Because I keep getting the question, “What’s a sceney new restaurant where I can take my hip client/my friends from out of town/the model who consented to go out with me,” here’s a short-list of Sceney New Places in NYC. I’m not necessarily ready to vouch for any or all of these, as far as how consistently good they are or aren’t (in cases where I am, I’m linking to the fuller Salmaland writeup). I’m just saying, if you want Sceney and New, or new-ish, circa spring 2010, this is where you want to be…
Btw, right now this list includes Manhattan only (I know, I know). That’s only because the people asking these questions are usually only interested in Manhattan for some reason. Or maybe their out-of-town clients are. Anyway, here goes for now, and more coming soon:
Downtown:
Midtown/Uptown:
Ma Peche (lunch only for now; dinner starts in early May)
