Editor's Pick

This week: Atomix

"North America's best restaurant by the metrics that matter. Junghyun Park's fourteen-seat Korean counter has rendered every other tasting menu conversation redundant."

Three stars. Fourteen seats. Two seatings a night. Ninety days out on Resy if you want a Friday.

This week's pick is the rare restaurant that earns its rank on every axis we score: a kitchen that does precisely what it sets out to do, a room that flatters without theatre, and a wine pairing that's worth the spread. The ganjang gejang course arrives third, between the snack flight and the rice course, and remains — eighteen months after our first visit — the single most assured plate of food in New York.

Book on Resy at exactly 09:00 ET, 90 days out. The two-cover slots between 18:00 and 18:30 disappear in under 90 seconds on Fridays and Saturdays. Cancellations release at 17:00 the day before — set a Resy notify; we've gotten in twice in the last year that way.
