I have worked at restaurants in New York for the last 8 years. I love to go out to eat, try new places, and I think I have found some of the best spots in the city.
Map
My favorite place to take people after a day in the park or after a ferry ride! Also a great happy hour!
American Brass
I truly think this is my favorite restaurant in the city. The food is the best and the service can't be beat.
Portale
I really like this spot for a quick bite to eat. I think the drinks are a little $$ pricey but I love the vibes and I really like their happy hour for food and drinks!
The Bar Room
Great pre or post theatre spot. Being coming here since technically before I was born. Great food and the staff is incredible. I absolutely love this spot!
Joe Allen
an absolute favorite for before or after a show - you have to try the pizza crisps!!
Orso
The diner is under new ownership and the food is so amazing. It is always busy so make reservations in advance or be okay to wait for a table!
Kellogg’s Diner
Love the food and the vibes but best of all the cocktails are ones you will not forget! Very unique and very good!
Sama Street
A speakeasy for people who don't care about speakeasys. Great light bites and amazing classic cocktails. Perfect for after a show or before! A theatre lovers CAN'T miss in the city.
Bar Centrale
2500+ Record Collection that you listen to while you are at the restaurant! Plus the food is amazing and the cocktails may be even better. I am actually a vegetarian and they have a vegan dish that is TOP notch!
Vinyl Steakhouse
Service and food are out of this world. Great for a special night (or a Tuesday).
Marea
Maybe some of the most thoughtfully crafted cocktails I have had in NYC. Very complex and interesting! Great for an after dinner drink!
We Got Company
BEAUTIFUL restaurant with even better food. This is a can't miss downtown.
Sartiano's
The vibe is perfection in this bar, plus the snacks and drinks are incredible!
The Honey Well
Classic Brasserie on the UES. I absolutely love the vibe here and the food is great. I always make a trip when my parents visit.
Jacques Brasserie
Whenever I feel like I need a good English Breakfast with a fun kitchy vibe, this is where I go. One of my favorite places.
Tea & Sympathy
The food is AMAZING, the service is okay, but honestly the food makes up for it. It's nothing crazy, but they do the classics well.
Elio's
Literally such a cool vibe. Plus the onion rings are to die for
