Chef Andrew Carmellini's return to the stage, following A Voce, is a rustic neighborhood Italian resto at the core. And on Mondays, home of some of New York's best fried chicken. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
In the morning, a casual cafe offering light breakfast dishes. In the middle of the day, an Italian delicatessen. And at night, a bustling bar and dining room serving a menu of rustic Italian fare.
A solid choice for date night on the UWS, or a meal before a show at Lincoln Center. Even the most exotic dishes like the zaatar baked cod have that signature Boulud touch. [Eater 38 Member]
The bar room is a cool place for after-work cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and on the weekends, Benoit serves one of the best brunches in Midtown (it includes a dessert buffet). [Eater 38 Member]
Chef April Bloomfield holds her own and then some at New York's top gastropub. Arguably the best restaurant burger in New York is served here, and the gnudi needs no introduction. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Profoundly porky broth and excellent noodles make this a ramen destination worth waiting for.
Strikingly original mazeman (brothless) ramen for lunch, plus a $65 seafood ramen omakase menu at night that sells out in a flash.
Midtown East's best source for ramen. Order the pork toro and the Hakata Kuro ramen, which comes with pureed charred garlic swirled in.
Fantastic broth, excellent noodles, friendly service, and prices about 1/3 lower than any of its closest competitors, not to mention the lack of an hour-long wait to get in (for now)?
Unmatched pastrami, excellent egg creams, great hot dogs and sausage. A New York legend.
Reliably good roast pork over rice. The banh mi, made with the likes of roast pork or duck, are menu standouts.
The Spicy Buradi comes with either chicken or lamb, but we endorse the latter, which stands up well against the not-too-spicy mint-habanero sauce that moistens the wrap sandwich.
