With Eater editors dining out sometimes several times a day, we come across lots of standout dishes, and we don’t want to keep any secrets. Check back for the best things we ate this week.

This smolderingly hot week would be an ideal time to seek out Smithereens, the cool below-street-level ode to New England cuisine from Nick Tamburo and Nikita Malhotra. A favorite dish was the paper-thin buckwheat crepe ($24) brushed with maple butter that drapes across a layer of creamy smoked bluefish. It’s fun to share with a friend across the table, whether you’re forking it or tearing and eating like injera. Don’t miss the abalone skewers, either, with crispy grilled edges and egg yolk for dipping ($32). The place leans wine bar, so allow yourself some time to explore the pours. 414 E. Ninth Street, at First Avenue, East Village – Melissa McCart, lead editor, Northeast

Darjeeling Kitchen and Cafe is one of those restaurants I wish were closer to my house, or I’d be there all the time. Serving Tibetan and Himalayan cuisines — all entirely halal. They serve some really great momos here, but a dish I hadn’t tried before was rildok, a spicy tomato-and-cheese dumpling soup, that’s made at Darjeeling with blue cheese instead of the more common yak cheese. It made me sweat out in all the right ways on a recent summer night. 31-12 36th Avenue, at 32nd Street, Astoria — Emma Orlow, editor, Northeast

What is more “New York City summer” than an ice cream cone from the still massive old-school ice cream truck company, especially when it’s the chocolate-dipped vanilla soft serve enjoyed on Coney Island? — Nadia Chaudhury, editor, Northeast

As a Bushwick resident, the prospect of a good, walking-distance burrito under $15 excites me, and Nacho Macho Taco delivers. The chicken mole burrito ($13.95) comes wrapped in a warm, perfectly translucent tortilla that gives each bite a hint of West Coast comfort. The mole inside wasn’t too sweet or overpowering, and adding a little green Yucateco sauce only does extra wonders for each bite of tender chicken. Giving credit where credit is due, my partner took me here, and her West Coast roommate approves. This is up there with Plaza Ortega in terms of a burrito worth walking to. 591 Knickerbocker Avenue at Palmetto Street, Bushwick — Sergio Scardigno, social video producer, Eater

When I think of Alsatian food, sausages, sauerkraut, and steak frites come to mind in the melding of French and German influences, but this ethereal dessert ($15) was the highlight of my meal at the cozy Upper East Side spot that has been around for decades. An incredibly fluffy crêpe, filled with vanilla-laced pastry cream, was surrounded by a narrow wafer of caramel, bruléed to a crisp, and drizzled with passionfruit coulis for a tart contrast. It’s haunting my dreams, so I may go back soon for a second helping. 1703 Second Avenue between 88th and 89th streets, Upper West Side — Beth Landman, contributing writer, Northeast
