NYC Restaurant Week 2025 Summer

A Cozy Bistro Vibe with a Michelin Star ✨ 🇳🇿 【The Musket Room】 📍 Nolita/Soho A $60 dinner with InKind acceptance? Now that’s a steal! 🎯 Founded in 2013 by New Zealand chef Matt Lambert, this gem earned its Michelin star just four months after opening. 🏆 The name "Musket" pays homage to New Zealand’s colonial history, and the menu is packed with Kiwi-inspired flavors. 🌿 Fun fact: They grow their own herbs and veggies in a backyard garden—talk about farm-to-table dedication! 🌱 🍽️ Appetizer 1️⃣ Hamachi Crudo 👍👍 - Super fresh sashimi alert! � The combo of yuzu’s tang + strawberry’s sweetness + sea beans’ natural saltiness creates a refreshing explosion. 🤯 2️⃣ Jamon Iberico Croquettes 👍 - These crispy fried balls aren’t the usual heavy fare. 🎮 Perfectly crunchy with layers of texture. 🍴 Entrée 3️⃣ Ora King Salmon 👍 - That buttery sauce though… 🧈 Creamy but not overwhelming, topped with trout roe that pops with umami. The skin? Crispy perfection. 🔥 4️⃣ Pekin Duck 👍👍 - Obsessed. 🦆 The meat is hearty, the skin reminiscent of crispy roast duck, and the cherry sauce? Chef’s kiss. 🍒 The pickled radish adds a fun twist, and the labneh (Middle Eastern yogurt) cuts through the richness. 🍰 Dessert 5️⃣ Housemade Mascarpone 👍 - Grilled peaches? 🍑 Mind blown—at first bite, I swore it was pear! 🤔 6️⃣ Black Forest Vegan Chocolate Mousse 👌 - Shocked it’s fully plant-based! 🌱 Gorgeous presentation, but a tad too sweet for my taste. *📝 Notes for My Future Self (and You!) Crudo = Italian-style sashimi. 🍣 Croquettes = Spanish/French fried goodies (potato + ham/fish + breadcrumbs = magic). 🥔🔥 💬 Let’s Chat!
