With Eater editors dining out sometimes several times a day, we come across lots of standout dishes<\/a>, and we don\u2019t want to keep any secrets. Check back for the best things we ate this week.<\/p>\n

Tucking into this restaurant<\/a> during a torrential downpour qualifies for another level of coziness that is entirely its own. Start with good wine and good conversation with strangers at the bar. Then move on to crudo ($21), the delicate jam\u00f3n ib\u00e9rico, and fresh mozzarella sandwich triangles known as bikini ($18). Finally, end with this simple and perfectly filling bowl of tender, pillowy gnocchi generously showered in shaved black truffle. Il Buco is that rare sort of restaurant that sits on a quieter street where it\u2019s been for decades, humbly retaining its status of perfection in homey, quality cooking. And every time I go, I am reminded of that. 47 Bond Street, between Bowery and Lafayette Street, Noho \u2014 Nat Belkov, associate creative director<\/p>\n

After a work event in Manhattan, I was looking for a portable dinner when I remembered that the owner of the recently shuttered Cemitas El Tigre<\/a> runs this other restaurant centered on fast-casual Bajan-style Mexican food<\/a>. It\u2019s a bright space with a simple menu where the staff constructs your dish in front of you, Chipotle-style. I got the Baja crispy fish burrito ($12.95) done up California-style, which meant tater tots (!!!), a nod to San Diego-style burritos, which typically come with fries<\/a>. It\u2019s a heavy and packed burrito that made for a filling and satisfying dinner after a train ride home, though I could\u2019ve done with more of the salsas or at least a side of them. Also, the fat churros (three for $7.95) made for a nice dessert. 275 Madison Avenue, near East 40th Street, Midtown \u2014 Nadia Chaudhury, deputy dining editor, Northeast<\/p>\n

Recently, while in Ridgewood, I decided to stop for an impromptu solo dinner at Pierogi Boys, the new restaurant and specialty market that started as a stall in the DeKalb Market Hall<\/a>. The restaurant side was warm and inviting, occupied by both families with kids and pairs of diners. I sat at the bar and ordered a plate of meat pierogies ($16). The dough was tender and light, and each dumpling was generously stuffed with a mixture of braised beef cheek and pork butt. A gravy of caramelized onions and a finishing touch of dill and chives balanced out the savory dish. It was a cozy, stick-to-your-ribs meal for a cold and blustery evening. 57-34 Catalpa Avenue, at Onderdonk Avenue, Ridgewood \u2014 Bettina Makalintal, senior reporter<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe how much I loved Howoo<\/a>, the Korean barbecue restaurant inside the three-in-one complex<\/a> that includes tofu-centric DubuHaus and the cocktail bar with snacks, Musaek. The spaces are packed, each with such a different scene \u2014 even when I left after 11 p.m. on a Friday. If I were going with one other person, I\u2019d snag a seat at the bar, where there\u2019s a barbecue setup at every pairing. But I was with a larger table, which felt private but still in the mix of things, with just the right acoustics so you can hear everyone at the table even though the room is busy. Tables can order a set meal that comes with banchan, souffles, salads, noodles, and dessert, as well as a la carte options. But don\u2019t skip the excellent appetizers: a mix of textures in the seafood naeng-chae, with jellyfish, octopus, squid, shrimp, and lotus roots, dressed with sesame and a vinegary dressing ($28). I also loved the steak tartare, served with the subtly sweet Asian pear, egg, and seaweed crisps ($29). I can\u2019t wait to go back to try the more casual Dubu Haus downstairs. 7 East 31st Street, between Fifth and Madison avenues \u2014 Melissa McCart, dining editor, Northeast<\/p>\n

Parading past the pastry counter at Sant Ambroeus on the way to be seated in the dining room, inhaling the intoxicating aroma of Italian coffee and eyeing the pastries and cakes, feels like being a gambler in Las Vegas, forced to walk by roulette tables just to get to your hotel room. I usually resist temptation, but I have a weakness for almond paste, soft meringue, and dark chocolate, so the amaretti cookie ($16), which is a recent addition, stopped me in my tracks. The almond paste is mixed with egg white, giving it an ethereal touch. That combination rests on a lush layer of vanilla kirsch butter cream and a base of 72 percent dark chocolate. That cookie haunted my dreams, so I returned the next day to pick one up for an afternoon snack. 1000 Madison Avenue, between East 77th and 78th streets, Upper East Side \u2014 Beth Landman, contributor, Northeast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Eater editors dining out sometimes several times a day, we come across lots of standout dishes, and…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":353383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,9765,16319,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-353382","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-best-dishes","10":"tag-dining-out-in-ny","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkcity","15":"tag-ny","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115487661520056327","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353382\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
