Editorial Review

Japanese-inflected cooking from everybody's favorite Ethiopian Swede Marcus Samuelsson. May have you humming "Photograph" and lamenting a proofreader's oversight, but name actually references NYC, inspired by Japanese word for apple. Fruit in question found in purée accompanying beer-braised short ribs, in apple sake and apple vodka in the Big Riingo cocktail. Lovely modern lounge for enjoying said libations, with dangling bulbs and soaring glass. Versatile space also boasts mezzanine, main dining space, and sushi bar. Like the hotel that hosts it, nice mix of downtown style and midtown luxury.
