Rosso East Village
Newly Added This Week!
When you’re in want of satisfying snacks and excellent wines, head to this East Village spot where you’ll find all of the above with a decidedly Mediterranean influence. Think burrata and tomato fritters, fluffy focaccia, and a beef Milanese with a katsu sando twist. Oh, and Basque cheesecake, too.
Midnight Blue Gramercy Park
Newly Added This Week!
There’s very little we wouldn’t trust the Martiny’s team with, especially a swanky cocktail bar in Gramercy that also happens to have live jazz music. Head here for their whiskey “library” wall, plus a selection of characteristically inventive drinks and excellent small bites.
OASES New York
Newly Added This Week!
Ayurvedic principles ground the menu here: Think lots of tea, locally sourced produce, and an artfully designed dining room that’s reminiscent of a modern art museum.
BOKAGUÁ The Bronx
Newly Added This Week!
Dominican food? 10 out of 10. Asian food? Equally so. Dominican Asian food? You get the picture. Bokaguá combines elements of both cuisines and culinary traditions to delicious effect — think black cod croquettes with yuzu aioli and tuna tartare with cassava hash and sambal — for an experience that’s both fun and interesting.
George Southern Greek Lenox Hill
Newly Added This Week!
Chicken souvlaki, spanakopita, lemon potatoes … that would be more than enough for most, but George puts things over the edge with their selection of choice Greek wines, too. Pro tip? Come for lunch and happy hour (both start at 11 a.m.) if you’re in need of a treat.
Amo Seafood New York
Head here for Neapolitan seafood specialties like zuppa di pesce and risotto alla pescatora. And do keep an eye out for rotating proteins — freshness and availability is paramount at Amo, which is from the same esteemed team behind Ribalta, one of our favorites for fresh Neapolitan pasta and pizza in the city.
Mission Ceviche Union Square Union Square
It’s the much-loved Upper East Side cevicheria, now located in Union Square. Expect the same fresh Nikkei-inspired dishes, plus the addition of tableside ceviche and a sprawling sushi bar.
Note: Mission Ceviche Union Square opens on July 24. Find out more about it, and the original Upper East Side location of Mission Ceviche, here.
Quin Bar with Priceless Hudson Yards
As if custom crystal ice cubes, heirloom blue corn bread with Ossetra caviar, and lobster rolls weren’t enough, Quin Bar also happens to be a sleek choice for a drink with a view from the tallest building in Hudson Yards. Pro tip: They also host live DJs Tuesday through Thursday.
Realmuto New York
This all-day café boasts everything you could possibly want — from fresh cornetti and bomboloni from an award-winning pastry chef, Giuseppe Zito, to satisfying Italian dishes like housemade cappellacci alla norma and a non-negotiable fava and pecorino tartlet for lunch and dinner. Pro tip: Do consider stopping by for an aperitivo, where they take spritzes and ice-cold prosecco very seriously.
KRAAM Nomad
It’s a bright, beautiful Thai restaurant that lives up to its name (kraam means indigo in Thai), and comes from an alum of JoJo by Jean-Georges and Hutong. They’re serving up modern takes on classic dishes; think fusilli kee mao, for example. Don’t sleep on the tom kha artichoke soup or the wok-fried razor clams.
Roberta’s – Penn District Penn District
Head here for all the joys of the famed Bushwick pizzeria, now right near Penn Station. Do order as many pizzas as you can fit on your table, plus a glass or two of one of their excellent natural wines.
Le Veau d’Or Lenox Hill
It’s a revival of a famed French eatery that dates back to 1937, brought back to us by the duo behind Frenchette and Le Rock. Do know that the menu is prix-fixe, but the options are anything but limited. Think pâté en croûte, frogs legs persillade, and chicken fricassée.
Parcelle Greenwich Village West Village
It’s an expansion of the Dimes Square wine bar that exudes effortless cool, now with more substantial food (think steak, duck confit, and sea bream) and a unique-to-them list of more than 500 hard to find bottles.
Read more about it here.
Wonderland East Village
It’s the sister bar to midtown Szechuan hotspot, Chili, with all the same trappings and grandeur. Think booth seating inside giant bird cages, butterfly sconces, and elaborate cocktails that often involve smoke and fire.
Thirteen Water West Chelsea
It’s the second outpost of the much-lauded omakase-only destination from the Ume Hospitality Group (Shinn, Sanyuu), where offerings combine layers of smoked, cooked, and raw ingredients for innovative sushi that’s as special as it comes.
Wildflower Chelsea
True to its name, stepping into Wildflower feels like stepping into a fairytale garden, with greenery covering the walls and ceilings. The food, from chef Ignacio Martinez, can be just as magical. Think fried cornichons, chicken schnitzel with a warm potato salad, and a burger with gorgonzola dolce.
The AM – THAI Williamsburg
As the name suggests, this South Williamsburg spot celebrates American Thai cuisine in all its delightful, spice-filled glory. That means spicy beef tacos that incorporate Southern Thai-style kua kling; kee mao spaghetti with bacon; and salt-and-pepper bacon fried rice, to name a few. They’re just a few of the dishes coming from the innovative mind of chef Boonnum Thongngoen of Am Thai Bistro in Park Slope and the now-closed Thai Cook in Elmhurst.
