North River (CLOSED)

This old-world American spot—named after the colonial tag for the Hudson—features updated American classics from Adam Starowicz (Momofuku Ko, Hearth). In the 55-seat Victorian-inspired dining room, decorated with an antique brass chandelier and wood wainscoting, dig into dishes like ham salad with cornichons, shrimp and grits with cheddar and chives, and fried chicken with cheddar-chive biscuits and braised green beans.
