Nicholas Heavican makes one of the city’s best croissants: It’s caramel-colored and shaped like a gibbous moon with an unmistakable smell — butter. Since 2018, when Heavican opened Nick and Sons Bakery in Williamsburg, customers have waited for his pastries in lines that snake down the block.

Disney Closes Magic Kingdom Restaurant Without Notice

Kemah, TX

When Choctaw chef David Skinner first launched his tasting menu restaurant Eculent in Kemah, he gave himself somewhat of a strategic ultimatum. “I told my wife, if it’s not doing well in five years, I’ll pull the plug,” he says. If it was, he’d give it 10 years. But a few years after its launch, the restaurant gained momentum. Skinner quickly earned a reputation as “the Willy Wonka” of dining, incorporating molecular gastronomy and high-tech cooking methods in a multisensory 30-course experience. Dishes like a plump cherry tomato packed with the full flavor of a BLT sandwich and rare ingredients like percebes, pricey gooseneck barnacles shipped from Spain, drew in diners from all around the country.
