5 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in NYC
Weekly inspiration for last-minute dining
For focaccia and gelato in the East Village on Friday: Superiority Burger is known for its tight menu of vegetarian dishes, but a strong move is to go when the tiny East Village restaurant serves a focaccia special. Tonight, chef Brooks Headley is doing just that — putting out 22 trays of bouncy, just-sweet-enough bread topped with whatever he wants. There will probably be a line, and you’ll probably have to take it out to eat on the street. But it’s phenomenal, and well worth trying at least once, though you’ll likely want to go again. 430 East Ninth St., between First and Avenue A — Serena Dai, editor
For laidback Peruvian in Long Island City: The serpentine layout of Jora offers a lounge-y vibe, with pre-Columbian pottery in niches and subtle, flattering lighting. This Peruvian restaurant also offers opulent takes on Peru’s most well-known dishes, including the national dish of aji de gallina(hen in a turmeric-laced sauce dotted with olives), and tiradito (a wonderful grouper ceviche in a sauce dubbed leche de tigre). And while there are lamb shanks and big seafood dishes, the long appetizer list offers some of Jora’s most satisfying fare. Don’t miss the pisco sour, Peru’s most famous cocktail. 47-46 11th St., at 48th Avenue, Long Island City — Robert Sietsema, senior critic
