Esmé and Next Restaurant top the list, both Delicious as F*ck, both Michelin One Star, both $$$$ — one a James Beard Finalist in Lincoln Park, the other a James Beard Winner in Fulton Market District. Behind them, Class Act and goosefoot round out the Damn Good tier, each carrying a James Beard Semifinalist nod of its own. Small list, high floor.
