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

I went to Arvine<\/a>, the new Greenwich Village spot from Adrien Falcon (Bouley, Keith McNally restaurants) and chef Joe Anthony (Daniel, Union Square Cafe), and it\u2019s terrific. It reminds me of Chambers<\/a> or the Noortwyck<\/a> in which it\u2019s a great place to drink super-interesting and uncommon wines \u2014 but don\u2019t call it a wine bar. The scallops or the clams would be my go-tos, but I liked the fun of a giant garlic knot ($14) served with a side of puttanesca to start. The expansive bar is a fun perch, and now, there\u2019s happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 6:30 p.m.19 Greenwich Avenue, at West Eighth Street, Greenwich Village \u2013 Melissa McCart, lead dining editor, Northeast<\/p>\n

Tera, a new all-day cafe and bar,<\/a> recently landed on the Lower East Side with coffee and tea during the day, and sool, anju, and wine in the evenings. Daytime brings espresso, a coffee omakase, and a tea service served in the semi-hidden tatami room, but stick around until 5 p.m. for a menu of small to mid-sized Korean snacks that pair well with makgeolli, soju, and wine. Start with the crispy kimchi chips and yuzukosho guacamole. Try both the jeon, with shrimp or pork, and the composed abalone jang bap, served in a shell and layered with oyster mushrooms. On cold nights, or if you need something comforting, hot brothy gamte somen with pops of pickled shimeji awaits. 41 Essex Street, nearGrand Street, Lower East Side \u2014 Rebecca Roland, deputy editor, Eater Southern California\/Southwest <\/p>\n

Butter and salt might as well be listed as ingredients in Bar Oliver<\/a>\u2019s bikini ($12), the cafe-bar<\/a>\u2019s take on the beloved Spanish ham-and-cheese sandwich you\u2019ll find all over Barcelona. The \u201ccafe-bar\u201d distinction matters here; this is an all-day, linger-friendly format that\u2019s surprisingly hard to come by in New York. The sandwich arrives as four petite triangles that look delicate but deliver a full hit of buttery, ham-and-cheesy payoff. Paired with a nonalcoholic kalimotxo on a freezing night in early January, it briefly made me feel like I was somewhere else entirely. 1 Oliver Street, at St. James Place, Chinatown \u2014 Patty Diez, associate director, brand development<\/p>\n

The first meal of 2026, for me, had to involve dumplings<\/a>, so we placed a takeout order from this Westchester Chinese restaurant. We shared the spicy chicken soup dumplings, with a bright red exterior, giving way to delightfully spicy-and-juicy shredded chicken. Each dumpling was placed in its own little foil container to ensure that it didn\u2019t break. And the Colorado-based mini-chain is making its way into Manhattan at some point in the West Village. 709 White Plains Road, Scarsdale \u2014 Nadia Chaudhury, deputy editor, 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":496288,"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-496287","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\/115847733208663931","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496287","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=496287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496287\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
