If a 7-train ride to Flushing isn’t in the cards, hit up St. Marks instead: Szechuan Mountain House has graced Manhattan with its intoxicating cuisine, where Sichuan peppercorns perfume the air. Most everything comes laden with the prized ruby-red chiles, and you’ll find regulars and newcomers alike getting teary-eyed over a heady fish stew. Pro tip: Always start with the pork belly with chile, where paper-thin slices of meat and cucumber are strung up like sheets on a clothesline.
