Food from one of the trendiest new restaurants in the city, @nudibranchnyc. Took these shots back in July so the menu may look a bit different these days but 10/10 would recommend. "Start with the refreshing raw scallops on top of seaweed crackers that will make you think of both Korea and Japan. Or try the frog legs fried in an absurdly good ginger and lemongrass batter. Your fingers will involuntarily transport every last bit of crust that falls on your plate straight into your mouth. But the absolute best thing here, which helped propel Nudibranch from a pop-up to a full-fledged restaurant, is the mushroom course. The kitchen cooks different types of mushrooms with Shaoxing wine and throws a big raw egg yolk on top. If you find it difficult to articulate what umami is to someone, have them try this dish, and the meaning will become clear in about two seconds. Hit up the people in your life who aren’t afraid to eat dishes they’ve never seen before, and bring them to Nudibranch. We love how the kitchen is trying new things and going for it in a slightly random way, and if you bring a group of four, you can pretty much try everything in one visit. The dishes change seasonally, and whenever the kitchen comes up with their next menu, we’ll be the first ones to make a reservation."
