8282
Bib Gourmand | Lower East Side
This high-spirited Lower East Side take on contemporary Korean dining, from the couple who ran the popular Pado in the East Village, serves a small menu of irresistible dishes, weaving Mexican, Italian, and other influences into the mix.
Agi's Counter
Bib Gourmand | Crown Heights
Owner-chef Jeremy Salamon channels his Hungarian and Jewish grandmothers at this engaging all-day café and pastry shop, with its menu of Jewish deli and Hungarian specialties. While the restaurant has amassed a brunch following, they also have a standout dinner menu that’s not to be missed. Pro tip: Hit the bakery on Wednesdays and Thursdays for an exceptional New York-style cheesecake, on Fridays for sachertorte, or on Sundays for doughnuts.
Alta Calidad
Bib Gourmand | Prospect Heights
At Alta Calidad, chef Akhtar Nawab delivers truly creative Mexican cuisine. We may never stop thinking about the seasonal quesadilla, last served with pumpkin blossoms, or the crispy Brussels sprouts with guajillo chile honey and lemon. And the margaritas are also top tier, of course.
Ammazzacaffè
Bib Gourmand | East Williamsburg
You’ll definitely want a seat on the brick-framed patio (or in the brick-lined dining room) at this warm Williamsburg Italian restaurant, where housemade pasta from veteran chef Gary Tackett is a specialty. Don’t leave without the eponymous ammazzacaffè, or coffee-killer — a shot of amaro or something equally spirited to soften the caffeine effect.
ATLA NOHO
Bib Gourmand | Noho
What happens when a fine dining chef opens a more casual spot? Hopefully for them, it’s something like Atla. Enrique Olvera’s take on the all-day genre is riveting, from the breakfast bites and light-drenched space to the mezcal selection. Plus, as Cosme’s little sister, it similarly wows in the simplest of ways (see the cheese quesadilla). Pro tip: When the chilaquiles are on the menu, run, don’t walk.
Bangkok Supper Club
Exceptional Cocktails | Meatpacking District
Fans of Fish Cheeks, rejoice! This sister restaurant has everything you love about the original, with a slightly fancier feel. Think deep banquets and a fiercely chef-driven menu that embraces Thai street food in ways that you’ve probably never seen (or tasted) before.
Bonnie's
Bib Gourmand | Williamsburg
Brooklyn-born chef Calvin Eng named his modestly sized Williamsburg Cantonese American restaurant after his mom — who, he says, taught him everything he knows about classic Cantonese cooking, with a uniquely New York lens. Pro tip: Save room for the showstopping fish entrée.
Bungalow
Bib Gourmand | East Village
We’d trust the team behind beloved Gramercy spot GupShup and acclaimed chef Vikas Khanna with whatever they do, and Bungalow, their ode to Indian country club cuisine, does not disappoint. Do order the spice-roasted pineapple, paneer chandni, and one of each of the breads.
Café Boulud at Maison Barnes
\* | Upper East Side
Café Boulud is back, and we couldn’t be happier. Daniel Boulud’s resurrection of his beloved café serves the quintessential French American cuisine that made him famous on the Upper East Side.
C as in Charlie
Bib Gourmand | 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.
Cervo’s
Bib Gourmand | Lower East Side
As the Manhattan sister restaurant to perfect-neighborhood-restaurant Hart’s (of Bed-Stuy), you’ll find the same beloved lamb burger here, plus a strong selection of Portuguese-inspired seafood. Pro tip: Always get an order of the crispy shrimp heads.
César
\\ | Hudson Square
This is the namesake restaurant from the storied and critically acclaimed chef César Ramirez. You’ll find plenty to love on the 13-course tasting menu, overflowing with unique specialty ingredients and fresh, innovative interpretations. And yes, rejoice: His famous uni toast is still on the menu.
Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare
\\ | Hell’s Kitchen
When it comes to iconic fine-dining institutions in New York, Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare is a no-brainer. Even with two new chefs leading the kitchen now, do expect the same exquisite tasting menus and steadfast commitment to quality that you’ve known them for all these years.
