NEW YORK

In this city, eating is done with the energy and enthusiasm of an Olympic athlete, and restaurateurs are as fiercely competitive as Lindsey Vonn is on the slopes. For a town chockfull of foodies, that is clearly great news. And if barbecue is one of your go-tos, that’s even greater news, since this month we created a borough-by-borough guide to the city’s best. A spa break should always be an option for a traveler on the go: In the May Insider, we point to a couple of spas around town with express treatments, making it a breeze to get a facial in between Top of the Rock and a walk on The High Line. We also show you around Delancey Street on the Lower East Side, the kid and hipsterfriendly neighborhood of DUMBO, Brooklyn, and point you to the not-to-miss events of the month, which include Fleet Week (hello, sailors!), and the Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit.

FIND THE BEST IN THE LOWER EAST SIDE / FARAH LOPEZ

The eclectic Lower East Side is where gritty alleys and tenement buildings mix with trendy restaurants and bars, upscale apartments and chic boutiques. Though diverse cuisines continue to bloom, the neighborhood's Jewish heritage lives on through traditional delis, such as Russ & Daughters.

There's no getting around it—the LES is a major nightlife destination. In this part of the city, last call is late and often negotiable. On weekends, the neighborhood is packed as crowds overflow from local bars and take to the streets in search of latenight snacks before heading on to the next party.

 Clancey

 Russ & Daughters

The narrow streets of the LES were once lined with shirt factories and bialy shops. Now, the LES exudes an uncanny charm with its urban and modern fashion boutiques alongside well-populated, gourmet street markets.

Rusty fire escapes and eye-catching street art only add to the artful appeal.

 Claw and Company 101 Delancey St., 212.995.2440

 The Back Room  Nitecap

 Nurse Bettie

The LES is an genuine New York City neighborhood.

There is nothing polished about it, and its chaotic energy appeals to those who love comtemporary art, or have a deep appreciation for the rich immigrant history that is preserved in the museums and galleries as well as a bakery that has been around since before World War II.

Succulent brontosaurus rib is the calling card, but save room for the renowned bread pudding.

This otherwise walk-in-only NYC BBQ kingpin accepts reservations at its West Village locale, and is open on game days outside Section 132 at Yankee Stadium.

 Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

Pork-Sket sandwich: BBQ brisket layered with cheddar, jalapeños, pulled pork and crispy coleslaw.

Don't underestimate the house-smoked salmon fritters, stuffed with red peppers, corn, chives and Creole mustard. Also, get a side of BBQ rice with mixed meats.

Traditional BBQ and other Korean dishes served in a casual space with in-table grills.

Jongro is the most popular and mobbed BBQ joint in K-town so come early (5 pm).

It’s popular with millennials hungry for affordable meals with big portions.

This spot is a bit pricey, but offers high-quality meats and carefully curated banchan (Korean sides).

There's "no DIY" here; servers grill all meat selections on table grills. Each table has a smoke vacuum to keep the air clear. Diners rave about the beef combo.

This upscale spot is a cross between Korean BBQ and a steak house with a 600-plus wine list.

Diners rave about the bucher's feast for two and ultra-luxe side dishes like kimchi-wagyu paella. Reservations are highly encouraged.

 The Strand 22-27 Broadway,

Prized short and baby back ribs; elaborate whiskey selection; kitchen open ‘til late (or sold out) nightly.

Affordable New York deli-style barbecue with fall-off-the-bone ribs and Southern-style sides.

This small unassuming BBQ joint is a short Uber from the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden. Diners rave about the jerk wings and collard greens.

Johnson’s BBQ is a black-owned business established in 1954. Best known for pork spareribs, chicken sandwiches and a house-made mustard BBQ sauce.

This Texas-style chain is known for sticky wings and a house-made Hennessy cognac sauce.

The menu extends from beef ribs and steak to grilled chicken and seafood, but customers love the colorful frozen cocktail concoctions.

Carolina-style ’cue: Pitmaster/owner Tyson smokes an entire pig for almost 24 hours.

