NYC Restaurants

Located in the heart of Williamsburg, Aldama’s cozy, intimate interiors, elevated Central Mexican cuisine, and craft cocktails make this spot the perfect place to grab a bite this Fashion Week. Led by restaurateur and veteran bartender Christopher Reyes (Cosme and Employees Only) and Chef Gerardo Alcaraz (three-Michelin starred Martin Berasategui in San Sebastian), the Williamsburg restaurant brings Mexico’s vibrant culinary scene to Brooklyn. Here, Alcaraz spotlights lesser-known regional Mexican dishes like Carne Cecina – a favorite from his upbringing – as well as Tlacoyo de Pato, a vibrant Daikon Tostada and the signature Vegan Mole. For the cocktails, Reyes combines simplicity with innovative techniques picked up from his tenure at top bars to create signatures like the Citrus Fizz, Sangre de Mezcal and Mount Fuji. - Aldama