CheLi – Manhattan
Bib Gourmand | East Village
Shanghainese classics aside from xialongbao finally get their rightful due at this stunning restaurant on Saint Mark’s Place where you can feast on wine-soaked crab, crispy eel in sweet-and-sour sauce, and sea urchin egg tofu stew, among other thrilling delicacies.
COQODAQ
Bib Gourmand | Flatiron
The Korean steakhouse masters behind COTE have taken their talents to fried chicken, crafting both American and Korean chicken preparations in a cathedral-like space. Pro tip: We’d go for the Bucket List feast, if we were you.
Corima
\* | Chinatown
Contra alumnus Fidel Caballero is behind this exciting Mexican restaurant in the heart of Chinatown where you can expect tasting menus, a chef’s counter, and a standout à la carte menu featuring fiercely regional Northern Mexican ingredients and techniques drawn from around the globe. Don’t sleep on the drinks, either, many of which feature sotol and other agave-based spirits you may or may not have had before.
COTE Flatiron
\* | Flatiron
Everyone’s favorite contemporary Korean barbecue is known for their $64 Butcher’s Feast, but if you really want to go all out, you’ll want to order the steak omakase, aka the Grand Tour, which takes your carnivorous dining experience to another level with a focus on dry-aged cuts. Can’t seem to get a Resy? Here’s how to get in.
Covacha
Bib Gourmand | Upper West Side
The beloved Cafe Frida is now Covacha, and here, owner Christina Castañeda showcases the food and culture of Western Mexico, especially from the state of Jalisco. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on ordering the signature guacamole and the aguachile.
Crown Shy
\* | Financial District
Arguably one of FiDi’s most exciting restaurant, Crown Shy is the very impressive project from industry vet James Kent. Within the walls of this art-deco skyscraper, James unleashes his vision of New American dining, overdelivering every step of the way. You only need to look at their pull-apart loaf, the creation of pastry chef Renata Ameni — maybe the most talked-about bread of 2019. The wine list, Ameni’s desserts, and the perfect roast chicken are also unforgettable.
Restaurant Daniel
\* | Upper East Side
Daniel Boulud has completely revamped his flagship, in partnership with a host of luxury brands, to take diners on a trip to the south of France. But worry not, you’ll get the same high-touch service, world-class cellar, and a stellar prix fixe of Mediterranean-tinged classics like bouillabaisse and salt-baked fish.
Dhamaka
Bib Gourmand | Lower East Side
Because if you can expect anything from the team behind Adda and Semma, it’s deliciously unapologetic Indian food. And Dhamaka follows suit, hopping from region to region to offer a taste of the everyday street food locals love. Simply put, New York hasn’t seen this particular facet of Indian cuisine just yet.Here’s how to get in.
Dirt Candy
\* | Lower East Side
Leave it to Amanda Cohen to still be blowing to smithereens every preconceived notion about vegetarian dining. The chef-owner of Dirt Candy is a James Beard nominee, a pioneer of the vegetable-forward culinary movement, and a leader intent on building a better industry: Thanks to a no-tipping system, the entire team shares equally in the restaurant’s profits. Her layered plates elate, but they’re also a lot of fun.
Eleven Madison Park
\\\* | Flatiron
When New York’s fine dining temple turned fully plant based, many were skeptical … But if anyone can do it, it’s Eleven Madison Park, whose kitchen team continues to push the boundaries of what food should look and taste like. Look no further than the bread course, whose dairy-free butter (of course) is a dazzling feat in and of itself.
Essential by Christophe
\* | Upper West Side
Chef Christophe Bellanca’s Upper West Side gem is a destination for French-inspired food that’s both classically French but also contemporary and of the moment: think scallops with stuffed cabbage and black truffles; or Leo’s Favorite Burger, made with prime beef, fresh tomatoes, Vermont cheddar, and caramelized onions and served with crispy frites.
