Choosing a favorite restaurant in New York City is a joyful task with myriad possibilities depending on the occasion, mood and even the time of year. Your favorite dive<\/a>, fine dining<\/a>\u00a0destination and\u00a0neighborhood favorite\u00a0might all occupy top spots on your personal best list in spite of their disparate qualities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our list of NYC\u2019s 42 best restaurants is the same, spanning each of those categories and more to comprise a catalogue of all the places we wish we were at right now. They don\u2019t have to be the newest<\/a> or the most recently reviewed<\/a>, just places that we\u2019ve been to and want to return to again and again, and that we think that you will, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Best NYC restaurants at a glance:<\/p>\n


\nFor classic Italian: Roscioli\u00a0– Part-delicatessen, part-Italian restaurant that pleases with a solid line\u00a0up of\u00a0pastas, charcuterie boards and a whole lot of wine\u00a0(SoHo) <\/p>\n


\nFor a worth-it clubstaurant: Crane Club\u00a0–\u00a0Aged steaks and theatrical ambiance from chef Melissa Rodriguez (Chelsea) <\/p>\n


\nFor trendy pizza: Mama’s Too\u00a0– A New York slice shop that dabbles in triangle and square slices\u00a0(Upper East Side and West Village)
\nFor upscale Korean: Kochi \u2013\u00a0A tasting-menu destination known for refined flavors and inventive plating (Hell’s Kitchen) <\/p>\n


\nFor exciting Mexican: Oxomoco \u2013 A fun, wood-fired Mexican spot with creative tacos and standout frozen cocktails (Greenpoint) <\/p>\n

November 2025:\u00a0We started this fall the best way we know how: by loading up on carbs. Much like a bear prepping for hibernation (you know, minus the sticks, berries and the extended slumber), I too prepared with\u00a0the coming chill by stuffing\u00a0myself silly with all the carby comforts: bagels<\/a>, pizza<\/a> and pastas<\/a>. As a result, two Italian restaurants are now added to our lineup of best restaurants in NYC: Andrew Tarlow’s Borgo<\/a> and the Roman import, Roscioli<\/a>. We also visited Tatiana<\/a>\u00a0after a long time and\u2014surprise, surprise\u2014we still found it great (which you can read all about in our updated review).<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n

Next month, we will have reached the end of the year, and with it, our list of the best restaurants of 2026. So stay tuned to see what rose to the top.\u00a0For\u00a0more on our editorial policies and ethics, feel free to check out\u00a0how we review at Time Out<\/a>.<\/p>\n
