New season, new restaurants and with spring just around the corner, it's time for our quarterly hottest restaurants update;
Check out 10 of the most important restaurants in NYC right now, from a West Village sushi master to a Harlem restaurant and jazz lounge. What'd we miss? Tell us in the comments.
French LouieWhy it's hot: The second project from Buttermilk Channel duo Doug Crowell and chef Ryan Angulo, French Louie interprets French-American fare, including takes on French-Louisiana cuisine (think: pan-fried skate with dirty rice and crab bisque, and escargot "marchand de vin").
While it's a recently opened space, we anticipate it becoming a new hot spot in Boerum Hill thanks to its prime Atlantic Avenue location. Plus, the upcoming outdoor patio should be a big draw as temperatures rise.
Must order: Point Judith flounder ($26), lamb neck daube ($24); foie gras and country ham terrine ($18); Socca bread ($4); anchovy frites ($7)
The details: 320 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn; 718-935-1200