Estela
\* | NoLita
Estela has been tantalizing the Nolita crowds since its opening in 2013. Mediterranean-influenced and brilliant, it is a gleaming example of a small plates restaurant, where inventive dishes like the endive salad (dotted with anchovies and walnuts) and ricotta dumplings (topped with paper-thin mushrooms and pecorino sardo) have earned cult followings.
Family Meal at Blue Hill
\* | Greenwich Village
Named for the communal meal that restaurant staffers share before a shift, this intimate, low-lit restaurant just off Washington Square Park is where you can experience the hyperlocal, seasonal cooking and ingredients of Blue Hill at Stone Barns without a trek upstate. No meal is ever exactly the same, and the four-course menu, served family-style, of course, changes daily.
The Four Horsemen
\* | Williamsburg
The Four Horsemen is the cherished neighborhood restaurant that everyone wished they had, but only Williamsburg does. And though LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy is behind this mainstay — explaining the über-cool patronage and excellent soundtrack — it’s what’s on the menu that has diners returning again and again. Funky glasses of natural wine dot every table (the all-natural list is dizzying), and the locavore plates are worth fighting over.
Francie
\* | Williamsburg
A brasserie for the modern age, Francie is the glitzy labor of love of two industry vets. Housed in an old bank, Francie reimagines the usual suspects. You’re going to want to try the pastas, dry-aged crown of Rohan duck, and the sundae for two.
Gabriel Kreuther
\\ | Bryant Park
Gabriel Kreuther’s namesake restaurant in Midtown feels like a wonderful escape from the outside world, and the food — reflecting Kreuther’s French training and Alsatian heritage — is always on point.
The Dining Room at Gramercy Tavern
\* | Flatiron
Considered the city’s quintessential American restaurant, Gramercy Tavern has been satisfying gourmets of all stripes for over 25 years. And that’s because this institution pairs Danny Meyer’s unparalleled sense of hospitality with Michael Anthony’s outstanding seasonal cuisine, for a result that is simply phenomenal.
Book the Tavern at Gramercy Tavern, too.
Haenyeo
Bib Gourmand | Park Slope
Jenny Kwak has been making New Yorkers fall in love with Korean food for a quarter-century, starting with her groundbreaking Dok Suni. Haenyeo’s menu leans toward the restaurant’s seafood-inspired origins — as with her Korean-inspired bouillabaisse. But her takes on kalbi, soondubu jigae (soft tofu soup), and of course the now famous rice cake fundido, make Haenyeo unforgettable.
Hangawi
Bib Gourmand | Murray Hill
It’s a beloved vegan and plant-based Korean restaurant that everyone will adore, trust us. Between the cozy, low tables and the menu of dishes like tofu kimchi hot pot and pumpkin porridge, it’s a no-brainer.
Ishq
Bib Gourmand | East Village
The name (“love” or “passion” in Urdu) says it all: It’s a passion project from chef Vamshi Adi (Gazab) that draws from the culinary traditions of multiple regions from throughout India and blends them with contemporary touches. Expect classic curries and delicately grilled tandoori dishes that are sure to more than satisfy.
Jean-Georges
\\ | Upper West Side
Jean-Georges is the eponymous crown jewel of the Vongerichten empire, a New York icon 20-plus years in the making. A sumptuous dining room boasting outsized windows and overflowing floral arrangements sets the tone for an unforgettable meal, where Vongerichten flawlessly marries French technique with Asian flavor profiles.
Jeju Noodle Bar
\* | West Village
There are simple pleasures in life, and one of them is slurping through a steaming bowl of Jeju Noodle Bar’s ramyun. The Korean slurp shop is helmed by chef-owner Douglas Kim (Bouley, Per Se), who makes use of his fine-dining chops to bring South Korean comfort food to its purest and tastiest form. Expect flavor-rich broths and bouncy noodles, with a bevy of elegant pre-noodle bites.
Jōji
\* | Midtown East
Hidden below a staircase within the One Vanderbilt skyscraper, Jōji reunites George Ruan, Xiao Lin, and Wayne Cheng — three Masa vets who met at the prestigious sushi counter and became close friends. For their omakase experience (backed by Daniel Boulud), expect the same reverence for fish, a playlist that spans Biggie to French rap, and cocktails by Takuma Watanabe of Martiny’sfame.
