New York City restaurants
After a slew of Vegas-on-the-Hudson big-box openings (Del Posto, Morimoto, Buddakan), the New York restaurant scene has been scaling way back. While a reservation at the original Nobu or Thomas Keller's Per Se remains a hotter ticket than opening night at the Met, these days many of the city's most exclusive restaurants are tiny, stealthy spots with barely a sign out front (Bobo, Allen & Delancey, wunderkind David Chang's Momofuku Ko). Even top toque Alain Ducasse, with more Michelin stars than any chef on the planet, has dialed down, replacing his haute cuisine palace on Central Park South with the much less precious and pricey Adour. While New Yorkers will always find a way to dig deep for the occasional blowout meal, it's the budget destinations—like standing-room-only tapas joint El Quinto Pino and the funky, fiery Malaysian roadhouse Fatty Crab—that are packed every night. We distilled the city's 18,000-plus restaurant options into this cheat sheet to dining out, an opinionated guide to everything from the best splurge-worthy classic to the finest dirt-cheap burger in Midtown.
