Restaurants similar to ABC Kitchen

[NYCfoodie1234]

I am looking for restaurants in NYC that are similar to ABC Kitchen- not exactly the "hip" factor, but the freshness. Even places that have creative dishes. Is there anything in the city that you think measures up?

Kathryn's recommendations are great, as always. I'd add The Beagle to her list, as well as Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn.

By "freshness" do you mean a more "farm to table" philosophy?

Much will depend upon your budget, as there are some very expensive farm-to-table restaurants out there.

Some ideas:
Craft
Blue Hill / Blue Hill Stone Barns
Gramercy Tavern
Hearth
Northern Spy Co
Green Table
Mas Farmhouse / Mas Grillade
Market Table
Untitled
Riverpark
Hundred Acres
Back Forty
Cookshop
Telepan
Dovetail
Per Se's vegetable tasting

In Brooklyn, check out also Franny's and Roberta's. I'm sure there's more I'm missing.
