Tim Vetter: One of the most amazing spaces in NY: The original kitchen of an early-19th-c Bond St mansion, lovingly restored. Check out the two massive, original cooking hearths on the E wall near the rear.
Epicurious: Arrive early and work up an appetite for the stunning tasting menu by wandering the grounds of the former Rockefeller dairy estate. In the fields, you'll see much of the makings of the night's meal.

Tristan: my favorite place in the city. Here's what you need to do. 1) order the shrimp + grits (wow!), 2) order the La Chouffe beer (seasonal and awesome), 3) build a biscuit (bacon + pepperjack). Game over!
