Peace and Quiet

Instead of a review this week, Ryan Sutton offers a guide to New York's quietest restaurants. On Empellon Cocina: "Ask for a table in the back and something very peculiar happens: You hear Jack White playing the guitar on the sound system while the voice of your dining companion is crystal clear. That's because chef Alex Stupak invested a bunch of money in professional sound proofing. Other young restaurateurs should follow Stupak's lead." [Bloomberg]
