Note: This list will be updated regularly with new additions each month, so be sure to check back often. For New York’s newest restaurant openings, head here.
Hutong New York Midtown East
Newly added!
While this elegant, opulent restaurant is best known for its highly prized Peking duck, you definitely don’t want to overlook their exquisitely crafted dim sum. Think pan-seared lobster bao, ibérico pork dumplings, and whole wheat konbo bonito xiao long bao. Is that your stomach growling, or ours?
London Lennie’s Rego Park
Newly added!
If you can’t make it across the pond for a good old-fashioned chippy, London Lennie’s is the next best thing. Here, the fish is crispy and golden and the chips are thick and hand-cut. If you prefer your seafood slightly more alive than fried, their raw bar is worth a trip all on its own.
Bomba Lounge Meatpacking District
Newly added!
It’s an after-work spot in Meatpacking that has the tendency to magically turn one drink into three, and before you know it you’re on the dance floor. Make your drink(s) a martini, and grab some fries for the table — it’s only polite.
390 Social Park Slope
Newly added!
We’re at 390 Social for the Sunday to Friday happy hour menu (think $10 wine pours, $1.50 oysters, and $8 pão de queijo) but the regular dinner experience is just as fun, with a mignonette martini that is awe-inspiring.
Kisa Lower East Side
Once you’ve made it to Kisa, the C as in Charlie team’s faithful ode to Korean kisa sikdangs (or beloved taxi-driver haunts), you only have one — admittedly, tough — decision ahead of you: to choose among four entrées like stir-fried squid and bulgogi, all of which come with a bountiful assortment of expertly crafted banchan, rice, and soup, all for $32. Hard part’s over — now, enjoy your bounty. It’s one of the best, and tastiest, deals in town.
Ootoya Times Square Times Square
Because you can trust Ootoya, which has been serving home-style Japanese dishes since 1958, and this sprawling Times Square location with the menu to match never disappoints. Come with a group and find comfort in dishes like katsu curry, grilled fish sets, sukiyaki nabe, and so much more.
Eléa Upper West Side
This upscale destination for Greek cuisine has all your favorites, like lamb kebab, lavraki crudo, and spanakopita done with a lot of care. The inside is just as picture perfect as the food, with a sparkling center bar from where you should most definitely order one of their house cocktails.
Barn Joo Union Square Union Square
Head here when you want dinner to feel like the main event on your night out. It’s a multi-floor, bumping Korean gastropub with bibimbap, barbecue sets, and a cocktail called a “fancy slushy.”
Kyma Flatiron Flatiron
It’s an answer to all your cravings for Greek food (and Greek vibes). At Kyma, there’s expertly grilled octopus, comforting avgolemono, juicy lamb chops, and highly snackable halloumi fries, all of which you can enjoy in their dining room that’s designed to make you feel like you’re on the coast of Santorini.
Book the Hudson Yards location here.
The Butcher’s Daughter – Brooklyn Williamsburg
If you’ve lived in New York for more than 10 minutes, you’ve probably either been to The Butcher’s Daughter or seen the crowds during brunch and thought “What’s that?” Now’s your chance to find out. Do know that the all-vegetarian menu has plenty of sleeper hits (order the jackfruit “crab” cake Benedict and thank us later).
Book the Nolita location here.
Siena Ristorante Brooklyn Gravesend
Eggplant parm, white pizza with mushrooms, rigatoni alla vodka, and all matter of housemade pastas, that happen to be 100% Kosher? Welcome to Siena Ristorante, a cozy Gravesend spot that’s ideal for a date night or a family dinner, especially if you need a spot for a group.
The Bar Downstairs & Kitchen Midtown
Enjoy the vibes and privacy of a speakeasy, without having to remember a password or which button on a fake vending machine to press. It’s located in the basement of the sleek and elegant Andaz Hotel, serving up classic cocktails and dishes like satisfying burgers, charcuterie boards, and Marcona almonds.
Superiority Burger East Village
Rejoice! Brooks Headley’s beloved East Village restaurant now takes reservations. While it’s known for its vegetarian takes on burgers, do not sleep on the experimental specials — think Marcella bean and escarole toast, Ezekiel bread grilled cheese — the must-order collard greens sandwich, or any of the incredible desserts.
