Partners Danny Abrams and Jimmy Bradley's formula for the perfect neighborhood eatery, which they perfected at the Red Cat in Chelsea, works like a charm in TriBeCa. Even though the Harrison opened barely a month after September 11, its easy-to-digest American menu and warm, woody room made it a winner from the get-go. Expect well-executed dishes such as horseradish-crusted halibut and sherry-glazed hanger steak with foie gras butter, along with a selection of creative sides. Reservations essential. Subway: 1, 9 to Franklin St.
