"Aquavit, which is located in one of the famous family's former town homes, may be your best bet. This elegant restaurant is noteworthy for its lovely atrium, which includes a waterfall and dramatic lighting...."

"Owner Håkan Swahn has spent the past six months transforming the space into a master class in Scandinavian modernism. Chairs and chandeliers in the cafe are ’60s originals from Verner Panton...."

"The dearly beloved restaurant relocated a block northeast to an even more Scandinavian space, leaving the famous waterfall behind. There's a café, lounge, bar, and 80-seat dining room, all decorated with more precise brushstrokes...."

"The smoked fish -- really all the fish -- is prepared perfectly. I often daydream about the herring plate: four types of herring accompanied by a tiny glass of Aquavit, distilled liquor not unlike vodka flavored with fruit and spices, and a frosty Carlsbe..."

"Talented chef Marcus Samuelsson culls inspiration from traditional Swedish products and runs with it. On the three-course dinner menu, you might start off with such Scandinavian standards as pickled herring, gravlax, smoked salmon and a lobster roll; or c..."

"You can add wine pairings to the prix fixe for $20 more, but we decided to do our own thing. My friend had just one glass of pinot grigio, and I did an aquavit sampler (flight of 3 for $17)...."

"Marcus Samuelsson, co-owner of the restaurant, has already received more accolades than most chefs receive in a lifetime: He was the youngest chef ever to receive a three-star restaurant review from The New York Times in 1995, and in 2003 was named "Best..."

"For the entrees, my friend had the Swedish meatballs ($18), one of chef Marcus Samuelson’s specialties, made with beef, veal, and pork. It was an enormous portion, and even after I shared a bit of it, she was unable to finish...."

"Initially, the difference between the old, familiar Aquavit and the new, hyperstylized, postmillennial version is a little jarring. The entrance to the restaurant’s new quarters resembles a bleakly modernist public square on the outskirts of, say, Götebor..."

"It is interesting to note that there are many more Ethiopian restaurants in New York than Scandinavian ones, somewhat odd considering the city's immigration history. What's perhaps even more surprising is that Aquavit, the city's best-known Scandinavian r..."
