Two Brooklyn Thai spots — Glin Thai Bistro in Fort Greene and Hungry Thirsty in Carroll Gardens — also made the cut.
Manhattan’s new entries were: Adda, an Indian restaurant, and Caribbean Kabawa, both in the East Village; Joomak, a contemporary restaurant, and Central Asian spot Laliko, both in the West Village; along with French restaurant Maison Passerelle in FiDi.
The one Manhattan newcomer above 14th Street was Papa San, a Japanese-Peruvian eatery on West 34th Street.