Nōmé Union Square
French and Japanese flavors combine to delicious effect at this new restaurant helmed by chef Santiago Chiuz. Think tuna crudo with tiger’s milk and passion fruit pearls, steelhead trout fillet kissed by a charcoal grill, and a must-order burger that features beef sourced from two different countries and took nearly a year to perfect. P.S. Did we mention the menu is entirely Kosher and dairy-free, too?
Café Kestrel Red Hook
Head here for cozy, comforting bistro-style dining in what might be Brooklyn’s most secluded, and charming neighborhoods. On the menu you’ll find steak tartare, daily grilled steaks, and soupe du jour (“on stormy days”).
Ikigai Fort Greene
It’s a Japanese kaiseki specialist in Fort Greene, with a pedigreed chef at the helm, and inventive dishes like cacio e pepe udon and duck with sansho pepper and plum purée. Did we also mention it’s a nonprofit? Proceeds from the restaurant go toward Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, a food-waste repurposing organization. Eat good, feel good, as they say.
Blacktail at Back Bar Chelsea/Midtown
Bonus
Move quickly if you want to score a spot at this limited-time-only revival of Blacktail, which was once the sister bar to New York’s iconic The Dead Rabbit. They’re known for their Havana-style cocktails like daiquiris and their housemade rum and cola. Plus, while it’s housed in Back Bar, they’ve updated the interior to be more reminiscent of the original for a truly immersive vibe.
Eel Bar Lower East Side
It’s the Basque sibling to beloved favorites Cervo’s, Hart’s, and The Fly, a restaurant team we’d follow pretty much anywhere. There’s no eel on the menu, but you will find gildas, rainbow trout pil pil, baked oysters, and black rice a la plancha. Don’t skip one of their vermouth-forward cocktails, either.
Ocean Club Montauk Montauk
This is classic yacht-club dining with stunning ocean views and a practiced, accomplished South African chef at the helm. Do order whatever you can from the raw bar, the Montauk shrimp with beurre noisette, and the triple-cooked French fries for the table.
midnight by navarro’s Midtown West
Housed within the Midnight Theatre not far from Hudson Yards, it’s a seasonal French Californian one-stop spot from Christian Navarro, a longtime fixture of the food and wine industry. Encompassing a restaurant and street-level wine bar, as well as a performance space, it’s ideal for a meal or a drink before or after your show.
KABIN Hudson Square
It’s a Nordic-inspired cocktail bar (think crisp, clean lines, and Scandinavian minimalist design) that’s the first-ever hospitality venture from cool-girl owner Alex Tangen. Expect Swedish meatballs, oysters, and pickled mackerel on a menu that was developed by D.C-based, Michelin-starred chef Johnny Spero.
Note: Reservations are available for June 26 and beyond.
SAE RON Lower East Side
Skate wing jjim, baby-back ribs glazed in yuzu garlic, and cocktails made with honeydew puree … Need we say more? Sae Ron serves up modern Korean fare with a cheeky twist — do try the Soondubu in Hell with spicy veggie broth — in their sleek space.
Bar Whimsy Chelsea
Because it’s a cocktail bar from the team behind the wildly successful DDOBAR (and subsequently, Joomak Banjum) housed in the same Olly Olly market. At Bar Whimsy, the name is the word, with spirit-forward, fun, craft cocktails and a cozy, low-lit space to drink them in.
Note: Reservations are available for July 2 and beyond.
Champagne Problems Nolita
It’s a speakeasy from a team that knows how to do a speakeasy (see Not A Speakeasy and The UES), “hidden” behind a wall of chip bags. Once inside, it’s Instagram opulence come to life, complete with an enormous Champagne glass where guests can sit inside, a giraffe statue kneeling on the bar, and murals, appropriately, of Taylor Swift.
Café Maud East Village
It’s an all-day cafe serving up healthy-ish bites and craft cocktails from the team behind nearby Jackdaw. Plus, it’s connected to an Irish speakeasy, The Rhymers’ Club, that sits right next door if you want to keep your night going.
Nomad Tea Parlour NoMad
Because it’s a Cantonese gem with all the right influences — including classic New York and Hong Kong street markets. Think plum sauce roast duck, lobster spring rolls, and Coca-Cola chicken wings, plus (obviously) a long list of teas and tea-based cocktails.
Sushi Saint Hunters Point
Head here for an uber intimate, 10-seat sushi counter experience. Did we mention Michelin-starred chef Michael Collantes is sometimes behind the counter? It’s hard to go wrong.
The Rhymers’ Club East Village
It’s an Irish speakeasy inspired by the poetry club of the same name that once included William Butler Yeats. Pay close attention to the street numbers when you visit — you won’t find a name above the door, to add to the illusion.
BARBAM Koreatown
Smoking pinecones, absurdly red strawberries coated in sugar, and ceramic teapots are all accompaniments to the inventive drinks you’ll find here. It’s a Korean “fine drinking” spot, intended to bring a taste of the country’s cocktail history and traditions to NYC.
