration of the meal. Pass around the Raw Bar Platter, Black Pepper Shrimp with Sun Dried Pineapple, and Chili-Garlic Egg Noodles.
Spice Market, 403 W. 13th Street, New York, 10014
