Beauty Shop
Cooper-Young is the hippest neighborhood in town these days, but when Beauty Shop arrived on the scene it was still very much up-and-coming. Don't go in expecting a cut and color; although this really was a beauty parlor once (and you might even be seated beneath an old-fashioned hair dryer if you're lucky), today it’s one of the best spots to grab lunch in Midtown (and the Sunday brunch is pretty great too). Brunch dishes range from Southern (biscuits and gravy, beignets) to global (the Israeli breakfast omelet with fig preserves, tahini, and feta). Dinner often takes on an Asian flare with favorites like a sugar-spiced crispy duck, Kobe beef lucky pot curry, and a scallop dish with Thai pork dumplings. Make a reservation instead of just showing up; while employees are typically friendly, walk-ins can definitely get overlooked, so it’s better to book in advance.
