New York Times

Forgive the name, inherited from a previous tenant. The food here is Burmese, still a rarity in the city, with coolly bracing salads of mellowed ginger and nerve-twingeing tea leaves alongside earthy soups and curries, all uniting dozens of ingredients — raw, fried, fresh, fermented, whole or crushed into dust — for minute calibrations in crackle and crumble, pang and sting.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