Joo Ok
\* | Midtown
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.
JUA
\* | Flatiron District
Dreamt up by Jungsik vet Ho Young Kim, this Hand Hospitality (Her Name Is Han, Atoboyand Atomix) venture tames a spectacular wood-fired grill in service of a tasting menu that spotlights classic Korean dishes with a New York edge.
Kochi
\* | Hell's Kitchen
Kochi is the first solo project from Per Se vet Sungchul Shim. The name is Korean for “skewer” and Shim presents a stunning tasting menu centered around skewered dishes and interpretations of traditional Korean cuisine.
l'abeille
\* | Tribeca
Chef MitsunobuNagae is a veteran of the Joël Robuchon empire, and it shows in his elegant Japanese-accented Gallic fare — whether his multi-course tasting menu or the short à la carte selection rich with luxury ingredients like foie gras, lobster, and caviar.
Le Bernardin
\\\* | Theater District
Le Bernardin has consistently topped New York’s Michelin Guide for the past 17 years with a perfect three stars. Eric Riperthas stayed wildly ingenious throughout his tenure as executive chef, and nowhere else will you find seafood prepared with such thought and care. Add to that the restaurant’s outstanding service and a wine list curated by master sommelier Aldo Sohm, and toast to Le Bernardin’s three very well-deserved stars.
Le Coucou
\* | SoHo
Throw together Daniel Rose and Stephen Starr, and you get Le Coucou: a stunning ode to the French classics of lore, where the gold-rimmed plates arrive saucy, beautiful, and decadent.
Le Pavillon
\* | Midtown
Named in homage to Henri Soulé’s iconic restaurant (which defined the culture of haute French dining in Gotham as far back as 1941) Daniel Boulud’s Le Pavillon celebrates the tradition of the grand restaurant with an impeccable land-to-sea menu in a floral-edged oasis that will instantly make you forget you’re in Midtown. (10,000 pounds of lush black olive trees imported from Florida will certainly do the trick.)
Little Alley
Bib Gourmand | Murray Hill
Named after the twisting alleyways that make up Shanghai, Little Alley is where expats cure homesickness one plate of Shanghainese comfort food at a time, with baskets of xiao long bao, honey kaofu, lion’s head meatballs, and more.
LORE
Bib Gourmand | Brooklyn
Chef Jayesh Kumar, a culinary veteran who spent the majority of his career in Switzerland, is behind this charming neighborhood restaurant that features a menu with eclectic influences inspired by his global journey. Think crispy masala dosas, an inventive roti ravioli, and a rich chocolate ganache with rose cardamom ice cream.
MáLà Project East Village
Bib Gourmand | Lower Manhattan
Amelie Kang’s dry pots brought an entirely new Chinese eating habit to the city, and the DIY selections make for endless combinations: Sichuanese in spirit, but infused with a New York vitality. (Pro tip: The Bryant Park location is one of Midtown’s best lunch options.)
Book the Midtown East and Greenpointlocations and discover why author Andrea Long Chu is a regular.
Mari
\* | Hell's Kitchen
Chef Sungchul Shim, who won a Michelin star for his tasting menu of skewered meats and seafood at Kochi, has gone in a different direction at Mari, with a tasting menu featuring hand rolls made with everything from snow crab to pork belly.
Meju
\* | Long Island City
Chef Hooni Kim (Danji) is a pioneer of Korean cuisine in New York and at this intimate, Michelin-starred eight-seat counter he serves a fine-dining tasting menu unlike any other, highlighting the art of Korean fermentation beautifully.
Miss Ada
Bib Gourmand | Fort Greene
Mediterranean-inspired but clearly with Brooklyn on the brain, chef Tomer Blechman finds a way to channel both perfectly, through dishes like crispy cauliflower with parsley and silan; halloumi skewers; and both vegetarian and vegan shakshuka. Always start with the killer dips (get the muhammara) and add in a bottle of natural wine for effect.
