Akdeniz Write a Review
19 W. 46th St. Mediterranean, Turkish $$ West 40s  
We felt lucky to stumble on this Turkish spot, whose doors were flung open on a warm afternoon to reveal an inviting pastel interior just below street level. We plowed through a half-dozen mezze, finding the fresh fried anchovies, octopus salad, and baba ghanoush especially tasty, served with a... More>>
Ali Baba Write a Review
212 E. 34th St. Mediterranean, Turkish $$ Murray Hill  
What looks like a fast-food joint from the outside turns out to be an excellent and rather formal restaurant inside, a perfect date spot with its convincing fake fireplace. The ambitious menu takes some time to read––there are 10 lamb entrées alone––and includes plenty... More>>
Alto Write a Review
520 Madison Ave. Italian $$$ East 50s  
From the amuse-bouche of cod mousse and pickled anchovy arranged like a delicate sculpture to the astonishing peach strudel, we enjoyed one of the best meals of the year here. The restaurant expresses a mature culinary vision—centered on the quasi-Teutonic food of Italy's Alto... More>>
Anthos Write a Review
36 W. 52nd St. Greek $$$$ West 50s  
Chef Michael Psilakis took Greek food to new creative heights at Onera on the Upper West Side, amping up the vernacular cuisine of his ancestral homeland. But he outdoes himself at Anthos, incorporating all sorts of modern culinary notions into his cooking. The raw meze--a tiny, delectable... More>>
Artisanal Write a Review
2 Park Ave. French $$$ Murray Hill  
A master of cheese in its myriad forms, capable of using it in every course, Artisanal is the rare restaurant that started out good but has become spectacular. This confident Parisian-style brasserie created by celebrated chef Terrance Brennan offers something for every taste, including a... More>>
Bread and Olive Write a Review
24 W. 45th St. Lebanese $ West 40s  
Fabricated from pita dough, the baby pizzas are spectacular, luscious four-slice pies that shoot from the brick oven bearing Middle Eastern toppings ranging from pine nuts to ikawi cheese to zaatar, an herbal cousin of marjoram and thyme. The flat crispy falafel and colorful vegetable... More>>
Chennai Garden Write a Review
129 E. 27th St. Indian, Pakistani $$ Murray Hill  
There are now plenty of places in Curry Hill where you can get a masala dosa, the delicious potato-filled crepe of South India, but Chennai Garden has carried the obsession further than most other establishments, offering manifold variations like rava dosa (with a supple Cream of Wheat batter),... More>>
Chez Napoleon Write a Review
365 W. 50th St. French $$$ West 50s  
Spunky octogenarian "grand-mére" Marguerite Bruno is still in the kitchen on weekends, and her influence shows in the resolutely old-fashioned, hearty French fare. Entrées are served out of silver chafing dishes by career waitstaff and the decor tends toward ornate woodwork and... More>>
Esca Write a Review
402 W. 43rd St. Italian, Seafood $$$$ West 40s  
Chef Dave Pasternack comes from a Montauk fishing family, and he was on top of the local and sustainable bandwagon long before those terms became household words. His Italian crudo refers, not to the cured ham found throughout Italy, but to raw seafood seasoned with fruity olive oil and other... More>>
Gazala Place Write a Review
709 Ninth Ave. Israeli, Middle Eastern $$ West 40s  
According to chef Halabi Gazala, her place is the only Druze restaurant in the United States. Druze are an insular tribe that spreads across the Middle East (the chef grew up in Israel), practicing a religion related to Islam and Greek Gnosticism. The food is mostly familiar, but with some... More>>
Go!Go!Curry Write a Review
273 West 38th St. Japanese $ Garment District  
The lines stretched around the block during the 55-cent special that inaugurated this Japanese curry joint. All five choices (chicken cutlet, pork cutlet, shrimp, sausage, combo of all four) begin with a perfectly sculpted mountain of rice overwhelmed by a midnight-brown curry gravy... More>>
Haandi Write a Review
113 Lexington Ave. Indian, Pakistani $ Murray Hill  
Follow the swarm of cabs to this Pakistani restaurant, where vegetables are forsaken in favor of one of the meatiest and most highly flavored cuisines on the planet. Ignore the illuminated menu, and carefully scan the steam table and the glass shelf above it before ordering. Nearly always in... More>>
Katsuhama Write a Review
