Now on Resy: Leon’s, Ippudo, The Musket Room, and More Local Favorites

With its retro New York digs, spruced-up comfort food dishes, and general cush and charm, Anton’s is like the best dinner party in the city, and you’re on the list.

Read more about Anton’s here. 

Head here for classic American fare, ranging from bacon-topped deviled eggs to smashburgers melty with cheese. The warm, bright interior doesn’t hurt, either.

We’re suckers for good, New York Italian cuisine, and Bayside’s Primo Amore fits that bill to a tee. Order the eggplant rollatini, clams casino, and rigatoni vodka and you’re set.

Spicy feta, citrus-doused tuna tartare, ground beef kibbeh, and lahmacun (flatbread) are all excellent reasons to visit Zoi. The $13 happy hour spritzes are just icing on the cake.

It’s one of the many locations worldwide (including Hudson Yards and 55th Street) of chef and restaurateur Costa Spiliadis’ temple to Greek dining. Salt baked fish, charred octopus, and an astounding number of wines by the glass never hurt anyone.

You can’t help but stare at the glowing quartz-style bar here, but know that once you sit down you’re in for just as much of a treat. Go for the truffle parm fries and an Eyes Wide Shut cocktail.

It’s a moody basement bar and lounge underneath Greenwich Village’s Reyna. Red curtains, candle-laden fireplaces, and craft cocktails abound.

This is Paris, Upper East Side style. Go for artichokes vinaigrette, garlic butter escargots, and the Sunday-only coq au vin. Wine? Oui.

This spot celebrates Korean cuisine, specifically zeroing in on favorites from the southern parts of the country — thus the name, which means “the southern province.” Kimchi fried rice and an iced persimmon dessert? Don’t mind if we do.

It’s the Midtown location of a now-ubiquitous and much loved ramen specialist, serving up tonkatsu-style broth with a long list of topping choices. Grab a glass of sake for good measure.

Near the heart of Times Square, this branch of the archetypal ramen expert serves up the same beloved tonkatsu broth in a buzzing, nearly subterranean space.

This is prime Harlem elegance housed in an old horse stable, serving up excellent Afro-Creole cuisine. Splurge on blue cornbread and caviar, crab beignets, and their French onion soup double smash burger.

This is where you should head to get fresh housemade pasta alongside a spicy salmon roll and steak nachos. Oh, and an espresso martini. In other words, bring your most indecisive friend.

Head to Okatte Tanto for an izakaya-style menu of Japanese classics. The showstopper has to be the raw bluefin tuna rib, served on the bone and in limited quantity.

Gui is a quality steakhouse with Korean sensibility, which means you’ll enjoy a meal of marinated galbi, Wagyu katsu sandos, and sundubu jjigae. It’s ideal for pre- or post-theater dining, especially when you add on a black and white cake for dessert. 

Who wouldn’t want to dine on award-winning omakase and à la carte dishes from one of the world’s most famous sushi chefs while sitting underneath priceless works of art? The spot’s proximity to the Gagosian Gallery makes it an experience unlike any other in the city.  

This is not your average hotel bar, which won’t be a surprise for those familiar with the W Union Square. Here, the windows are tall and the chairs are plush and comfortable, so have a few rounds and take it in. 

Yakitori is never a bad idea, but yakitori served until midnight is really, really never a bad idea. Go for the pork belly-wrapped enoki, pork jowl, and chicken wings after an evening at the bars. 

The biggest draw at Bazar (both literally and figuratively) has got to be the paellas for two, served in a behemoth of a pan and overflowing with shrimp, octopus, mussels, squid, and chorizo. Swoon.  

It shares a kitchen with the ubiquitous Masa, serving an à la carte menu filled with dishes like sizzling octopus and chef Masayoshi Takayama’s famous toro tartare caviar. Some of the bartenders have been there since the doors opened, too, so trust them to guide you through the menus.  

Lex makes an effort to make every evening spent here special, with fresh-cut flowers on the table and flickering candlelight by which to enjoy your pappardelle with veal ragu and steamed white wine mussels.
