MODERN AMERICAN
Once overlooked in this star-studded town, this deco wonder has rocketed up the charts,
coming in at number 5 in the 2013 San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list. It's
hardly surprising: this revamped poster child of modern, sustainable American cooking is
also one of only seven NYC restaurants sporting three Michelin stars.
Behind the buzz is young-gun co-owner and chef Daniel Humm, who turns immaculate
regional ingredients into indescribably pure, sublime statements. Book ahead.

ABC Kitchen
$$$
Looking part gallery, part rustic farmhouse, sustainable ABC Kitchen is the culinary avatar
of chi-chi home goods department store ABC Carpet & Home (see 28 7 , B4). Organic gets
haute in dishes like vibrant raw diver scallops with market grapes and lemon verbena, or
comforting roast suckling pig with braised turnips and smoked bacon marmalade. For a
more casual bite, hit the scrumptious whole-wheat pizzas.
