Chef Michael Solomonov’s name is synonymous with Israeli food in America — move through the menu here, and you’ll see why. For his first foray south of Philly, he’s bringing his expertise to a dynamic lineup of hummus, salatim, mezze, and charcoal-grilled meats, with a touch of Miami flair (amba-marinated short ribs, anyone?). You’ll want to order something from every section of the menu and pair your meal with some well-curated Middle Eastern wine.

More of a good thing is always welcome, and this Center City hummusiya has grown, with a larger dining room and a more extensive menu (with cocktails added) — but with the same spirited industrial-chic atmosphere and more-please menu of hummus variations, plus that famous za’atar-roasted chicken dinner.

Stories and history fill Kwame Onwuachi’s Afro-Caribbean restaurant, from paying homage to the land surveyor who drew up the lines for Washington D.C. to the chef’s own Nigerian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, and Creole heritage. At its core, though, Dōgon’s all about superb cooking with fantastic cocktails to boot.

This two-story bar from Zahav chef Mike Solomonov, housed within a 19th-century Olde Kensington firehouse, is where citrusy drinks shine, crisp wines flow freely, oysters are shucked to order, and you're always sure to have a good time. Don't sleep on the Jaffa burger with green chiles, or the bone-in monkfish, either.

Because all good things come in threes. After opening Laser Wolf Brooklyn and K'Far Brooklyn at Williamsburg's Hoxton hotel, chef Michael Solomonov, restaurateur Steve Cook, and Boka Restaurant Group decided, naturally, to delve into cocktails. This indoor-outdoor terrace referencing Israel’s port city of Jaffa is where citrusy drinks shine, and you're always sure to have a good time.

This isn’t your average hotel lobby restaurant, thanks to chef Michael Solomonov, Steve Cook, and Boka Restaurant Group. K’Far’s all-day menu hits all the right notes, with exceptional Jerusalem bagels and pastries in the morning (do not skip the pistachio sticky bun) and a game-changing chicken schnitzel come nighttime.

Because where else in the city can you find such a bounty of Israeli-style grilled meats, top-tier salatim, and truly epic views of the Manhattan skyline? Brought to you by chef Michael Solomonov, Steve Cook, and Boka Restaurant Group, this Philadelphia import is one of the city’s most memorable dining experiences, period.

Because Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook never run out of creative ways to express the rich diversity of Israeli cuisine. There's something about meats seasoned with Middle Eastern spices, and prepared over a charcoal grill, that just hits differently in their hands.

Because any pasta touched by Sarah Grueneberg is a guaranteed revelation: Cacio whey pepe, egg yolk ravioli, and ragú alla Napoletana with a fusilli rustico base are among the highlights. Here, you’re well advised to choose your own adventure, because all destinations lead to pasta perfection.

You’ll want to join the swells sipping Pink Tuxedos (vodka and vermouth enhanced with beet, cherry, and chocolate) at this intimate bar located one flight up a stunning staircase from SAGA, the elegant new tasting-menu restaurant from the same team behind Crown Shy.

Chef and author Kwame Onwuachi has finally come home to New York, and he’s done so in a big way at this Lincoln Center stunner. Tatiana, named for his sister, is an homage to his most cherished memories of growing up and eating his way through the city, from bodega sandwiches and Italian rainbow cookies to Nigerian egusi stew and braised oxtails. Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the short rib pastrami suya, or the egusi soup dumplings.

A restaurant so genuinely connected to its physical roots — both in décor and cuisine — makes for a sensational dining experience.

Because even with more than a decade of accolades, Zahav remains one of the premier restaurants  — not only in Philadelphia, but the country.
