Where: Oda House
406 E 73rd St, New York, NY 10021

Why: Georgian food may be the greatest cultural cuisine on the planet. This is some silk road fantasia food. There are a handful of good Georgian restaurants in New York, but Oda House is consistently just a cut above the rest.

What: Khinkali (dumplings), Khachapuri Adjaruli (a cheese boat unrivaled), Pkhali Trio (delicious spreadable, appetizer), Fresh Tomato Salad with Green Ajika Sauce (Walnut Sauce – delicious), Lobio (pinto beans)
