Big Izakaya Energy Comes to SoHo
A puck of minced beef sits smothered in gravy. This is steak haché, doing its best impression of your uncle’s Salisbury steak. And that brown liquid spilling across the plate? It’s Bull-Dog sauce, a prune-laced Japanese condiment normally squeezed over pork katsu. Not really fine dining — at first glance. But here at Noury, nostalgic rusticity doesn’t come at the expense of technique. The chef de cuisine, Joji Miwa, fortifies his Bull-Dog with luscious veal stock.
Big Izakaya Energy Comes to SoHo
4 hours ago TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Tampa barbecue restaurant announced Monday that it will be featured on the current season of Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." Wicked Oak BarbeQue, located off North Florida Ave in Seminole Heights, said it has "been keeping a bit of a secret" in a Facebook post. The …
The Soccer Bar of Your Mexican Food Dreams Is Here
Fans in hoodies, hats and green jerseys nearly spilled out onto the street at Soccería on a recent Saturday. The bar area filled up like a concession stand at halftime, so three women climbed atop their shiny cedar booths, legs dangling, for a clearer view of the Mexico-Colombia match. The game played on an L.E.D. screen as big as a billboard. The mezcal was flowing.

Restaurant Review: Pizza Studio Tamaki in New York
Restaurant Review: Pizza Studio Tamaki in New York - The New York Times
To watch an Uzbek sheep’s rear end jiggle is to witness a voluptuous feat with few parallels. These well-padded ruminants provide Central Asia with dumba, lush tail fat that’s fried as a street snack or sometimes grilled as kebabs. It’s a specialty that rarely appears at local spots, but Cheburechnaya serves a version of it, using torched rib fat, that you spread across wheels of crusty lepeshka like butter. Except this condiment tastes of sugar and barnyard funk.
Where to Eat: The 50 best restaurants of 2026
Welcome to Where to Eat, the restaurant newsletter that will always take a look at the dessert menu. Here’s what we’ve got for you today: 538 restaurants, 38 states, 149 flights — 50 excellent American restaurants from Fairhope, Ala., to Ephraim, Wis.
Game of Chicken: The Rotisserie Renaissance Ramps Up at Cleo
An upscale neighborhood rotisserie presents a paradox. Just as New Yorkers don’t expect, say, slice-joint tasting menus, most of our finest bronzed birds hail from affordable takeout shops. I’ve never finished off pollo a la brasa and wished it could be fancier, pricier or paired with a pet’nat and osetra. Yet so it goes that the city has two expensive new spots dedicated to pedigreed, slow-cooked fowl. One of them, Gigi’s, stirred up a ruckus when it debuted with $40 half chickens.

The Great Neighborhood Bar Is Alive and Well in Chinatown
At Cantonese spots, chefs skilfully deploy XO sauce, a heady condiment forged from dried shellfish and cured ham. At Bar Chucho on the edge of Chinatown, the chef Fidel Caballero goes a step further, adding a Mexican twang. Sure, he uses scallops, but also grasshoppers and smoked corazón for funk and umami. And he tosses the salsa with maple-slicked rice cakes before sending them out with toothpicks.
The Great Neighborhood Bar Is Alive and Well in Chinatown
3 hours ago Is this restaurant’s dress code perfectly reasonable, or does it highlight a “double standard”?

There’s No Such Thing as a Perfect Wine Bar, but This One Is Close
The thing about modern New York wine bars is that many aren’t really places to drop by for a drink. They’re places for steak frites, big saucy lobsters, cloudy natural pours and waiters doubling as sommeliers. I have another name for these kinds of places: restaurants. But Stars, by Chase Sinzer and Joshua Pinsky, the duo behind Claud and Penny, is a wine bar that’s truly a wine bar.
Salt Hank’s is great at roasting beef. But the West Village sandwich shop has proven truly outstanding at another form of vital alchemy: generating attention. Seth Meyers introduced the owner and viral recipe developer Henry Laporte to millions of late-night viewers. Influencers, many of them rakish dudes in printed T-shirts, rave about the $34 French dip. The city’s finest! Or maybe the world’s best? The West Village shop, upon opening, attracted the type of lines that recalled peak Cronut.

Central in Lima Named ‘World’s Best Restaurant’
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - A restaurant that’s been serving the Bryan community for almost 20 years is back open for business. Frittella Italian Cafe had its reopening this past Sunday, June 18.

