Via Carota
Italian · West Village · James Beard Outstanding Restaurant 2023

Italian · Williamsburg · Michelin 1-Star, James Beard Best Chef
Missy Robbins turned a Williamsburg warehouse into one of the five best Italian restaurants in America. The mafaldini with pink peppercorn is the dish that put her on the map, and the agnolotti will h...

Don Angie
Italian-American · West Village · Michelin 1-Star
Don Angie took the red-sauce Italian joint and turned it inside out. The pinwheel lasagna is an architectural marvel, the chrysanthemum bread is absurdly good, and the cherry pepper rigatoni could con...

Afro-Caribbean American · Lincoln Center · James Beard Best Chef New York 2024, World's 50 Best One To Watch 2023

4 Charles Prime Rib
Steakhouse · West Village · Michelin Recommended
A West Village steakhouse so exclusive it doesn't need a sign. 4 Charles Prime Rib serves dry-aged prime rib, martinis, and Dover sole in a candlelit townhouse that feels like a private club. The cock...

Gage & Tollner
American Chophouse · Brooklyn Heights · Michelin Recommended, James Beard Nominated
A 130-year-old Brooklyn supper club resurrected from the dead, and the revival is stunningly good. Gas-lit chandeliers, leather banquettes, and a raw bar that feels like a time machine to Gilded Age N...

Di An Di
Vietnamese · Greenpoint · Michelin Recommended
Vietnamese-inspired cooking in a retro-diner setting that somehow became one of Brooklyn's most beloved restaurants. The rice noodle salad and the lemongrass chicken are outstanding, but it's the ener...
