Located on one of NOLA's best foodie streets, Ancora serves the city's first authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. Chef Jeff Talbot bakes them in his prized multicolored Stefano Ferrara oven. To store toppings near the mouth of the oven, Talbot uses a table made out of old whiskey barrels and designed by Chip Martinson, the husband of F&W Best New Chef 1989 Susan Spicer. Must try: The Bianca, topped with fior di latte (a fresh, creamy mozzarella made from cow milk rather than water buffalo milk), fresh basil, olives, garlic and chile.

America's Best Happy Hours

<p> <b> Pitch: </b>
Brooklyn Soda Works began in the home kitchen of artist Caroline Mak and chemist Antonio Ramos, when they were experimenting with homemade ginger beer. They found that the best results came from fresh-pressed juice, and their vision for a soda company was born. </p>

<p> <b> Campaign: </b> Mak and Ramos offered free sodas, tote bags and hand-printed original soda recipes to those who pledged during their 42-day Kickstarter campaign. </p>

<p> <b> Success: </b> The couple raised $2,849—more than $1,000 over their goal—which helped them relocate to a large warehouse space and buy equipment to make large batches of their creatively flavored sodas (raspberry-green peppercorn, red currant-shiso). A variety of New York bars and restaurants, including Blue Hill and Untitled at the Whitney Museum, now offer the soda on tap. </p>