11 E. 47th St. Japanese $$ East 40s  
Though this authentic tonkatsu-ya has branched out in the last couple of years into other corners of the Japanese fried-food demimonde, you're crazy to order anything not made with one of their imported-from-Virginia pork cutlets, either fatty or lean. Save room for the pumpkin custard. More>>
Kosher Delight Write a Review
1365 Broadway Jewish, Kosher $ Garment District  
The chicken schwarma turning in the front window is divine. Cumin-dusted and moist, it's hacked off the cylinder at just the right moment and served on a pita. A paper basket on the side lets you load up with purple cabbage slaw, grilled eggplant, two kinds of peppers, pickles, onions, and baby... More>>
Kuruma Zushi Write a Review
7 E. 47th St. Japanese, Sushi $$$ East 40s  
Toshihiro Uezu is a towering figure on the New York sushi scene, a seafood impresario who surveys the ichthyological world for the freshest and tastiest specimens, then superintends their transformation into modest-sized lozenges streamlined for maximum flavor. Fifteen minutes in his care at... More>>
Madangsui Write a Review
35 W. 35th St. Korean $$$ Garment District  
This Korean restaurant takes its table-top barbecue seriously, hoping to cash in on the ‘cue craze currently gripping Gotham. To that end, the first item on the extensive meat menu is a prime rib-eye steak, but don’t get attached to this beauty, because the waitress heartlessly snips... More>>
Mantao Write a Review
235 East 53rd St. Chinese, Sandwiches $ East 50s  
The narrow storefront with only a few seats specializes in northern Chinese mantao––steamed flops of white dough dotted with sesame seeds. These are pressed into service to make small sandwiches, and two make a meal. Many have northern Chinese culinary themes that might be mistaken for Korean,... More>>
Marea Write a Review
240 Central Park South $$$$ West 50s  
Michael White's temple to Italian seafood is full of pleasures. It's also full of incredibly rich people. To experience Marea on something approaching the cheap, go for one of the pastas, which are the both the best, and most affordable dishes they offer. They're all hand-made, and each piece is... More>>
Metro Marché Write a Review
625 Eighth Ave. Bistro, French $$$ West 40s  
The Port Authority Bus Terminal might not be the first place you'd look to find a relaxing meal, but the advent of this bistro (or maybe it's a brasserie) has changed all that. The dark dining room reminds you of an Irish bar, while the menu hits all the right French notes, some of them... More>>
Soba Totto Write a Review
211 E. 43rd St. Japanese $$$ East 40s  
Ever crunched on a chicken sternum before? Not bad, especially when grilled over bamboo charcoal. And breast bone is only one of the gnawable yakitori oddities available at Soba Totto, which also include gizzards, necks, hearts, skin, and the inscrutable "chicken oyster" –– you’ll... More>>
Sushi Yasuda Write a Review
204 E. 43rd St. Japanese $$$$ East 40s  
Finally, a fit competitor for Kuruma Sushi (7 East 47th Street, 317-2802). Sushi Yasuda is all blond woods, accented by a single twig of pink orchids and the green banana leaves on which the glistening sushi and sashimi are deposited. Contrary to form, the sushi's also great at the tables, and... More>>
Tiffin Wallah Write a Review
127 E. 28th St. Indian, Pakistani, Vegetarian $$ Murray Hill  
The glory of the strictly vegetarian menu at Tiffin Wallah—named after the dudes who deliver box lunches to offices in Indian cities—is a series of set meals called thalis that reflect four of India's vegetarian cuisines. You're probably already familiar with the northern Indian... More>>
Tulcingo Del Valle Grocery Write a Review
665 Tenth Ave. Mexican $$ West 40s  
Bet you thought the burrowing animal with beady eyes—but, no, this is about "moe-lays," the pre-Colombian Mexican sauces laboriously made from dozens of ingredients. The recently expanded Del Valle makes all the usual green, brown, and red versions, and several rarely seen ones as well,... More>>
Wu Liang Ye 1 User Reviews
338 Lexington Ave. Asian, Chinese $$ Murray Hill  
Close your eyes and you might think it's the best bacon you've ever tasted—the camphor-rubbed, tea-smoked duck at the Murray Hill outpost of Wu Liang Ye, one of the city's most serious Sichuan restaurants. Commence your meal with Chengdu wontons soaked in fiery chile oil, and continue your... More>>