The Modern
\\ | Midtown
It’s hard not to linger and smile at Danny Meyer’s two-Michelin-star restaurant, where chef Thomas Allan’s refined contemporary cuisine plays out in multiple courses. The Modern overlooks the MoMA’s sculpture garden, but it’s what arrives on the plate that might just steal the show.
Book the Kitchen Table and the Bar Room at The Modern, too.
Momofuku Noodle Bar East Village
Bib Gourmand | East Village
Even as the David Chang empire continues to expand, the original that launched a thousand bao — and officially brought ramen into the roster of American eating — keeps going strong.
Book the Uptown location, too.
Nōksu
\* | Koreatown
Hidden within the 34th Street Herald Square station, you’ll find this daring chef’s tasting counter where chef Dae Kim interweaves Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and French influences to spectacular effect. Think horsehair crab with compound butter, puffed duck feet, and gizzard shad in a sleek, black-marbled space with only 12 counter seats.
ODRE
Bib Gourmand | East Village
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.
Oiji Mi
\* | Flatiron
Chef-owner Brian Kim of Oiji brings his contemporary take on Korean cuisine to a stunning and larger Flatiron space, and you won’t want to miss the exquisitely fashioned, excitingly flavorful five-course menu on offer.
One White Street
\* | Tribeca
Chef Austin Johnson, a veteran of Eleven Madison Park and Paris’ Frenchie, gives a whole new meaning to “farm to table.” Here, the tables are filled with produce from this vegetable-forward restaurant’s own farm in upstate New York, and Johnson decides what gets planted. Good to know: Downstairs offers an à la carte menu, while upstairs features a seasonal tasting menu.
Oxomoco
\* | Greenpoint
There’s magic brewing in Greenpoint, and you can find a lot of it at Oxomoco. The Mexican stunner is a taco-slinging joint that’s as lively as it is delicious, where barbacoa steals the spotlight — slow-cooked over a wooden grill, the lamb is tenderly wrapped in a bona fide corn tortilla, and melts in the mouth.
Penny
Sommelier | East Village
This sequel to Claud is an ideal complement to the acclaimed wine bar downstairs. Penny has all of your raw bar classics — fresh oysters, clams, crudo, and shrimp cocktail — and a few surprises, too. Cooked-to-order lobster with brown butter, anyone? Pull up a chair at the long marble counter, and don’t sleep on the excellent wine list, either.
Peppercorn Station
Bib Gourmand | Bryant Park
Expect plenty of flavor and spice at this fast-casual Bryant Park Sichuan place, with its minimalist decor and its deeply satisfying menu (chicken with taro, anyone?). Pro tip: Whatever else you order, go for the “noodle of the day” special.
Pinch Chinese
Bib Gourmand | Soho
A kitchen team led by a Din Tai Fung veteran means that some of the most delicate xiao long bao in town can be found here — as well as a Peking duck service that’s outstanding (don’t forget to order in advance). Match that to the remarkable talents of wine director Miguel de Leon, winner of Michelin’s inaugural sommelier award in New York, and you have one of the most thoroughly enjoyable Chinese dining experiences around.
Potluck Club
Bib Gourmand | Chinatown
Chefs (and brothers) Zhan Chen and Peter Chen have devised a Cantonese American menu that’s both familiar and also unexpected: Think Southern-style scallion biscuits paired with salt-and-pepper chicken, and tiger shrimp with walnuts, tossed in a Calabrian chile aioli.
PRANAKHON
Bib Gourmand | Union Square
Pranakhon brings the street food found in Bangkok’s small alleyways right to Union Square. Even the beautiful and sprawling space winks and nods to Thai street culture, but it’s the food that’ll take your breath away — go with a group to try as much of the menu as possible (and trust us, you’re not going to want to skip the namesake pad Thai).
Red Paper Clip
\* | West Village
You can add Red Paper Clip to New York’s list of buzzy Taiwanese American destinations. Helmed by a Blue Hill alum of Taiwanese descent, Red Paper Clip is a clever mashup of cultures and cuisines, serving up playful fine dining hits like xiao long bao agnolotti, everything brioche, and lobster three ways.
