Some people go practically bonkers about the holiday season. I go bonkers simply trying to figure out how to cram all the C goings on in ovember into this maga ine. For starters, there is, of course, the TC ew ork City arathon, a nearly 0 year old tradition that this town adores. There is also the Thanksgiving Day arade, the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, the da ling Rockettes at Radio City usic Hall, all of which you can read about in our calendar. And, since it s the giving season, we also want to fill you in on some of our most charitable restau rants, which donate a portion of their profits to causes, not ust at the holidays, but all year long. n other news, we offer a taste of Battery ark, one of the hippest Lower anhattan hoods, and even suggest a visit to hiladelphia it s closer than you think . And so, here we go again Happy Holidays

GIVING BACK

Nothing feels sweeter than helping others. When it comes to giving back, New York City restaurants are at the top of the food chain. One of the major players helping combat hunger in the city is City Harvest, which rescues excess food from cafés and restaurants, dispersing it to soup kitchens and food pantries throughout the city. Fine dining establishments like Aquavit and Le Bernardin also offer City Harvest lunch menus, with a portion of sales going to the charity; Union Square Hospitality Group (Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern) has worked with City Harvest almost since its inception. Parker & Quinn, an American resto with a vintage ambience, has raised over $30,000 in the past five years with its “Pay It Forward Friday,” when a table’s bill is taken care of, and the cost of the meal is donated to a charity of the guests’ choosing from a provided list. And COFFEED, which has several restaurants and roasts its own singleorigin coffee beans, donates up to 10 percent of its gross revenue to charities around the world.“To directly impact society has been incredibly uplifting,” says COFFEED founder Frank “Turtle” Raffaele.—Scott Rouch

local and worldwide charities throughout the year. “We’ve created an engine to continuously donate to charities,” says P.S. Kitchen’s general manager and co-owner Jeff LaPadula. The restaurant also hires those who were formerly incarcerated, homeless or previously homeless, and victims of sexual abuse. “It pushes you over the edge to give your all,” LaPadula says.

UNIVERSITY CITY,

Hey, we’re the city that inspired the term “melting pot”—and we take it literally. By Meryl Pearlstein

WHE RE I N OV E M B E R 2018

NEW YORK CITY—as we all know— is considered the melting pot of the world. Diners here get an opportunity to explore a global selection of cuisines including exciting mashups, and chefs who have trained in many kitchens have now come into their own with fusions reflecting their own personal heritage as well. Japanese cuisine shows up in many permutations: Japanese and Korean culinary mixed marriages don’t seem too far-fetched as the countries’ proximity allows for easy migration of people, talent and recipes. Newcomer The Bari, in NoHo, focuses on small Japanese and Korean plates. The restaurant prides itself on spicy and umami fusions with dishes like sashimi with gochujang (red chili paste), or uni bibimbap. For something unexpected, The Bari’s bulgogi truffle udon is likely to become a new obsession.

In the East Village, Korean drops the Japanese spin and adds French instead at Soogil, a cozy bistro from Chef Soogil Lim, a native of South Korea with a culinary pedigree from French restaurant Daniel. While Soogil uses French techniques more than French ingredients, indulge in the French beignets filled with Korean sweet potatoes with a side of chilled white kimchi soup, or the short ribs braised until tender with soy sauce. A menu standout, the nurungji gras is a beautiful plate of sautéed foie gras served over spinach and oyster mushrooms atop a rice cake. Cocktails come with their own passport as well, adding Korean spirits like shoju and makgeolli to typical French recipes. Another entry in the Japanese invasion but with a European twist, Natsumi Tapas in Gramercy Park melds Japanese dishes with Italian flavors. You won’t have to

United Nations

choose a favorite cuisine here, because the small plates menu encourages diners to create their own mash-up medley. How do tofu ravioli, hamachi carpaccio with balsamic vinegar, or meatballs with basil pesto teriyaki sauce sound? Chefs Andrea Tiberi and Hiroyuki Nagao conjoin the two countries’ tastes with dishes that are subtle (shrimp fettuccine with yuzu tobiko) or dramatic (salmon pepperoncini roll). Japanese influences also merge with Jewish cuisine in Brooklyn. At tiny Shalom Japan, co-chefs and spouses Aaron Israel and Sawako Okochi marry their culinary backgrounds, resulting in an excitingly unusual menu. Williamsburg traditionalists might go into shock seeing kasha from the Old Country used as a crust for fluke, a fish popular on Japanese seafood menus, enhanced here with a sake beurre blanc; or the radical but wonderfully flavorful matzo ball ramen with a foie gras dumpling. Okonomiyaki, a messy Japanese omelet-pancake, goes even further down the fusion fairway when served with pastrami, sauerkraut and bonito flakes. Try the potent Oy Vey Iz Kir cocktail made with Manischewitz wine. Japanese-Peruvian is another trending combination. Japanese migrant workers settled in Peru in the late 19th century, adapting culinary traditions with ingredients found in South America. The resulting cuisine, Nikkei, is a fascinating fusion of tastes and preparations. Sen Sakana, the one-year-old Nikkei outpost in Midtown Manhattan from Chefs Mina Newman of Peruvian heritage and Taku Nagai, illustrates this cuisine at its finest with an extensive menu of cold and hot small plates, sushi, grills and main dishes. Sen Sakana’s Nikkei adds Peruvian accents like yuzu and aji amarillo to raw fish and tarts up Peruvian dishes like cold ceviche, serving it hot as well and with Japanese mushrooms. A personal favorite: Japanese cucumbers become Japanese “addictive cucumbers” when enhanced with fried Peruvian quinoa and set on a light drizzle of sesame and soy. Other popular culinary fusions involve Latin and Asian cuisine. The product of Chef/owner Richard Sandoval, winner of

