And if you’re seeking out some beloved New York spots that are now bookable on Resy, we’ve got you covered here.
Because it’s a dainty, elegant French spot from an Eleven Madison Park alum. The word here is beautiful — everything from the glassware to the food is picture-perfect. Do order the chilled langoustine and the show-stopping cote de veau.
It’s from the same team behind see-and-be-seen locale Catch, now with an extra dose of classic stylings. Think dover sole, ribeye, and shrimp cocktail, plus a whole section of the menu devoted to martini service. Cheers.
If you’ve ever been to LaRina Pastificio & Vino, you’re probably prepared to trust their chef with anything — especially a new-school trattoria like Briscola. Do know that the bomba di riso is required eating. Pro tip? If you’re the last seating of the night, you may get to learn how to play the namesake Italian card game with the staff.
As the name suggests, Dilly Dally is a great choice when you’re tired of stuffy, unfun dining. Here, things are more playful, between the giant meatballs, Kit-Cat clock, and bright red-light fixtures. Plus, the front booth is perfect for a larger group that enjoys curving windows and people watching.
You’ll never be bored at this LES cocktail bar. They’ve got everything from fortune tellers and secret rooms to herb gardens and bookshelves stuffed with bright pink volumes. In other words, expect the unexpected.
It’s acclaimed chef Alex Stupak’s (Empellón) answer to the city’s rising demand for seafood bars, complete with an all-day menu and shining raw offerings. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s located on the ground floor of the impeccably chic Manner Hotel, either.
Note: Reservations are available for Sept. 23 and beyond.
Head here for a dose of old New York style, on a truly grand scale. Housed within the historic Grand Central Terminal, Grand Brasserie is truly massive (400 seats!) and open from 5:30 a.m. until 2 a.m. Whether you’re dashing to catch your train or simply in the area, consider it for all the Parisian fare and steamy espresso you could desire.
It’s the return of a Parisian import we’ll gladly toast to, where the cocktails are just as the name suggests, and they’ll likely be some of the most memorable you’ve ever tasted. Your favorite classics are back — Kota Ternate included — along with a sizable collection of zero-proof cocktails and some rare French spirits, too. Save room for some gougéres au poivre served with a side of French Bordier butter, too.
It’s a French bistro meets art gallery — the spot is in partnership with the famed camera company, Leica — serving up towers of highly photogenic fresh seafood, green salads, and glasses of bubbles.
Soaring ceilings, lovely local mural art on the walls, sleek, contemporary design, and full-length windows opening onto Broadway set the scene for the unpretentious and outstanding Italian fare at this neighborhood gem.
Head here for perfectly steamed baskets of brightly colored dim sum, like crystal shrimp and crab dumplings and crispy pastries in the shape of swans. Don’t forget an order of the lobster porridge but be sure to bring friends — that dish alone can serve up to six.
It’s a taste of Mexico City, without ever having to leave Manhattan, with a crowd-pleasing menu that zeroes in on coastal ingredients and traditions, from grilled garlic shrimp and octopus carpaccio to coconut ceviche and squash blossom tacos.
The ground level of Only Love Strangers is where you’ll discover this Mexican restaurant that exemplifies comfort food perfectly: Think perfectly charred esquite, roasted wild mushroom tlayudas, satisfying chile rellenos, and slow-cooked birria and barbacoa. The namesake comida corrida set meal is one of the best deals in town, and you definitely don’t want to sleep on the drinks.
The groundbreaking chef behind Jungsik is never one to play things safe, and with SEA, he’s diving headfirst into Southeast Asian cuisine in creative, playful ways that reimagine time-honored dishes and ingredients to delicious effect.
P.S. Read more about SEA here.
Malibu and Montecito’s favorite steakhouse has finally made its way to the East Coast from California. New Yorkers, consider yourselves very lucky, because Lucky’s knows how to do the classics right. You can’t go wrong with any of the steaks or chops, but don’t overlook the sides, especially the skinny onion rings, Herbie’s potato skins, and market mushrooms.
FiDi’s favorite kosher steakhouse has now made its way to Midtown, serving all your steakhouse favorites alongside other unexpected dishes — sushi, anyone? In short, there’s a little something for everyone, but we’re partial to the olive-fed wagyu steaks.
Roasted cauliflower with salsa verde, green apple and chorizo mussels, and olive oil cake with peach sorbet … that’s Boni & Mott. It’s a Mediterranean spot fittingly located on Mott Street, with a wine list you shouldn’t ignore and a vibe inside that’s just the right amount of sexy for a date night out.
Because it’s finally a chance to experience the best of both worlds — daytime breakfast from Okonomi and nighttime Yuji Ramen — without having to come back another day (or wait several hours) at their usual Brooklyn location. At this pop-up in Manhattan, you’ll be able to try both Japanese concepts at the same time, all in one place. Expect classics like roasted dry-aged fish collar, tuna- and chicken-based ramen, and grilled eel over rice.
It’s the latest spot from the team behind Korean mainstays like Her Name is Han, Ariari, and Seoul Salon, serving up a seasonally rotating pre-fixe menu from an Onjium alum.
The centerpiece here is inarguably the midnight-blue upright piano, upon which live music is played nightly. There are also “strong drinks” (say less) at So & So’s, which is housed in the boutique Romer Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen.
Head here for fresh omakase from chef Jiro, who has been a sushi chef for almost 40 years, so you know you’re in good hands. Choose between 15 or 19 courses and make sure to BYOB (do note the $20 corkage fee, though).
With in-your-face, mesmerizing lighting and flowing drinks, this place knows how to keep the party going.
It’s Italian kosher fare done exceptionally well, with an entirely pescatarian menu. Think lovely crudo, satisfying pastas, and plenty of fresh fish.
It’s one of Seoul’s most critically acclaimed restaurants, where the Michelin-starred tasting menu of modern Korean cuisine revolves around the restaurants housemade mother sauce, jang. And it should be noted — this isn’t a second location of the restaurant; it’s an original. Chef Shin Chang-ho closed the restaurant in Seoul and moved it specifically to New York’s Koreatown.
What started as a temporary pop-up is now a full-fledged brick-and-mortar (replacing the former Hancock St.), celebrating Hong Kong diner cuisine in all its delicious, satisfying glory. Think caviar canapés and sweet-and-sour pork and siu mai skewers, char siu cobb salad, and XO fried rice from a pair of veteran chefs.
This lovely sequel from the same team behind Potluck Club builds on their delicious evolution of Cantonese American cuisine with colorful, flavorful twists on Cantonese classics. Better yet, it’s located right in the heart of Manhattan Chinatown.
There’s never been a better time for enjoying Thai food in New York, and Bangbang is no exception. It’s a small spot from the same team behind Maomao that you can’t miss, thanks to their gorgeous red front door. Once you’re in, they’ll take care of the rest with an exciting, inventive 10-course tasting menu.
Craving udon? Go right to the master, serving up both cold and hot versions of their signature dish. We’re partial to the kitsune with fried bean curd or the nishin with Hokkaido herring.
This sleek drinking den on Bowery showcases carefully crafted cocktails with plenty of bite, perfect for a night out on the town.
Look no further than Little Hen for a proper English tea service. With locations in Miami, Houston, and Weston, they’ve put in the work and perfected their English-style breakfast and brunch. Go for the tea, obviously, or the rose petal pancakes and short ribs Benedict.
