You can say this for many cuisines, but NYC has become a mecca of sorts for good sushi, at least in the United States.
See if your company will let you drop 150 per for Sushi Nakazawa. You will not get sushi nearly as good anywhere else in the country.
Nakazawa is too expensive for me to go on my own dime, but I frequent Domodomo in west village. Great food for the price
Awesome! Going to have to give it a try for sure. Always looking for great sushi spots. I will give a SB as soon as I get enough credits !
Tamarind is really good south-Indian food, poppadums and all. I think it has a Michelin star, so it's fiery for both the wallet and the tongue.
For the tree-huggers among us, Dirt Candy is hands-down the best vegetarian food I've ever eaten. Reservations are made a month in advance.
For Scandinavian fare, Aquavit (2 stars, hurts the wallet) and Scandinavia House (WTF, an awesome restaurant in a museum).
Chefs choice at Domodomo is mad good... sugar fish in midtown can hang too
was just there this past weekend. that sushi course is incredible plus I always save room for a few more handrolls afterwards.
If your company is super generous with the meal budget you might wanna check out Masa as well
Greg Lippmann ("Jared Vennett" or Ryan Gosling in The Big Short) used to have a sushi spreadsheet ranking the top sushi spots all over NYC when he was still at DB. Last I heard it's still around on the floor, and that there are some slightly outdated versions online, but something that could be interesting to look up.
Sushi Nakazawa is great.
visiting NYC...i suggest you find a date for dinner...eating alone is no fun
1) you must goto a NYC steakhouse...preferably either Peter Luger or WolfGang (i prefer wolfgang)....and get the canadian bacon at the bar with drinks before your meal 2) Ramen at Ippudo (get a beer and the pork bun sandwich at the bar while you wait...seriously) 3) Sushi of Gari (or Ninja if you want to impress a female or a group). These are not necessarily the best sushi places for just fish on rice...but they are fun for a group 4) Italian - 1st, grab a slice of pizza at Joes on 6th and Bleeker....then goto Babbo (reservations recommended)...actually..reverse that order....goto Joes for a slice AFTER Babbo. 5) Pearl Oyster Bar - get a bucket of steamers for your app...and the lobster roll for dinner. 6) goto Katz and get a corned beef or pastrami sandwich with pickles and half sour tomatoes
the list could go on...you really need to narrow down your preferences...
You are correct, that was a rather broad question....I’ve been a number of times for work and whatnot and have tried a variety of places with different food types. Haven’t been to one I didn’t like..they’ve all been great. I’ve tried:
Beauty & Essex Momofuko Indochine Pearl Oyster Bar Some restaurant/bar that was on a small boat next to the pier??? Wish I remembered the name Carmine’s
I would say Peter Lugers or Keens. Keens is classic and very very delicious. Tons of famous people in history's pipes on the ceiling including Teddy Roosevelt.
Peter Lugers is pretty overrated imo. Del Friscos and Wolfgang are the best
Don't go to gari, it's overpriced and overhyped... Lots of other places that are better quality and bang for your buck
Despana is amazing! I'm buying a whole leg of cured jamon iberico for the holiday season. Definitely recommend getting lunch and a glass of wine in the back.
Isn't it?! And if you blink, you'd walk right past Despaña as its frontage is like 12 feet wide at most. A friend was in town from DC and we started our day there, sharing a wedge of tortilla de papa and about 4 or 5 other tapas... he actually got me to try the white anchovies with bechamel sauce and I was truly impressed [I don't hate anchovies, but I usually find them too strong tasting for anything beyond making puttanesca sauce]. There were also samples we tried of several hams and morcilla. I wound up buying green olives stuffed with cheese, honey with figs, black olive tapenade and a couple of other items. If we had not planned a whole day of walking around Little Italy and Chinatown, I would have bought much more. Already plotting my own next trip there for the holidays, to get stuff for Noche Buena. Enjoy the iberico!
Forget the pay and prestige... never have I wanted to land a NYC offer more than I have the last 3 minutes reading these comments...
Yes, it’s definitely a fun city. I go maybe once a year for a real estate conference or a client meeting.
There’s a bar/ restaurant somewhere near the financial district but literally on the water. I can’t for the life of me remember the name. It’s basically built on the side of a boat dock. (Maybe called the Boathouse?? Or something like that). Does anyone know where I’m talking about? I would know the name if I heard it.
Watermark on the East River, or maybe Batter Gardens or Pier A?
Found it.... it’s called Grand Banks. Awesome food and drinks and we had a great time after hours at the bar
If you've lived in Manhattan for 10 years (i.e. way too long) you always end up in some hole-in-the-wall joint. The ones with a little old chinese lady, or grumpy italian guy who yells at his pizza boys.
The fine dining only happens when a worthy friend/family member come from out of town.
Emily is a newer (I think?) place that has great pizza and unbelievable burger.
Enjoy!
Try Dorsia. I hear they have some great sea urchin ceviche.
Can't believe it took this long for a Dorsia rec to show up. What has WSO become?
clicked on thread just to ctrl + f > 'dorsia'
so predictable
McDonald's
For a hole in the wall Italian Frank in the E Village is great.
La Masseria is fantastic Italian
fresco by scotto is very good italian , also have a breakfast and lunch spot open right next door monday -friday. both are right across the street from Evercore !
Dim Sum Go Go in China Town
if you haven't been to golden unicorn in chinatown for weekend dimsum brunch, you have to go at least once...its what you imagine dim sum to be...trolley carts of steaming dim sum...all chinese staff...mostly chinese customers...packed between 11am-2pm...either go early, or go late...early (10:30am) is better.
I personally prefer Jing Fong, but you can't go wrong with either.
Jing Fong Wolfgang's Nobu Masseria Taurene Frenchette Riverpark Locanda Verde Osteria Romana Ayza Le Bernardin Jean Georges China Blue Masseria dei Vini Marea
You'll have to PM me for my hole in the wall joints - those I guard much more jealously.
LAVO LAVO LAVO LAVO
I lol'd. You can actually have a fun, debaucherous dinner there. The seamless is also fire from there. +1
