BLT Market
Type: American
Location: Midtown West
Laurent Tourondel (BLT Fish, BLT Prime), has expanded his empire yet again: The artisanal, local foods at this Ritz-Carlton venture are served in pricey digs (see the leather and velvet banquettes) toned down by rural bric-a-brac. Basics-such as a gratis hot demibaguette with parsley-garlic butter, served in a paper bag-wowed us. Both Euro options (silky gnocchi in fennel cream sauce with fiery lamb sausage) and American ones (New York strip steak with a knockout pepper rub) prove the BLT reign is still going strong. Average main course: $32
Ritz Carlton New York, Central Park, 1430 Sixth Ave (at Central Park South)
Subway: F to 57th St
