We love modernist cuisine, but there will always be a special place in our hearts for classics like these:

• American Flatbread (Hudson and Desbrosses): New Vermont Sausage and Punctuated Equilibrium Flatbreads
• Max (Duane between Greenwich and Staple): Lasagna
• The Butterfly (W. Broadway between Franklin and White): Deviled Eggs
• Woodrow’s (Murray between W. Broadway and Church): BBQ Grilled Chicken Wrap with Homemade Potato Chips
• The Copenhagen (Laight between Varick and St. John’s Ln.): Home Baked Rye Bread, the basis for their Smoked Pollack with Radish and Potato with Smoked Mayo Smørrebrød, or open-faced sandwiches
