NoHo in New York

5 places for NoHo in New York, picked by creators — with what they said.

Fish Cheeks — Condé Nast Traveler
He declared the wings 'an elevated version of Chinese takeout wings' and the best wings in New York, called the branzino steamed in a ginger-lime-chili-fish sauce broth one of the best bites of fish of his life, and described the crab fried rice topped with two sauces as 'the best bite I've had in years.'
Heads up: It's a family-style setup, so it's best to order with a group so you can share several dishes.
Veselka — TOPJAW
Loved the house-made ricotta-style cheese pierogi and fried potato pierogi and the sausage, calling it a lovable old-school spot for Ukrainian-American brunch.
Heads up: There's always a line during the lunch rush.
Estela — TOPJAW
The signature endive salad, running since opening a decade ago, along with scallops with uni and the wagyu steak, impressed with restrained flavors and excellent service.
Heads up: One of the pricier spots in this guide, and dinner is very crowded — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday lunch are easier to get a table.
Emilio's Ballato — TOPJAW
Praised the meatballs, slow-cooked for seven hours, as the juiciest they've ever had, with the tagliatelle Bolognese as the signature dish.
C as in Charlie — TOPJAW
The oxbone marrow pasta tasted distinctly Korean rather than Italian, and the gochujang fried chicken and umami-packed bibimbap were excellent.
Heads up: Plenty of playful presentation, including a 'gimmick' dish styled to look like a cappuccino.
