Kabawa
The chefs wear tie-dyed aprons at Kabawa, the first clue that it’s not business as usual at this high end, Momofuku jaunt. The powers that be at that celebrated restaurant group created this place specifically to showcase the talents of Chef Michael Carmichael. He hails from Barbados, and is a talented proselytizer for the delights of Caribbean cuisine. To the muted sounds of reggae, ska, soca and salsa, diners cut into happily funky goat as tender as filet mignon, creamy raw shrimp with a welcome kapow of scotch bonnet pepper (pictured above) or a rapturously complex fish stew (blaff) featuring cobia fish, among other dishes (the menu changes seasonally). Try to get a seat at the three-sided counter facing inward onto the kitchen so you can watch the crew make its magic.
