You never forget your first lobster roll. Ours was 20 years ago in New York City at Mary’s Fish Camp (which is still one of the best), and we put on 20 pounds alone from repeated visits.

Sometimes it’s our job to remind you of just what great restaurants we have in NYC. Case in point: Raoul’s. This isn’t a new restaurant (it’s been around since the 1970s).

But then we checked out the space, and Intersect by Lexus certainly makes one of the most architecturally beautiful restaurants in NYC. The food concept — rotating chefs from top restaurants around the world — also means you’re never bored. For the next few months, Manresa in the house, perfect for those in a Michelin-star frame of mind. Overview The…
