Market Table - Chef-Owner Mike Price and Co-Owner Joey Campanaro on Carmine and Bedford Street in West Village

I'm surprised to find that one of my favorite NYC restaurants doesn't have its own thread here. Market Table is one of my feel good restaurants.

I have never been to Market Table and seen an empty table so there's a nice buzzy energy. The cocktails are excellent and the food menu, which is updated regularly, never disappoints.

As I blogged about here, the service is truly thoughtful. On one visit, our server heard my friends and me say we were sharing all of our dishes so they arrived plated as such.

Given its size and popularity, reservations are all but required.

Quinoa Hushpuppies sound like a good way to use quinoa. How were they spiced?

They tasted a lot like regular (but really good) hushpuppies. I googled to jog my memory and found that the NYT shared Market Table's recipe.
