With Eater editors dining out sometimes several times a day, we come across lots of standout dishes, and we don’t want to keep any secrets. Check back for the best things we ate this week.

Two high school friends and I met up at the penultimate Queens Night Market, where we wandered the grounds stopping by whatever food stall caught our eyes during the incredibly pleasant October evening. My mish-mash meal consisted of a poke musubi from Eemas Cuisine, chicken momos from Nomad Dumplings (paired with a heaping douse of its piquant sauce), and these fantastic curry fish balls ($5) from Hong Kong Street Food. The balls were springy, the curry sauce was spicy, and it was a good amount of bites — two skewers with three pieces each. The last Queens Night Market for the season takes place on Saturday, October with a bunch of Halloween events, and yes, Hong Kong Street Food will be there. 47-01 111th Street, Flushing Meadows Corona Park — Nadia Chaudhury, deputy dining editor, Northeast

Since Hellbender opened, it has evolved from a late-night Mexican American bar with great food to much more of a full-fledged restaurant. Everything from the menu to the lighting has evolved, though standouts (the fried Oaxacan cheese, the creative cocktails, and the faux jaguar in the dining room) have remained. The star of our meal this time around was the crunchy but light-as-air ginger-spiced churros ($14). They were served with a healthy amount of whipped cream and a peach compote for dipping, and the combination of ginger and peach made for a wonderful transitional dish between seasons as we head into fall. Next time, I’m heading back for brunch to try their much-loved masa pancakes. 68-22 Forest Ave, at 68th Road, Ridgewood — Stephanie Wu, editor-in-chief

Cauliflower and mushroom focaccia by Camari Mick

Everything I got at this weekend’s Great Community Bake Sale was delicious, but if I had to choose a single best bite, I’d say it was the caramelized cauliflower and maitake focaccia by pastry chef Camari Mick. The focaccia itself was thick and pillowy and I would have been more than happy to eat it plain, but the topping sent it into transcendent territory. Mick caramelized cauliflower with butter “for hours,” she later told me over Instagram, and then topped it with roasted maitake mushrooms. The mushrooms were what first drew me in, but the caramelized cauliflower was what kept me needing more. I’m even more excited about Mick’s forthcoming L’Atelier Ébène now. —Bettina Makalintal, senior reporter

Brooklyn’s neo-Neapolitan legend Roberta’s debuted a huge location last year in the bustling restaurant district growing above Penn Station, making it a convenient NY pie pit stop before my train back to D.C. Walk up a fun stairwell splashed with art of a shark chomping on pizza (or take the luggage-friendly elevator, like I did) to find a surprise rooftop tiki bar in the center of the city. Because my boarding time was quickly approaching, I got its 12-inch classic margherita to go ($23). During my wait, an icy Evil Twin IPA and chat with my friendly bartender did the trick. The pizza pleasantly held up well at home five hours later. On my next trip back, I’ll have to try sleeper menu hits on the non-pizza front like tuna carpaccio, flatbread with stracciatella, and veal ragu pappardelle. 1 Pennsylvania Plaza, at West 33rd Street, Penn District — Tierney Plumb, editor, Northeast

I love fall flavors, from savory spices to roasted autumn vegetables, and the fish dish at this upbeat Mediterranean spot a few blocks from Gramercy Park checks all the boxes. Nova Scotia halibut ($45) is in season, and a snowy piece is perfectly seared, to slightly crisp the surface, while the inside stays juicy. The fish rests on a bed of squash puree that is given extra creaminess and spice with a hint of harissa-spiked labneh, plated with sweet, roasted baby Brussels sprouts, wild mushrooms, and slices of delicata squash, all from the nearby Union Square market. I normally order a veggie side of two, but this had plenty of produce without the need for any extras. It’s also a perfect dish for a pescatarian friend of mine who will be visiting for Thanksgiving. 250 Park Avenue South, at East 20th Street, Flatiron — Beth Landman, contributor, Northeast