Rezdôra
\* | Flatiron District
Pasta reigns supreme at this Flatiron hot spot from chef Stefano Secchi and David Switzer. The menu is based on the cuisine of Emilia-Romagna and centers around the freshly-made pasta, but don’t sleep on the vegetable dishes either. Here’s how to get in.
Roberta's
Bib Gourmand | Bushwick
The pies remain as great as ever (as always, don’t miss the Bee Sting, its chile-and-honey combo now widely imitated) and wine director Kirk Sutherland has tapped the best from the cellar at sister restaurant Blanca to make Roberta’s as much a pleasure as it ever was. Simply put: This Bushwick OG remains undefeated.
Book the locations at Domino Park and Penn Station, too.
Rolo's
Bib Gourmand | Ridgewood
A corner fixture with flair, Rolo’s delivers the sort of unfussy wood-fired cooking that Brooklyn always needs more of. A restaurant, bar and grill, and bakery piled into one, this Ridgewood spot fires pizza-like focaccia, homemade pasta, and cinnamon buns, courtesy of chefs who worked and met at Gramercy Tavern, then became good friends
Ruffian
Bib Gourmand | East Village
Small plates from Tabla vets that channel the vegetable-beautiful spirit of Floyd Cardoz’s cooking, matched to a wonderfully eclectic set of naturalish wines predominantly from central and eastern Europe. Ruffian has mastered this improbable mix, and we can’t get enough.
Runner Up
Bib Gourmand | Park Slope
If you open a second place after scoring with a restaurant and bakery called Winner, what’s a better name than Runner Up? This small, mostly-outdoor Park Slope wine bar is the work of chef Daniel Eddy — whose Michelin-starred Rebelle in Manhattan closed in 2017 — so you know the food is going to be something special.
Russ & Daughters Cafe
Bib Gourmand | Lower East Side
From slinging schmaltz herring out of a barrel to launching a celebrated brick-and-mortar store on Houston, Joel Russ made history not only by cementing Jewish food into the canon of New York dining, but by making his three daughters, Hattie, Ida, and Anne, full partners in the 1930’s of this still-family-owned operation. And it’s been one of the most fulfilling places for a proper New York brunch ever since.
Saga
\\ | Financial District
New York restaurant powerhouse James Kent, of Michelin-starred Crown Shy fame, soars toward the stratosphere with his latest effort on the 63rd floor of an historic Financial District skyscraper. Dinners are multi-course tasting menus with a focus on seafood, and the stunning views are as opulent as a billionaire’s penthouse.
Saint Julivert Fisherie
Bib Gourmand | Cobble Hill
This charming bistro from tapas masters Alex Raij and Eder Montero draws inspiration from ports of calls from around the world with a menu featuring dishes like perfectly cooked octopus and a cod pot pie with sweet and hot pepper sofrito. Pro tip: They’ve also got a great selection of natural wines, too.
Sami & Susu
Bib Gourmand | Lower East Side
Because Sami & Susu is a very fun restaurant helmed by two friends in complete reign of their small but mighty domain. Owners Amir Nathan and chef Jordan Anderson remix the Jewish and Middle Eastern food of their youth for the electrifying menu here —at nighttime, come for the wines and the excellent shared plates; at lunch, you’re here for the beef tongue sandwich, a rollover from their much-followed pop-up.
Semma
\* | West Village
From the same team behind Adda and Dhamaka comes Semma, where chef Vijay Kumar (formerly of Michelin-starred Rasa in Burlingame, Calif.) showcases a menu entirely devoted to the regions of Southern India, a rarity among Indian restaurants in America. Pro tip: Pre-order the Kanyakumari nandu masala, a unique feast of Dungeness crab, parotta flatbread, and coconut rice for two.
Shalom Japan
Bib Gourmand | Williamsburg
Shalom Japan is the fusion cuisine you didn’t know you needed — but will be so grateful for once you’ve tried it. It serves up a blend of Ashkenazi Jewish and Japanese culinary traditions (think matzoh ball ramen, a lox bowl, or Wagyu beef hot pot) that’s hard to find anywhere else, and it will leave you exceedingly satisfied.
