Gjelina

This LA transplant has made a real entrance onto the NYC scene. Despite having weird hours (8 AM-2 PM), no signage, and no reservations, this modern Italian spot is already the place to see and be seen. The enormous, airy Bond Street space looks like it was designed by an algorithm whose sole purpose is to create aesthetically pleasing restaurants. The kitchen handles vegetables especially well, and the leeks in a preserved orange vinaigrette are unmissable. Round out your order with a pizza or two, and try to get a walk-in table while you still can.
