• • • Hanamizuki

    • Japanese
    • At this Japanese cafe, the rice balls (onigiri or omusubi in Japanese) are slightly offbeat, as if sprung from a Haruki Murakami novel. The menu is designed mostly for snacking.

• • • Fitzcarraldo

      New York Times Critics' Pick
    • Italian
    • A kind of magical loneliness possesses Fitzcarraldo, which occupies a corner of a 30,000-square-foot former warehouse in the East Williamsburg In-Place Industrial Park. The food is Italian, mostly Ligurian, and lovely, with one of the best renditions of cacio e pepe in town.

• • • Marta

      New York Times Critics' Pick ★★ 0 4
    • Italian, Pizza
    • Pizza, a lesser stop on Rome’s culinary pilgrimage route, is the main event of this pizzeria, opened by the chef Nick Anderer. Marta has Roman appetizers and entire Roman dishes repurposed as toppings for pizzas with thin crusts in the Roman style. Main courses are available, but they are not as trustworthy as the pies.

• • • Bar Bolonat

      New York Times Critics' Pick ★★ 0 4
    • Middle Eastern
    • The white napkins, polished stemware, sheer curtains and understated modern furniture at Bar Bolonat are all a determined bid for the kinds of diners who would steer clear of anything resembling a hummus hut. Energetic seasoning drives the cuisine, and can be seen in dishes like shrimp in a Yemenite curry, with a fiery shot of green zhug and a small round of fried bread called malawa to soak up the spicy, turmeric-gold coconut milk.

      New York Times Critics' Pick
    • Mexican
    • Denisse Lina Chavez, the chef and owner of Carnitas El Atoradero, cooked carnitas in her bodega next door to growing crowds. Now, with a proper kitchen, she makes daily specials with traditional herbs and spices shipped by her sister from Mexico.

      New York Times Critics' Pick ★ 0 4
    • Chinese
    • Sturdy, knobby, domestic creatures in the Northern Chinese tradition, Helen You's dumplings are stuffed to order, and she fine-tunes them with the sensitivity of a natural cook who really listens to her ingredients. At Dumpling Galaxy, she offers 100 varieties, along with an additional menu of dishes from Hunan, Dongbei and Fujian.

      New York Times Critics' Pick
    • American
    • At this food truck parked behind a Walgreen’s in Mill Basin, a neighborhood in southernmost Brooklyn, the meat is fresh ground chuck, not some proprietary blend of dry-aged Black Angus cuts. For non-locals, the journey here — by subway, then bus — is long, and worth it.

• • • Tuome

      New York Times Critics' Pick ★★ 0 4
    • American, Contemporary
    • You have probably eaten in dozens of rooms like Tuome in the past few years, and eaten dishes that look like the ones that the chef, Thomas Chen, is sending from the kitchen. Once the meal begins, though, it becomes clear that Mr. Chen has originality to spare and a clear, fresh point of view, particularly when he interprets Chinese cuisine.

      New York Times Critics' Pick ★★★ 0 4
    • American
    • The chef Dan Barber is a dirt poet and kitchen philosopher whose time with the pigs and the beans has had a deep, lasting effect on the way he cooks; New York City does not afford the time or space for the leisurely unfurling of Mr. Barber’s complete vision, but Blue Hill is still an exceptional restaurant.
