With its worn-in good looks, it’s no surprise that No. 7 is this neighborhood’s favorite hangout—a place where a cool crowd sips at the lively bar and sink into the dining room’s sumptuous, horseshoe-shaped banquette. Add to that a menu so intriguingly original, it started a movement (the brand now includes kiosks serving sandwiches and veggie burgers), and you’ve got a recipe for success. A delicious alchemy is at work in this open kitchen creating the likes of braised pork shoulder-stuffed cabbage paired with grilled stone fruit panzanella. Starters and dessert here are every bit as fun as the main event. The proof is in the perfectly ripe avocado topped with smoked trout, tobiko and jalapeño oil, followed by the decadent brandy Alexander tiramisu.
