What it’s about: The trendiest crowds have known for a long time about “Her Name Is Han,” a life-changing homestyle Korean food spot in the heart of Korea Town. This time, they're expanding into Japanese cuisine.

The makers of HNIN just opened a new place in NoMad to accommodate their adoring fans who can’t all fit into the original K-Town nook. Head to Yakitori Nonono after work for comforting Japanese eats, like top-notch ramen, dumplings and chicken wings.

Where: 1 Perry St., West Village

What it’s about: We know, we know – there are a million pizza spots in New York. But Rosemary’s is truly one-of-a-kind. It’s farm to table, but not only that -- the farm is also Rosemary’s.

That’s why the pizzas are so fresh and have the creative flexibility to mix sweet and savory flavors – like the Broccoli Rabe Pizza with stracciatella, pine nuts, and pecorino toscano, or the Funghi Pizza with lion's mane and oyster mushrooms, fontina, and apple.


Bistro Pierre Lapin


Where: 99 Bank St., West Village

What it’s about: This adorable spot takes you to the quaint, French countryside with impeccable dishes like veal stew and slow-roasted whole chicken for two.

If you’d like some of the best leg of lamb in New York, you’ll need to call in and request it 24 hours in advance, since their slow cooking methods need all that time to cultivate the perfect flavors for your palette.


Simon & The Whale

Where: 23 Lexington Ave., Murray Hill

What it’s about: Simon and the Whale will just give you a really quality meal with luxurious flavors, but well-balanced to avoid feeling sickly dense.

Pork collar, squid ink garganelli, and green gazpacho with crab will make you feel full and pampered after a long day at work.