First-timers, keep your eyes peeled for what looks like an old garage with chainlink fences. Regulars swear by the mac ’n’ cheese waffles.

 Fette Sau 354 Metropolitan Ave., 718.963.3404

One part Central Texas, other part New York delistyle BBQ, with beer servings as large as a gallon.

Forget about plates: House-cured meats, served by the pound, come on butcher paper. Beers arrive in different-sized jugs and growlers.

 Morgan’s Barbecue 267 Flatbush Ave., 718.622.2224

Little Gems

AMONG THE 45,000 or so bars and restaurants peppered around New York City, it seems as if finding the perfect tiny spot for a date, closing a business deal or celebrating a special occasion is harder than it should be.

You don’t want another run-of-the-mill trattoria, nor shoulder-to-shoulder dining at a soulless brunch joint. Most after-work bars involve jostling through noisy clusters of tired folks, and neighborhood restaurants are often sterile and over-lit. It takes hard work to design a true gem of a tiny establishment.

At Decoy—already a NYC institution at just 5 years old—conviviality is on the menu, surrounded by subdued lighting and rustic decor. Tucked beneath sister restaurant RedFarm, the 22-seater is rightfully famous for its succulent, crispy Peking Duck, served alongside inventive appetizers like sweet potato noodles topped with uni (sea urchin) or shrimp-stuffed shishito peppers presented on teardrop-shaped plates. “Dining at Decoy is a fun experience,” says Operating Partner Ed Schoenfeld. “Our guests often start talking with their neighbors.”

To access Le Boudoir, you enter via a secret bookshelf panel inside the street-level French bistro Chez Moi. Your host takes you down stairs and through hallways until you reach the Versailles-inspired bar. Here, mirrors, velvet and gold-leaf decoration, along with weekly live music, whisk you to a forgotten, romantic era. “It’s a very comfortable, enveloping jewel box of a space, where you can hide from the outside world,” says Bar Director Franky Marshall. Sip from silver coupes and crystal goblets while snacking on frog’s legs and foie gras. A wide range of cocktail styles ensure everyone at the table will find something they like, be it sweet, savory and light or heavy on the alcohol.

Unusual glassware is only part of the sustainable puzzle at TriBeCa’s Graffiti Earth, where Chef Jehangir Mehta presents earthfriendly international cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of a rustic French château. “One of our goals was to ensure we took sustainability to the greatest extent we could,” says Mehta. “All of our cutlery and plates are hand-me-downs, extending the life of the product. Our napkins are smaller, requiring less water to clean, and stitched

from reclaimed cloth. We exhibit art for sale, where 90 percent of the proceeds go to charity.” The food—a modern pastiche of global influences like garlic coconut soup and vegetable dumpling chaat—is responsibly prepared. Where resource-intensive beef is used, for example, Mehta says he tries to use less of it in a dish, enhancing it with mushrooms and other water-friendly flavors.

Up in Harlem, there’s been an extensive culinary renaissance going on for the last few years. While most of the new spots are quite large, Clay is more intimate, with a 10-seat bar and another 20 or so spots at inviting black-and-white bistro seating (there’s more space downstairs for private events). “Having a smaller space, and a split-level space at that, makes Clay feel cozy and allows us to get to know our guests,“ says Bar Director Andrea Needell Matteliano. The focus here is on highlighting local and regional producers and seasonal dishes (Clay even lists current farm sources on its website). Matteliano says diners are responding well to the fresh ingredients, casual friendly service and inventive fare like brioche French toast with seasonal fruit, confit duck leg with celeriac, smoked faro, collard greens and a blueberry gastrique. Drinks change seasonally, but focus on refreshing, fruit-forward concoctions like the Lazy Bird (tequila, honeydew, lime, jalapeño and lemon verbena).

WHERE IN NEW YORK

Go sightseeing—fast!—in The Shark speedboat.

 When one thinks of cocktail cruises, boat rides and other aquatic pleasures, one doesn’t typically think of NYC. But we city slickers take our waterways seriously: If you don’t believe us, ask any local realtor what an apartment with a view of the Hudson or East River goes for. Once near water, here’s what you can do.
