Frenchette and Cote Land on Eater's Best New Restaurants List

CHELSEA, NY — Chelsea restaurant Cote and Tribeca bistro Frenchette landed coveted spots on Eater's roundup of the best new restaurants in America by the website's traveling food critic Bill Addison.

The Korean steakhouse, Cote at 16 West 22nd Street, earned a spot on the list for evolving the classic American steakhouse with the tabletop grill popularized by Korean barbecue restaurants.

Addison tout's the Michelin star restaurant's lower level where prime steaks are "hung in dry-aging lockers, bathed in crimson designer lighting," he writes.

Customers can order a variety of meats at various stages in the aging process at Cote through the "butcher's feast" for four cuts at $48, or the 10-course "omakase" at $125, Addison notes.

The other New York eatery to make the cut is Tribeca's Frenchette at 241 West Broadway where snagging a table at the constantly-packed French bistro takes dedication. The food at Frenchette "meanders in and out of the French lexicon," Addison writes, and has earned three stars from The New York Times.

It may be a task to score an impromptu table at the restaurant, but Addison says the "front-of-house staff is downright enchanting" for their charming kindness to hungry patrons waiting for a seat at the table.
