Back Forty
Peter Hoffman's much buzzed about eatery takes the American bistro to the next level with decadent versions of classics like burgers and fries and fried fish. Yet this Lower East Side hotspot has not risen to such fame through food alone; the trendy vibe and frequent celebrity visitors add to Back Forty's allure. Check out the effortlessly cool, slightly eccentric garden complete with hanging lights and brightly colored, mismatched chairs. The garden's opening is celebrated with a crab boil dinner, just one of the events Back Forty is known for (others include Oyster May-nia and Passover Dinner).
