The #1 restaurant in NYC two years running — Kwame Onwuachi's Afro-Caribbean kitchen at Lincoln Center is the most important American restaurant of the decade
Kwame Onwuachi opened Tatiana inside the renovated David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center in 2022 and was named the #1 restaurant in New York by the New York Times in both 2023 and 2024. The Afro-Caribbean menu draws on his Bronx upbringing and his family's diaspora: Trinidadian roti, Nigerian suya beef, bodega sandwiches reimagined as dessert, Chinese takeout transformed by the lens of a Bronx childhood. Everything is served tableside in a room that feels as celebratory as the performing arts campus it inhabits. The reservations are among the hardest in the city. The bar takes walk-ins. This is one of the most important American restaurants of the decade.
