Corner Table
Owners Thomas Boemer and Nick Rancone made an inspired decision when they recruited Borough vet Karyn Tomlinson to run their kitchen. Tomlinson's work (best savored in a three-course, $45 format) is imaginative, exacting and exciting (plus, she bakes a wicked-good popover). Go, and take a seat at the cozy kitchen counter. Dinner Monday through Saturday.

Tenant
One of the city's smallest restaurants is also one of its most charming. And daring. The menu? A six-course, 90-minute (and $50) meal that's served by the four chefs doing the cooking. The best seats in the house are the eight spots lining the L-shaped kitchen counter. Reservations required, dinner Tuesday through Saturday.
