Raven’s brewing flock consistently produces delicious IPAs and double IPAs, while also, refreshingly, proving eager to tackle traditional styles most modern American brewers stay away from, like English mild. You may have noticed an absence of fresh cans from the brewery’s Instagram feed recently, and that’s for good reason: it closed late last year to move to a larger space, on Manhattan Avenue."

"FlatironBest for wanting to lick your plateIf a friend’s ever recommended Cosme to you, they most likely mentioned the corn husk meringue. Made from charred, powdered corn husks, the meringue ($19) is salty, sweet, crispy, and disappears the moment it meets your tongue. At the heart of the dish, a corn mousse with the creamy richness of rice pudding adds softness to the meringue."