69 Leonard Street
\* | TriBeCa
One of the city’s premier sushi institutions has turned a new leaf: 69 Leonard Street has a new sushi chef in tow, and not just any — Shion Uino of Tokyo’s esteemed three Michelin-starred Sushi Saito, who brings an intimate Edomae-style experience to Leonard’s stone counter, going so far as to source rare fish from the islands that make up his hometown of Amakusa.
Read Michelin-starred chef Douglas Kim’s ode to the restaurant.
Shmoné
\* | Greenwich Village
Dive into contemporary Israeli cuisine at this Greenwich Village beauty from chef Eyal Shani ( HaSalon, Miznon). The offbeat dish names on the ever-changing menu (“stretchy stracciatella Pyrex lasagna”) will bring a smile to your face, and you’ll keep on smiling when you dig in.
Shota Omakase
\* | Williamsburg
Veteran sushi chef Cheng Lin is behind this new Edomae-style sushi counter in Williamsburg with a dazzling 18-course meal that changes daily with the seasons. Lin previously worked at Hatsuhana, Sushi Seki, Blue Ribbon Sushi, and most recently, Ito Tribeca. Fun fact: The restaurant is named for a Japanese comic book called “Shota No Sushi” about a young man’s passion for sushi.
Sixty Three Clinton
\* | Lower East Side
After working together at Brooklyn Fare and Bar Uchū, friends and former high school classmates chef Samuel Clonts and restaurateur Raymond Trinh decided to venture out on their own. The result is Sixty Three Clinton, where a whimsical tasting menu is ruled by the seasons and pulls from their personal histories. Think a breakfast taco with an ajitama ramen egg, salsa verde, and smoked trout roe — a wink to their Southwest upbringing and years of Japanese cooking.
Sobre Masa
Bib Gourmand | Bushwick
Diana and Zach Wangeman are on a mission: to bring forth the true flavors of Mexico, via corn. But not just any corn, heirloom varieties from small Mexican farmers, whose unique aroma is deeply embedded in the masa they nixtamalize in house for not just their restaurant, but others in the city, too. Pro tip: Do not skip any of the sweets here — the couple are both trained pastry chefs, after all.
Soda Club
Bib Gourmand | East Village
Picture a moody wine bar where natural wines are sipped alongside platefuls of handmade pasta. Now picture it again, but make it vegan. Not convinced? Then you haven’t been to a Ravi DeRossi venture. The restaurateur, known for his chorus of vegan restaurants in the East Village, turns everything he touches into meat-free gold, and Soda Club is not one to miss.
Speedy Romeo – Brooklyn
Bib Gourmand | Clinton Hill
The pies invoke St. Louis — crispy thin, round in shape, cut in squares — and the toppings are always a bit off-kilter in the best way, as with the St. Louie itself — which factors in soppressata, sweet sausage, and pickled chiles.
Superiority Burger
Bib Gourmand | East Village
Rejoice! Brooks Headley’s beloved East Village diner got a serious upgrade (read: a much larger space). 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.
Sushi Amane
\* | Midtown East
Some say the purest expression of Tokyo-style sushi can be found at this minimalist counter, hidden in the basement of another restaurant. Expect a decadent 18-course omakase from Tokyo-trained sushi master Tomoyuki Hayashi in an up-close-and-personal, wooden-walled spot.
Sushi Ichimura
\* | Tribeca
If you want quality sushi omakase, you might as well go right to the master, none other than Eiji Ichimura, known for his precision, craft, and dedication to dry-aged fish. Everything here is intentional, from the 400-year-old screen painting adorning the space to the curated sake, wine, beer, and Japanese chilled tea list.
Sushi Nakazawa NY
\* | West Village
Training under Jiro Ono is as close to sushi consecration as you can get, and Daisuke Nakazawa checks that box. The chef trained for a decade under the man who stunned the world in “Jiro Dreams of Sushi,” and the apprentice-turned-frontman at his very own New York counter will similarly leave you breathless. Get ready for omakase done with the utmost care, featuring mature yellowtail, big fin reef squid, and a trio of tuna, upping in both fattiness and creaminess.
