Fodor's Choice
Co-owner Missy Flynn and chef Gabe Pryce bring a joyous and playful spirit to Modern American dining to this spot on Soho's gastro-central Lexington Street. Sit at cute raised tables or the red-leather booths and enjoy densely flavored Americana like hearty baby shrimp boil, spicy chicken wings, or corn-crusted turbot with macha pico salsa. The wines are all organic, low intervention, or biodynamic, and you can't go wrong by kicking off dinner with a gorgeous gilda martini.
