Kimika
From the team behind equally hard-to-get-a-table-at Thai spot Wayla, newish eatery Kimika has gotten the trend treatment from foodie influencers and Nolita scenesters both. Adventurous diners can't seem to get enough of its hybrid Japanese-Italian fare, which, to be fair, is executed so expertly that it is actually worth the hype.
