Treehaus, New York

Although it may be called "Treehaus," this restaurant isn't your mama's backyard hideaway. Instead, its wooden accents are tastefully incorporated into a casual, modern atmosphere, creating the feeling more of an art gallery than a child's play place. Their food, too, encapsulates this refined feel, offering up American fare with a French modernist twist. Their specialities include leg of lamb, bone marrow steak, and delicious burgers, but guests can also find fresh-pressed juices, create-your-own salads, and challah French toast on the menu.
