ABC Kitchen is a celebration of the best ingredients that each season has to offer, all served in the classically elegant style for which Jean-Georges Vongerichten is widely known. Market-fresh dishes from chef Dan Kluger, like roasted carrot and avocado salad with crunchy seeds, sour cream, and citrus, stand alongside Vongerichten mainstays like pretzel-crusted calamari. The décor is fresh, with an utterly cool urban sophistication that pairs perfectly with the style of the home furnishings store it’s connected to, ABC Carpet and Home. The restaurant was awarded the recognition of Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation in 2011, and remains in the rotation for serious restaurant-goers in New York City.

Don't let the homey atmosphere fool you; make a reservation at least a week in advance. Popular lunch items include include the turkey sandwich, cheeseburger, and the whole wheat pizzas.

In a dining world overrun with offal, Québécois heft, and pasta, it's nice to have a meal where a roasted carrot can blow you away. [Eater 38 Member]

Jeffrey Steingarten tells us this is his "favorite new Manhattan restaurant" in his New York Diet. He's a particular fan of the sauteed squash with parmesan.

The décor is absolutely stunning, and it doesn’t outshine the excellent food. Try Fluke Sashimi, Kasha and Bowtie Pasta with Veal Meatballs and the Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sundae.

An absolute design/decor standout with extraordinary local, sustainable, and organic offerings. The peekytoe crab toast, the kabocha toast, the bass and the ice cream sundae are out of this world.

Make a reservation! It will be worth the wait for the fresh, farmers' market ingredients. Arrive early to shop in the adjoining ABC Carpet and Home...such an amazing spot for rare finds.

An impressive assortment of seasonal dishes. Be prepared to wait for a table or book in advance. Stand outs were the sugar snap pea salad ($15) and the steamed halibut with asparagus ($29).

From the peeky-toe crab and mushroom toasts through to a rhubarb crumble dessert, everything we ate here was delicious, but the lobster here was really something special.

If you don't have a reservation, try showing up when they open at 5:30 and vie for a spot at the bar. Drink until you're hungry.

Chef Dan Kluger met boss Jean-Georges Vongrichten at the Union Square farmers’ market, where he buys local ingredients for his sustainable menu. The farfalle with kasha and veal meatballs is perfect.

Mushroom pizza goes down in history and I don't even need to mention the level the salted caramel sundae reached. Sashimi caught me off guard - spot on.
