The lowdown
Canal Street Market benefits from a bright and airy design that situates the meticulously maintained stand-up seating under an actual skylight instead of in a dungeonlike basement. Here, the best things to eat that you won’t see everywhere else: Oppa’s bulgogi steak sandwich, like a Korean cheesesteak or maybe an uptown chopped cheese but about ten times more savory and addictive; Nom Wah Kuai’s braised-pork-belly rice bowl with cabbage, pickles, and a tea egg; and Izakaya/Samurice’s ochazuke, the Japanese rice soup whose mushroom-bonito broth is steeped here like a cup of third-wave pour-over coffee and may be even more therapeutic than a 2nd Avenue Deli chicken in the pot.
