Frenchette
When Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr opened this classic French bistro in Tribeca in 2018, foodies were obsessed. They still are. While you may be able to snag some lunch seats, prime time dinner reservations are still pretty hard to come by. Nevertheless, the James Beard Award-winning menu of updated French favorites like duck confit, bavette au poivre, and poulet roti, make the rigmarole of refreshing Resy totally worth it.
