Buddakan – New York Meatpacking District
Newly added!
This opulent ode to Asian flavors and cuisines, from the same restaurateur behind Pastis, Le Coucou, and Upland remains truly iconic. Do know that no order is complete without the edamame dumplings in a delicate shallot-and-sauternes broth, and you might as well also include the tea-smoked spareribs while you’re at it. Pro tip: If you’re dining with a crew of four or more, try a little bit of all the greatest hits by opting for one of the four tasting menus, ranging from $90 to $130 per person.
Chrissy’s Pizza East Village
Newly added!
It’s the wildly popular pizza spot that first started as a pop-up out of owner Chris Hansell’s Bushwick apartment. Hansell’s pizza is best described as new New York — a slightly cheffier version of the pizzas he’d share with his father as a kid growing up just outside of Queens.
The Lonesome Club Windsor Terrace
Newly added!
It’s a charming Irish pub right in the heart of Windsor Terrace. They take comfort food very seriously here: Think bangers and mash, chicken pot pie, and corned beef sliders. Don’t forget your pint of Guinness to wash it all down, either.
DAE Carroll Gardens
Newly added!
Dae is what would happen if your cool friend from art school decided to open a café that serves coffee by day and wine by night. Inside, it’s almost like a museum with for-sale bespoke pieces surrounding the tables — if that museum also happened to have great cocktails and lovely small bites like warm salami and olives.
Barano South Williamsburg

Newly added!
If you’re a sucker for a wood-fired pizza, smoked mozzarella, and handmade pasta, look no further: Barano is always good idea — its casual elegance is great for impressing without seeming like you’re trying to impress. And the food is truly stellar.

Thai Food Near Me Murray Hill
Newly added!
When you’re in the mood for exactly what the name suggests, Thai Food Near Me won’t steer you wrong. Head here for papaya salad and crispy red duck curry — whether you’re near, or not.
S’Aimer NYC Times Square
Newly added!
Escargots, pulled oxtail, sweet plantains, and pommes purée are all on offer at S’Aimer, a French Caribbean spot situated right near Times Square. Do order the French Kiss Martini, made with pineapple rum, to drink while you’re at it.
Queen’s Room Astoria
Newly added!
Queen’s Room in Queens (say that five times fast) is ideal for a quick bite or date if you’re in the neighborhood. Do order the eggs Milano and chicken and hot waffles if you happen to be there for brunch, which you most definitely should be.
East Harlem Bottling Co. East Harlem
Newly added!
You might be heading to East Harlem Bottling Co. for the 20 craft brews on tap (or the full bar), but we’re here to tell you not to sleep on the food. Order the burger towering with fried pickles, the bang bang cauliflower, and andouille mac and cheese.
Oishi & Townhouse 275 Bay Ridge
Newly added!
The ramen here would be worth the trip to Bay Ridge (no matter where you’re coming from) alone, but the bao buns with pork belly and the Korean chicken wings really take Oishi over the edge. Don’t skip the enormous list of cocktails, either.
La Pulperia Hell’s Kitchen Hell's Kitchen
Newly added!
Head here for a crowd-pleasing menu of salted cod croquettes, octopus paella, and guacamole, plus a very good house margarita. Pro tip: Their drag brunch is a sleeper hit, with unlimited mimosas for 90 minutes, and just $40 per person.
SORA Sunset Park
Newly added!
It’s a Brooklyn omakase experience that showcases both fresh fish and highly curated art. Choose between 15 and 18 courses, both under $200, to enjoy while you let your eyes feast, too.
Sempre Oggi Upper West Side
Newly added!
Directly translated to “always today,” this cozy spot specializes in Italian classics with an expert, contemporary twist. Choose from dishes like scallop crudo, sweet-and-sour braised rabbit, and orecchiette with braised dandelion greens.
CUT – New York Tribeca
Newly added!
It’s the legendary Wolfgang Puck’s power lunch (and dinner) spot housed within the Four Seasons Hotel downtown. Think decadent Wagyu black truffle sliders, perfectly seared Maine scallops, and juicy steaks.
Vert Frais Long Island City
Newly added!
Because it’s a botanical garden-themed Japanese restaurant complete with soufflé pancakes, ramen, coffee, and cocktails. Don’t sleep on their take on omurice, either.
The Irish Exit Midtown South
Newly added!
It’s an Irish pub housed in the Moynihan Train Hall from the same team behind The Dead Rabbit, there for you whether you need a regular coffee or an Irish one before you catch your train.
L’Apéro by L’Appartement 4F Brooklyn Heights
It’s the nighttime counterpart to Brooklyn Heights’ most viral bakery, L’Appartement 4F. Think candelabras, butter served in seashells, and plenty of natural wine. Plus, we’ve heard there’s romance in the air here, so do consider bringing a date or meeting a future one here, if you feel so inclined.
Sushi Katsuei Brooklyn Park Slope
When sushi is both super fresh and easy on the wallet, we’re pretty much sold. And that’s certainly the case at Park Slope’s Sushi Katsuei, where you can enjoy your signature rolls alongside orders of raw oysters with ponzu, shrimp shumai, and daikon salad.
