If you order just one duck dish in the city—they’re everywhere!—make it the duck à la presse at Ryan Ratino’s fanciful French-ish bistro. The bird’s bones are run through a vintage duck press, which helps create a glorious sauce royale from their rich juices. Fine-dining touches abound here, from white truffles on the linguine to crisp service to the ’grammable glassware your Bee’s Knees cocktail is served in.
