Tackling the Campbell’s muck of canned tuna and condensed soup, chef Miguel Trinidad (Jeepney, Maharlika) upgrades the dish at this groovy cocktail bar. The tinned provisions are swapped for from-scratch cream-of-mushroom soup and olive-oil-poached tuna, laced with al dente egg noodles and studded with plump peas. For that golden-brown crust, Trinidad opts for crispy, butter-dotted panko, putting your Aunt Mildred’s soggy crushed-potato-chip topping to shame. 13 First Ave at 1st St (212-995-5151, goldencadillacnyc.com). $7.
This season’s polar vortex has had more comebacks than Matthew McConaughey, and there’s no better way to wait out what are hopefully the last weeks of winter than with a hearty casserole.

Grab a scarf and a spoon and dig in—see you in spring.