Tanoreen
Bib Gourmand | Bay Ridge
You’re heading to Bay Ridge (and preferably, with a group) for the ways that mother and daughter Rawia and Jumana Bishara interpret Palestinian cooking. That starts with appetizers like silken labaneh, moves through skewers and starters like musakhan, the sumac-dusted chicken flatbread that might well be the fundamental Palestinian dish, and always save room for specials like the fish stew known as sayadiyya.
Thai Diner
Bib Gourmand | Nolita
The diner is dead, long live the diner! An all-day restaurant dreamt up by the married chef-owners behind Uncle Boons, Thai Diner takes your greasy spoon classics and reimagines them with Thailand in mind. The result? Ingenious and delicious bicultural plates (Thai tea babka French toast, anyone?) and a couple of Uncle Boons favorites for those still in mourning. We see you, crab fried rice.
Tha Phraya
Bib Gourmand | Upper East Side
Spicy, brothy noodles, saucy crab fried rice, and impeccably crispy pork spring rolls are reason enough to pay Tha Phraya a visit. Their menu focuses on the cuisine of Bangkok, designed to make you feel like you’re watching the iconic Phraya River flow by. Did we mention the ice cream hot pot, too?
Tolo
Bib Gourmand | Chinatown
Chef Ron Yan pulls from his childhood and family heritage to bring forth a crowdpleasing menu of Chinese dishes that pairs perfectly with Parcelle’s epic list of natural-leaning wines. Whatever you do, don’t sleep on the marinated cucumber and wood-ear mushroom, sticky rice, and the typhoon shelter-style fried chicken.
Tonchin New York
Bib Gourmand | Midtown East
You can add Tonchin to the city’s best ramen roll call. A Tokyo-based chain, Tonchin knows its tonkotsu very well, studding its complex and layered broth with housemade noodles. It is not often that a noodle chain gets a Michelin nod, but this one deservedly does.
Book the Williamsburg location, too.
Torien
\* | Noho
Get ready to rethink chicken. A Japanese legend has descended upon the New York dining scene, and he’s bringing yakitori in 13 courses. Yoshiteru Ikegawa — of Tokyo’s iconic Torishiki — uses a binchotan charcoal grill straight out of Japan to carefully cook everything from the neck skin to the heart. Simply put, Torien’s counter-only omakase experience is mesmerizing.
Torrisi
\* | Nolita
The beloved destination for Italian American food from the same team behind Carbone is finally back, and while the mozzarella is still flowing, it’s not quite the same as you might remember; it’s even better.
Tuome
\* | East Village
Nestled deep in the East Village is a restaurant that lays on the umami. Tuome was dreamt up by Thomas Chen, who, fresh out of Eleven Madison Park, invoked his fine-dining training with the flavors of his Asian upbringing. Chinese elements tinge the plates, and the result is quietly thrilling: quail arrives splattered in soy sauce, luscious noodles come slicked with snow crab and dashi butter, and the “pig out for two” is a sight to behold.
Una Pizza Napoletana
Bib Gourmand | Lower Manhattan
It is and has always been all about the dough at Anthony Mangieri’s riveting pizza spot. Puffy and blistered, the pies stun in their delicious simplicity. They might fool you into thinking you’re in Naples — except that Mangieri’s talents are unique, and you know you could be nowhere else but in his restaurant.
Yellow Rose East Village
Bib Gourmand | East Village
Come for the revelatory bean-and-cheese tacos, made with housemade flour tortillas, stay for the buttermilk brioche donuts dipped in chocolate or hominy-sugar (weekends only), frozen margaritas, and vegan queso and chips — or well, nearly everything on the menu at this buzzy Tex-Mex spot in the East Village.
Yingtao
\* | Hell’s Kichen
It’s a fine-dining Chinese-inspired restaurant that feels like a party. Expect hip-hop music, French-style plating, and always, a very good time.
