Frankie’s Restaurant Arthur Avenue Belmont, The Bronx
Newly added this week!
This is Little Italy, Bronx style, which means porterhouse for two, clams oreganata, eggplant rollatini, and spaghetti and meatballs. Dress accordingly, by which we mean don’t wear white or anything else you’d mind getting a little runaway gravy on.
Sushi Kaito Upper West Side
Newly added!
Open since 2017, Sushi Kaito is something of an Upper West Side gem. This 12-seat stunner offers a 17-course omakase (priced at $115 per person) with some sushi aficionados claiming it as one of the most underrated sushiya in town. Fish comes from Tokyo’s Toyosu market of course, with an eye towards seasonal specialties, like firefly squids in spring and iwashi (sardine) in the fall.
La Esquina Cantina – Soho Soho
Newly added!
Come here for classic cantina bites from a spot that’s slowly taking over the city and beyond. Order the queso fundido, jumbo crab tostadas, and pork belly tacos, plus a pitcher of their spicy cucumber margarita.
ART NoMad NoMad
Newly added!
You know summer is really here once the rooftops reopen for the season. Stroll across the fully glass skywalk at the Arlo Hotel’s ART Nomad as you sip your prosecco and snack on marinated olives. Welcome back, sunshine.
Madeline’s Greenpoint
Newly added!
The signature drink at Madeline’s is a perfectly frothy espresso martini, elevated with green chiles and vanilla. That pretty much sums up the vibe here, both cozy and cool, with lots of plush seating options and several floors to explore.
Utsav Indian Restaurant Midtown
Newly added!
Because Utsav does Indo-Chinese cuisine brilliantly but it’s also a sprawling, bi-level spot that just happens to be located on a skywalk right near Times Square. People-watch to your heart’s content as you enjoy paneer tikka and Manchurian-style cauliflower.
Agave West Village
Newly added!
The real prize at Agave is the daily (yes, daily) 90-minute bottomless brunch deal, with your choice of mimosas, margaritas, sangria, draft beer, or wine for only $35. As if that wasn’t reason enough to make your Resy, the mojo burrito and shrimp ceviche are sure to tip the scale.
Mikado – Metropolitan Kew Gardens
Newly added!
Because it’s a feast for both your stomach and your eyes. Enjoy your maki rolls, edamame, and uni nigiri in style as you dine under a supremely colorful and collaged hodgepodge of Japanese ads and signs.
Hero Thai & Izakaya Astoria
Newly added!
Why choose between Thai and Japanese when you could have both at Hero? Get an order of takoyaki and duck rolls each, and then a few of the perfectly saucy noodle dishes. Pro tip: They’re open until 10:30 p.m. if you want to grab a few cocktails before a night out.
Noodies Thai Kitchen Hell’s Kitchen
Newly added!
We’re at Noodies for the whole fried soft-shell crab that comes with basil, bell peppers, and chilis, plus a few orders of pad woon sen for the table. Don’t forget the watermelon margarita.
Anytime Kitchen Koreatown
Newly added!
If you can dream it, they probably have it on the menu at Anytime. There’s hot pot, KBBQ, burgers, Mexican fusion, soju … need we say more? Go for the popcorn tofu and cheesy chicken tteokbokki.
CASA BOND NoHo
Come to Casa Bond for a taste of the Tulum high life. You’re definitely ordering the aguachile – with shrimp, razor clams, and a blend of seven chilies – but don’t sleep on the fish tacos, either.
Yefsi Estiatorio Upper East Side
Yefsi, or “taste” in Greek, is a fitting name here in more ways than one. The dining room is tastefully done, yes, but the real draw here is the grilled fish, meats, and the fluffy pita.
Mocha Burger Greenwich Village
Whether your fancy is traditional beef, lamb, mushroom, or salmon burgers, Mocha Burger has you covered. Add on an order of fried crunchy onions and you’re golden. Plus? It just happens to be completely kosher certified.
Bersi Ethiopian Restaurant Greenpoint
Because the namesake behind Bersi got her start selling injera to the Ethiopian Eritrean community of New York City almost a decade ago. And Bersabeh “Bersi” Ayele still makes it fresh every morning to hold (and soak up) a world of incredible plant-based offerings — don’t miss the mushroom tibs, misir wot (lentils cooked in a spicy red sauce), and the traditional chickpeas.
Bangrak Thai Cuisine Yorkville
If you’re looking for a Thai spot fit for a princess — or at least someone whose favorite color is pink — then Bangrak is for you. The menu abounds with Southern Thai flavors, and do note that their signature gaeng rawaeng (stewed beef with turmeric and coconut curry) is required eating.
