28 Best Restaurants in New York City

NYC brings tourists in droves for its world-class museums, monuments, shopping, and theater. But it is also a city in which eating is often not something you do between activities, it is the activity. New York has one of the most competitive and diverse restaurant scenes anywhere in the world—one study from earlier in the decade found that 80 percent of restaurants in New York close in the first five years (though that also means new and exciting eateries are opening constantly). Whether you want a three Michelin star tasting menu, a big plate of comfort food or just the best freakin’ slice of pizza you’ve ever had in your life, you can find it in New York City. During the continued pandemic, dining in the city is either outdoors or at much diminished capacity inside, but all these spots are ready to welcome diners in one or both ways.
