Stephanie Breijo, Food & Drink Editor at Time Out
This was a tough one for me. I wrote a Best New guide for Time Out this year, and in the process I decided it needed to not be a Top 10, but a Top 15—because in addition to the heavy-hitters like Bavel and Majordomo and APL and the NoMad, there were so many perfect neighborhood spots that opened and deserved their due. Porridge & Puffs, Little Prince and Ma’am Sir all made the cut.