You Don’t Need a Reservation to Eat at NYC’s Hottest Restuarants
Folks are getting nervous about finding a way into restaurants these days — fears that are not without merit. Patrons are crowding their favorite restaurants after spending way too much time in their cramped apartments. Rewards credit cards are giving participating diners an advantage with line-cutting services. Counter or communal seats, traditionally reserved for walk-ins, are increasingly showing up on Resy, which can work against patrons who simply show up to a restaurant hungry.
What Are NYC’s Finest Noodle Soups?
Owner of Variety Coffee Now Runs a Decades-Old Brooklyn Diner Gavin Compton, the owner of local coffee chain Variety Coffee Roasters, is now at the helm of Three Decker Diner in Greenpoint at 695 Manhattan Avenue, at Norman Avenue. Compton and Eduardo Sandoval —who operates Blue Collar, a burger spot with several NYC outposts, and Top Quality, a Mexican restaurant in Long Island City — took over the diner in July, just a few blocks from the Driggs Avenue location of Variety.
Where To Find NYC’s Best Noodle Soup
Every season is soup season in New York; it’s not uncommon to encounter waits at the city’s top ramen spots even in the summer months. Since it’s chilly outside and we have nearly two months of winter ahead, what better time to discuss favorite spots for hot, nourishing noodle soups? Dumpling Noodle Soup Ryan Sutton: Angolotti en brodo at Al Coro This was possibly one of the smallest bowls of soup and pasta I’ve encountered, especially at the steep price of $38 before tax and tip.
One of Japan’s Most Famous Ramen Shops Makes Some of NYC’s Most Boring Noodles
New York Filed under: First Look Tsuta in Dumbo isn’t yet ready for primetime by Jan 12, 2023, 1:54pm EST | Michael Tulipan/Tsuta Ramen If Times Square is the touristy Piazza Navona of New York, minus all the historic monuments, the Dumbo waterfront is our Instagrammable Amalfi coast. It’s a swatch of urban coastline less famous for acclaimed restaurants or everyday living, and more for its striking metropolitan vistas, boutique shopping options, and selfie-snapping out-of-towners.
Why a Fancy Tasting Menu Date Is Going to Cost You $1,000 in NYC
Daniel Krieger/Eater NY One of New York’s priciest restaurants is becoming more expensive as inflation continues to rage throughout the country. Thomas Keller’s Per Se, a service-included restaurant that lets patrons feast on white truffle risotto while admiring the billion dollar apartment buildings surrounding Central Park, is increasing its base price for the first time in four years.
That Fancy Tasting Menu Date Is Going to Cost You $1,000
5 hours ago Gen Korean BBQ House, a Korean barbecue restaurant with 30 locations across California, Nevada, and Arizona, has appeared in Union Square. The full-service, all-you-can-eat menu (for around $30) is located at 150 E. 14th Street, near Third Avenue, formerly the longtime home of 5 Napkin Burger. It …
NYC’s Best Steaks, Chops, and Red Meat of 2022
Our culinary zeitgeist can change from month to month, but there’s no denying New York is a Red Meat City. Even as we witness a boom in ambitious omakase parlors and thrilling vegetable-forward fare, hundred-year-old steakhouses and chophouses rank among the city’s most popular restaurants.
Does P.F. Chang’s Belong in NYC?
Last week, P.F. Chang’s opened its first, swanky full-service restaurant in New York City at 113 University Place, near 13th Street, in a 7,000-square-foot space that spans three floors. A spokesperson told Eater earlier this year that the location is part of a brand refresh, with updated lighting, sound systems, and staff uniforms.

Today, here are my selections for New York’s best dishes of 2022, some of which come from venues I didn’t get around to reviewing.
Eater Critic Ryan Sutton’s Best Restaurants of 2021
Shortly after dusk, the crowd at Spanish Diner in Hudson Yards gasped. At another José Andrés restaurant, a modernist foam or “liquid” olive might’ve prompted such a reaction. But on this warm September night, good Iberian food was not the main event. Folks were here to watch live television.
Lord’s Is British Meat Done Right
As New York continues to drown in generic brasseries and chophouses — venues where most diners could recite the menu from memory without ever seeing it in the first place — a damn fine Greenwich Village restaurant is packing the house with gutsy British fare. Tripe jiggles in Madeira sauce. Blood sausage and pig’s face enrich a cassoulet-like bowl of beans. Stilton-laced steam rises up from ox cheek pie, the flaky exterior topped with bone marrow butter.
This Review Won’t Prepare You For Your Wild Omakase at Noz 17
If you wanted to get a handle on the human psychology behind $1,000 sushi dates, you probably wouldn’t look to a piece of vegan nigiri. The city’s decadent crop of expensive omakase parlors lure in patrons with familiar doses of opulence, dishing out charcoal-torched bluefin, uni as creamy as soft serve, and hand rolls teeming with caviar.
Review: Ensenada Serves Some of New York’s Finest Fish Tacos
When superstar chef Enrique Olvera made his New York debut with Cosme in 2014, he didn’t just give the city one of it’s best new fine dining spots; he raised the bar on what Mexican restaurants could charge for labor-intensive moles, raw fish tostadas, and other dishes whose prices might have not ruffled as many feathers at upscale European brasseries or chophouses. Cosme’s two-deep bar crowds showed that New Yorkers were ready for delicious, innovative, and expensive Mexican fare.
McSorley’s Olde Ale House Raised Its Beer Prices But It’s Still a Deal
Ryan Sutton/Eater NY Eater NY is chronicling what we’re drinking right now in this occasional series on what we’re drinking. In our excitement over all of the other details of restaurants, we haven’t given drinks their due. Here’s the kickoff followed by this staff favorite. At the historic Irish bar McSorley’s in the East Village, where there are no jukeboxes or televisions, the signature beer mugs create their own music.
Ask the Critics: What’s the Best Sushi in NYC?
Alex Staniloff/Eater NY The going rate for a top-tier New York sushi meal is $400 before sake. It’s an absurd reality, fueled by supply chain issues, labor costs, and let’s be honest, plain old-fashioned greed. But here’s the saving grace: While New York’s best sushi will always trend in an expensive direction, you don’t have to spend an iPad’s worth of funds on an omakase date to have an incredible meal.

Review: Pecking House Is One of New York’s Top Hot Fried Chicken Spots
Pecking House The very first item on the Pecking House website’s FAQ addresses how spicy the fried chicken is. It’s a fair question, as the bird’s color and cragginess give it the look of something geologic, like cooling magma. Do not touch, warns the ochre hue. The Brooklyn restaurant has a different take. “We would describe it as medium spicy despite its intense appearance,” the website explains in a wholly incorrect statement.

Review: S&P Sandwiches Is An Antidote to NYC’s $30 Pastrami Era
Halfway through lunch at S&P, a staffer in a white apron walked the length of the lunch counter with a metal sheet pan. In that pan was a side of beef so blackened and heady it took on the appearance of a fresh meteor, still steaming from its trip through the galaxy. “That’s the pastrami,” a worker told us.