The Milling Room Upper West Side
Named for the 19th-century millhouse that the building once housed, The Milling Room gives a sweet dose of history to go with an always satisfying meal. Do try the Australian lamb loin or the chilled corn velouté.
Modern Love Brooklyn Williamsburg
Modern Love’s a beloved spot for vegan and plant-based comfort food — think nachos with walnut chorizo, oyster mushroom “calamari,” and shakes with housemade cashew olive oil ice cream. Pro tip: Their brunch is a crowd pleaser for everyone, and be sure to order the Belgian waffle or tofu Benedict.
Gotham West Market – dell’anima, etc. Hell's Kitchen
If you’re partial to choices, this spot is for you. You can reserve seats at this food market hall at a variety of different stalls, including dell’anima, La Palapa, Gorin Ramen, and many more. The only decision you’ll need to make is where to start.
Zona Rosa Brooklyn Williamsburg
You’ve probably set eyes on Zona Rosa as you walk to or from the L stop at Lorimer Street. It’s the sprawling, multi-story patio restaurant that always looks like a good time. Come here with a group for pitchers of margaritas and tacos to spare.
Marcellino Little Italy
Head here for a classic Little Italy red-sauce joint, complete with housemade pasta and pizza. Don’t skip the shrimp fra diavolo or the veal parmigiana, and do sit on the sidewalk patio if it’s nice out.
Korkscrew Bistro Bedford-Stuyvesant
Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or brunch you crave, Korkscrew has you covered. We’re partial to the smoked salmon eggs Benedict or the pork chops and mashed potatoes, both best enjoyed in the sun outside with a cocktail in hand.
Lucia Alimentari Soho
This sister spot from Lucia Pizza of Soho operates as a coffee shop by day and transforms into one of the loveliest little wine bars in the city by night, with one of our favorite pairings: pizza, of course. And not just any pizza at that.
Forever Thai Bushwick
If you love Bushwick’s Klom Klorm, chances are you’ll also love this spot where classic Thai flavors shine in an elegant setting. They’ve got all your favorite standards, as well as a few twists — pad Thai lobster tail, anyone?
New Chinatown Restaurant and Bar Upper East Side
Lush and sleek, this Upper East Side spot has something for everyone, whether you’re craving juicy Chinese soup dumplings and warming Thai Massaman curry to Taiwanese popcorn chicken and refreshing cold sesame noodles. Pro tip: Lunch specials are offered daily, and they can’t be beat.
Kimoto Rooftop Downtown Brooklyn
It’s one of downtown Brooklyn’s most expansive rooftops, serving up a satisfying menu of American comfort foods through a distinctively Asian lens. That means Kobe beef double bacon cheeseburgers, garlic fried rice, sushi rolls, and crispy chive cakes. And plenty of drinks, from bottle service to a must-order frozen painkiller.
Slate NY Flatiron
When you’re looking for a night out that doesn’t just involve food, consider this sprawling complex where you can take in everything from comedy shows, live music, and live performances to bowling, ping pong, billiards, foosball, giant Jenga, arcade games, and even a 20-foot slide. But do know the menu of bar bites more than matches the range of all the activities you can partake in, too, with lots of shareable plates, pizza, and a robust cocktail list.
Cloves Indian Cuisine NoMad
Critically acclaimed chef Vijay Bhargava (formerly of Raga Indian Restaurant Midtown) consulted on the menu for this welcoming and warm spot, where regional cuisine from Northern India gets the spotlight. Standards like samosas, shrimp balchao, goat curry, and tandoori chicken are all done exceptionally well, but you don’t want to overlook signature specials like the tandoori lamb chops or lobster masala.
Hellbender Ridgewood
This spot from the same team behind Rolo’s puts forth a bold menu from chef Yara Herrera and a list of killer drinks. It’s open every day until late, with the kitchen serving food until midnight Monday through Saturday and until 11 p.m. on Sundays. Think spicy pineapple margaritas and a smoky carajillo to an ice-cold gin martini, sizzlin’ fajitas, aguachile, and shrimp fried rice.
Bricklane Curry House – East Village East Village
When you think of O.G. Indian restaurants in the city, Brick Lane has to be at the top of the list. Open since 2002 and probably most well known for their Phaal challenge (hint: it involves extremely spicy curry), Brick Lane has become a beloved fixture of the city for its British-style Indian fare. All your favorite standards are there, but don’t overlook chef’s specials like the mango fish and prawn curry, or the lamb shank Roganjosh.
Arepa Lady Astoria Astoria
Go here for beloved Columbian classics like plantains with shredded chicken and, of course, those incredible arepas stuffed with cheese. The spot was born from a Jackson Heights food cart that was around for 30 years, serving the neighborhood a healthy dose of comfort you can now enjoy while sitting down.
Tao Downtown New York
It’s Tao Group’s massive downtown pan-Asian eatery, with an enormous statue of Buddha in the center of the dining room and multiple darkly lit levels. Order the lychee martini and that much-Instagrammed giant fortune cookie for dessert.
Congee Village Lower East Side
A beloved Lower East Side institution, Congee Village is made for groups. Come for the namesake silky congee topped with salted chicken and the sea cucumber with braised abalone. Stay for the karaoke rooms that rival any hovering around 34th Street.
