Falling in love with New York City has to do with its food. Eating snails for the first time at an Upper East Side French staple after saving up money in college; slurping oysters with friends over brunch at a seafood favorite; and going back in for consecutive helpings of tingly Chungking chicken—only to realize it’s just a tiny fraction of the diversity of cuisines in the city.
Eating out in New York will keep inspiring, if you know where to look. I say this with the confidence of years spent as a food reporter and editor at places like Eater and now OpenTable.
The result of these experiences is a collection of restaurants that I can recommend as my go-tos. These 16 places are a mix of everyday spots and special-occasion bangers that remind you how thrilling dining out here can be.