Rice Thief Long Island City
Chances are you’ve seen Rice Thief’s Korean soy-marinated crabs all over your socials. Luckily for you, what was once a ghost kitchen in Sunnyside only doing delivery is now an LIC brick-and-mortar, so run, don’t walk, for an extended menu featuring marinated red shrimps, braised pig trotters, gamjatang, and so much more.
C as in Charlie NoHo
You likely haven’t had Korean American food quite like this before. At C as in Charlie, Salisbury steak is served on top of Gruyère grits with a galbi jus, and baby back ribs are glazed in harissa and gochuchang. Everything on the menu here combines Korean and Southern culinary traditions in fun, creative ways.
The Dutch Soho
The Dutch is chef Andrew Carmellini’s (Carne Mare, Café Carmellini, Bar Primi) house of comfort fare: Think fried chicken, biscuits, crab-stuffed deviled eggs, and caviar with warm brioche. We liken it to a great little black dress — you can make it fancy or casual, depending on your vibe for the night, and it always fits.
Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery NoHo
You’ve probably seen their viral Suprême round croissant, filled with flavors like pistachio and chocolate. But you should also know that Lafayette has a pitch-perfect all-day menu drawn from French classics — think foie torchon, dry-aged duck, and a brie-and-ham omelet during brunch.
The Library at The Public East Village
True to its name, this spot (housed in the home of The Public theater) has the vibes of a fancy home library with chicly decorated bookshelves and moody lighting. The menu, created by Andrew Carmellini and John Ramirez, is cheekily divided into “Acts” — Act I offers bites like fried blue cheese olives, while Act III promises heftier plates, like spicy vodka rigatoni and a miso glazed eggplant.
Bar Primi Bowery NoHo/East Village
Because this is the original location of Andrew Carmellini’s much-loved pasta shop, brimming with family recipes, handmade pasta, and pizza galore. Don’t come here without ordering the chittara and clams — you’ve been warned!
Leuca Williamsburg
Mafaldine in electric green pesto, crispy pork shank touched with spicy caper honey, expertly charred margarita pizza … that’s Leuca for you. Andrew Carmellini’s Southern Italian spot right near the Williamsburg waterfront is ideal for date night, or anytime you feel like indulging in some pasta or pizza.
Kahlo Hudson Yards
This Mexican spot bills itself as an homage to the great artist, Frida Kahlo. Here, they serve up elegant, inventive fare like black truffle esquites, tempura sea bass tacos, and shiitake and oyster mushrooms “al pastor.” Be sure to order one of their many zero-proof cocktails, too.
The Mermaid Inn – Chelsea Chelsea
At this location of one of New York’s favorite oyster bars and seafood spots, the windows are big and the sun always seems to be shining — especially if you order one of their cucumber martinis. The oyster happy hour and freshly fried fish tacos are there, too.
Petrarca Cucina e Vino New York
Because this Tribeca favorite is a family-run affair (the patriarch’s in the kitchen, the sons run the floor, the mother runs everything) known for their rustic Italian fare. Order the tortellini en brodo, homemade lasagna, and veal scallopini, and if the hundreds of Italian wine bottles lining the walls are intimidating, just ask Emilio for a recommendation.
Inside Park Restaurant Midtown East
Have your corn ribs, bratwurst, and mushroom risotto with a side of history. Inside Park is housed inside the historic St. Bartholomew’s Church, and you should know some of the proceeds from your meal help support the church’s work in the local community.
Kailash Parbat Kips Bay
It’s a vegetarian Indian spot that boasts more than 70 other locations worldwide, and for good reason. In Brooklyn, we’d recommend ordering the biryani, pani puri, and paneer tikka masala.
Giovanni’s Brooklyn Eats Park Slope
If there’s something on the menu that starts with “nonna’s,” you know we’re ordering it. Thankfully, this behavior is rewarded at Giovanni’s, where the nonna’s meatballs are a must-order. Round things out with gnocchi pomodoro and braised rabbit legs. Pro tip: Bottles of wine are half off on Mondays.
Sushi By M – Upper East Side Upper East Side
It’s the UES location of the rapidly expanding Sushi by M empire, headed by chef Tim Lin. He’s known for his fun takes on omakase tradition, like his signature “Big Mac” toro two ways, if you can snag one of the seats at the tasting counter.
