Park Kitchen (CLOSED)

Inside midtown's Park Central Hotel, this 70-seat dining room offers elevated takes on comfort food. On the menu, find a PB&J on toast—here with braised pork belly and pepper jam—chicken-fried chicken with pickled egg and honey, and fish-and-chips with caper aioli. Draft beers skew local (Keegan, Sixpoint), and cocktails are borough-inspired, like the Manahatta (corn whiskey, Martini Bianco, peach bitters, pickled baby corn) and the Staten Island Frappe (rum, pineapple juice, Sarsaparilla dry bitters).