Mexico’s prestigious Toque d’Oro, Zengo has commanded recognition from New York’s culinary cognoscenti for the past eight years for its forward-thinking LatinAsian fusion menu. Dishes like hamachi tiradito with shiso, Sriracha and ponzu (Japanese-Peruvian); achiote hoisin pork arepas (Mexican-Colombian-Asian); or the restaurant’s signature Thai chicken empanada filled with chile poblano and Oaxaca cheese (Thai-Mexican) show off balanced, bold fusions of traditional preparations with regional ingredients. The restaurant also has an array of sake and tequila. Korean-born Phillip Lee’s dream was to introduce Korean tastes to New York diners in a variety of accessible ways. His creative Kimchi Taco Truck, perennially mobbed at food-truck rallies, has expanded to a brick-and-mortar establishment as well. Kimchi Grill, located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, serves up a variety of dishes, be they bowls, tacos, nachos or tostadas, including homemade kimchi (spicy pickled cabbage), a staple throughout Lee’s early years in Seoul. Menu surprises exist, too, such as the popular vegetarian tofu edamame falafel taco. Duck confit enchiladas along with smoky poblano peppers stuffed with goat cheese make waves on the Mexican-French menu at Jolie Cantina, a small bistro on Brooklyn’s bustling foodie-magnet Smith Street in Cobble Hill. Traditional French dishes like bouillabaisse come with spicy tomato-achiote broth and add habanero aioli. Bring some friends and create a miniravioli or steak tartare World Cup competition, choosing Mexican and French versions of each to share, washed down with a Michelada or Frenchilada made from Modelo Negra or Kronenbourg beer. Each drink has MX hot sauce and lemon, and is rimmed with salt and chile a la Mexicana. Lolo’s Seafood Shack may be more pan-Caribbean than true fusion, but with the Caribbean itself being influenced by British, French and American cultures, island cuisine is already a mash-up by default. At this colorful casual spot, you’ll find smoked Mayan-influenced chicken wings, perfectly salted conch fritters and New England steam pots. Vive la fusion!

AS TEMPERATURES begin to take their big dip, there is nothing nicer after a chilly day of sightseeing (or business meetings) to relax in a cozy lounge with a tummywarming cocktail. Here are some top spots to do just that. Perched atop the Mandarin Oriental New York’s 35th floor, The Aviary boasts coveted views of Central Park and the bordering Manhattan skyline. Chicago’s award-winning concept bar opened its Columbus Circle location in 2017, offering the same approach to inventive libations and small-plate pairings that originally placed its flagship on every cocktail connoisseur’s radar. Here, you can relive the days of Old New York with a pre-Prohibition-inspired concoction, or opt for the Dealer’s Choice, by which The Aviary’s skilled bartenders will tailor a drink to your personal preferences, including something hot. Consider The Aviary an experience rather than a cocktail bar, and come prepared to experiment with the art of imbibing. Conveniently nestled in Times Square’s epicenter, The Rum House is ideal for a pretheater tipple or an intimate nightcap, but it also doubles as a buzzing jazz bar. As the name suggests, The Rum House specializes in premium, spiced and aged-rum-based libations alongside classic cocktails like the Moscow Mule and the Old Fashioned. On a cold November night, the Hot Toddy, mulled wine or cider (served seasonally so ask your waiter) will revive your frosty limbs—all the better for cutting loose to riffs of live piano. What was once an industrial no-go zone has turned into one of New York City’s most sought-after destinations. We’re talking about the Queens neighborhood of Long Island City, where an impressive fleet of must-try bars and restaurants have emerged in short order. Forge ahead toward a nondescript facade to find Dutch Kills (the ancestral name of the neighborhood), located in a spacious saloon, where bartenders sling a slew of hot cocktails, from Irish Coffee to Hot Toddies to smooth Buttered Rum. But it’s the bar’s own Bear Trap, made with bourbon, apple cider, honey, butter and cinnamon that proves a

local favorite among loyal customers. With the familiar charm of an Irish pub and the stylish energy of a New York City lounge, The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog is a celebrated hybrid boasting virtuosic cocktails and well over 100 varieties of Irish whiskey. voted the “World’s Best Bar” in 2016. Through an extensive menu of historically inspired libations, The Dead Rabbit tells the tale of Lower Manhattan circa 1850—a time in which Irish-American gang the Dead Rabbits ruled these streets. With a menu of mixed drinks bearing names like Trigger Happy, Wheeler Dealer, and Shoot from the Hip, each tipple is a nod to the bar’s vintage surroundings. But the star of the show is the legendary Irish coffee. Made with whiskey and whipped cream, one sip obliterates those chills. Don’t let the inconspicuousness of Middle Branch, housed within an unmakred Murray Hill town house, deter you. This hidden gem occupies a former antiques shop, with a pressed tin ceiling and exposed brick walls, along with views of the Empire State Building from a wrought-iron balcony on the bar’s second floor. Cozy up with a bespoke concoction such as the Warm Embrace, made with whiskey, ginger liqueur, apple cider, lemon juice and cinnamonapple-spice tea. One sip, and you’ll think it’s the very definition of contentment.