Sushi Mambo Inwood
If you’re craving sushi with a twist, then let Sushi Mambo take care of you. The Japanese-Latin spot excels in fusion rolls, with ingredients like fried yucca, sweet plantain, and longaniza, but if your tastes veer for the familiar, they’ve got the requisite salmon avocado roll on the menu, too.
Jean’s NoHo
What can’t Jean’s do? It’s a bar, it’s a club, it’s a restaurant, and you’ve probably already heard of it. You’re sure to brush shoulders with downtown’s coolest here as you enjoy your cheeseburger and chili oil martini.
Saar Indian Bistro Midtown
For particularly tasty Indian classics like butter chicken, rogan josh, and paneer, head to Saar and order one of each of the breads (the fenugreek paratha is especially good) for all that sauce. Absolutely save room for dessert (an impeccable saffron rice pudding) and Pro tip: They’ve got a happy hour until 6:30 p.m. that includes both small bites and cocktails.
Omakase Sushi by Hiro Sheepshead Bay
Because when a veteran of Sushi Nakazawa opens his own place, you pay attention. Here, you’ve got a variety of omakase menus with different courses and price points to choose from, ranging anywhere from 11 courses for $78 per person to 13 courses for $118 per person.
Paul’s on Time Square Times Square
Come here for a white tableclothed oasis in the middle of New York City’s most hectic neighborhood. Best yet: Paul’s doles out comfort by serving up classic Italian-American fare — cue the baked ziti, calamari, and chicken parm.
Westville – Wall Street Financial District
It’s our go-to healthy-ish lunch spot, complete with build-your-own plates, fresh salads, and a turkey burger worth traveling for. Don’t skimp on the market sides and mac and cheese.
Clinton Hall Fidi Financial District
The original location of what is slowly becoming New York’s requisite good-time brewery, FiDi’s Clinton Hall is known for their tabletop games and whimsical food — think gooey cheese-drenched burgers with fries stuffed into its center and grilled cheese served suspended over tomato soup.
Antique Garage – Soho SoHo
Named for its home in a former working mechanic shop, Antique Garage serves up expertly executed Mediterranean classics like flaky borek, juicy kebabs, and filling lamb burgers. Pro tip: They have live jazz during their weekend brunches.
Tiny’s & The Bar Upstairs Tribeca
Look for the pink, three-story townhouse right in the middle of Tribeca — that’s Tiny’s. They serve food all day, but at dinner, the curried spinach dip and dry-aged burger are particularly worth the trip. You’re also sure to see a crowd of revelers out front, sipping on Peach Fizz cocktails.
Palermo Restaurant Astoria
Because they’ve got all the Italian food you could ever want, and then some. Order the homemade garlic focaccia, veal parmesan, and a pizza for the table. Pro tip? When the weather’s nice, their patio is the place to be.
Jongro BBQ Koreatown
This K-Town stalwart has been serving up perfectly marbled cuts on tabletop grills for more than a decade. Better yet, the banchan and accompanying dishes are top-notch, too. The barbecued meat is obviously a must, and don’t forget a bottle of soju for the table, either.
Catch Steak New York Chelsea
At this buzzy steakhouse, the night is sure to take a gilded turn, with choices like Wagyu cooked tableside, whole lobsters, and towering orders of waffle fries. Do show up dressed to impress and ready to see and be seen.
Ramen By Ra Noho
It’s a postage-stamp-sized spot for delicious asa-ramen bowls with a decidedly New York City twist. Think bacon, egg, and cheese ramen, and smoked salmon bowls served at one of their five sleek seats. Bonus? You’re bound to see chef-owner Rasheeda Purdie behind the counter every time you go.
Paulie Gee’s Greenpoint
It’s a quintessential — and essential — Brooklyn pizza destination, with a huge list of pies (try their signature Hellboy with Mike’s Hot Honey and hot soppressata) and plenty of craft beers on tap. They’re open until 2 a.m., which also makes it the perfect spot to go to cap off your night.
Coszcal de Allende Bay Ridge
Coszcal de Allende is back, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. While they’ve found a new home after a decade in their original location, they’re still serving up their incredible sopa panza, alongside quesadillas, tamales, and tortas.
Lovebirds Wine Bar & Bistro Greenpoint
It’s a perfect spot for a cozy, low-key date night, with plenty of excellent wines by the bottle and a fun, inventive menu. Try the sunchoke miso velouté and the poppyseed cheesecake. Pro tip: Visit their bottle shop in Bushwick for some wine to take home, too.
Pecking House Park Slope
What do you get when an Eleven Madison Park alum decides to go all in on fried chicken? You get Pecking House. Its chile fried chicken really is one of a kind — a special blending of influences from Nashville-style hot chicken and Taiwanese popcorn chicken — and worth a trip to Brooklyn. Don’t sleep on the oyster mushroom po’ boy or the dirty fried rice, either.
