Ushiwakamaru (136 West Houston Street,10012, tel. 212-228-4181, New York) sushi bar on West Houston is one of my best discoveries in NY this year. If you are a sushi purist like me, you will love this simple place run by Japanese chef Hideo Kuribara where the product is the king.…

For me, Eleven Madison Park is one of the most interesting New York’s fine restaurants at the moment. First, design-wise – it’s vast Art Deco-style dining room with high ceiling opens your mind for new gastronomic adventures as soon as you enter the building. Swiss-born Daniel Humm is the chef…

Despite my sceptical Momofuku Ko review, I do think that it’s great what David Chang is doing at the rest of his restaurants (which are more casual Momofuku Ssam Bar, Noodle Bar or, the latest addition, Ma Pêche). Where else you will find so many good things in one place?…
