The Pan American (CLOSED)

This Nolita restaurant brings together the cuisines of the Americas, combining Latin flavors with regional U.S. dishes and Canadian ingredients. Expect items like shrimp cocktail with mojito sauce, Caribbean squash pancakes with Canadian bacon, and buttermilk fried chicken with saffron-chorizo rice. In contrast with the soulful fare, the futuristic 40-seat dining room, outfitted with a glass-tiled bar and white chairs, is bathed in an aquamarine glow from LED lights lining the walls.
