Dirt Candy
Vegetarian, Vegan · ★ Michelin
$$$$
Chef Amanda Cohen was an early advocate of vegetable-focused cooking, and her Lower East Side restaurant continues to explore the possibilities of seasonal produce through a highly creative lens. The menu evolves frequently, drawing on a wide range of vegetables and preparations that reflect both the season and the ideas of the kitchen. A single tasting menu offers a succession of dishes that play with form and flavor, often reimagining familiar ingredients in unexpected ways. Compositions may incorporate a mix of raw, cooked, pickled and preserved elements, with an emphasis on contrast and ex

Contemporary · ★ Michelin
$$$$
This understated Lower East Side dining room may appear modest, but the tasting menu under the calm leadership of Chef Samuel Clonts is anything but. This is precise, polished cooking where ingredient quality, texture and technique speak loudly. Unexpected early bites like a breakfast taco set the tone, while dishes such as Hokkaido scallop highlight balance and finesse. Soft scrambled eggs with shio-koji butter, stracciatella-filled cannelloni and a composed short rib demonstrate control. The meal peaks with a goat milk ice cream, a beautiful study in texture.Warm, knowledgeable service and a

Torien
Japanese, Yakitori · ★ Michelin
$$$$
Blacked-out windows mark the entrance to this NoHo sibling to Tokyo's Torishiki; diners are then buzzed in at street level, both of which add to the mysterious proceedings. A staff member then pulls back a curtain—et voila—you're here. Inside, Executive Chef Hideo An may be found working his skills like a master pianist—turning, fanning, saucing and brushing. It's a pristine workspace and the menu is a tribute to the yakitori tradition. Naturally, chicken takes center stage, though binchotan charcoal plays as vital a role as the fowl itself, with the aroma becoming one with the space and skewe

On the edge of Chinatown, Chef Fidel Caballero is not holding anything back. Whether you sit at the kitchen counter for the ambitious tasting menu or order à la carte in the boisterous dining room, the cooking is a singularly original and bold celebration of Mexican cuisine. If anything, there must be an order of sourdough tortillas somewhere on the table. Made with Sonoran wheat and chicken fat, these delicate, perfectly griddled discs served with recado negro butter will lock in a return visit. Better yet, this won’t be the only course worth returning for. The likes of lobster nicuatole, bla

Torrisi
italian · ★ Michelin
$$$$
There is perfection in the details at Torrisi, where waiters are crisply dressed in dinner jackets and tables are draped in pressed linens, but the buzzy warmth is as charming as the good looks. Nestled inside the landmark Puck Building, this highly imaginative restaurant expertly balances the creative and the familiar. Nothing feels copied or contrived, and while some of the dishes may seem familiar, they've all been revamped with panache. The team caters to excited diners who feast on items like tuna with pickled caponata, penne with sauteed baby chanterelles in a luscious butter sauce, and

Estela
american · ★ Michelin
$$$$
A modern New York classic, Estela continues to set the standard for confident, ingredient-driven cooking in a relaxed, downtown setting. Chef Ignacio Mattos’s menu of shareable plates is at once restrained and expressive, built on unexpected combinations that feel both natural and precise. Signature dishes, such as ricotta dumplings with mushrooms and the crisp, ink-stained arroz negro with squid and hazelnuts, remain as compelling as ever. The room is lively yet composed, with a thoughtful wine list and polished, attentive service that enhance the experience. Consistent, distinctive and influ

Revered chef Tadashi “Edowan” Yoshida commands this seriously impressive counter. Named for the town in Nara Prefecture where his father was born, there is a precise quality to every facet of this space — as in the hinoki counter (sourced from a 300-year-old tree) and handmade chairs to the knives crafted by a master from Saga Prefecture.This meticulous approach carries through to a masterful omakase that features an array of distinct cooked fare in addition to impressively sourced sushi. Meals bring an element of theater, so much so that diners will find themselves leaning in to absorb every

Tuome
Fusion, Asian Contemporary · ★ Michelin
$$$
Classically trained Chef Thomas Chen is the one to thank for the fabulous Tuome. It's an Asian-inspired menu, which is no surprise as the chef is a master of weaving together ingredients to delicious and surprising effect. The intimate space is outfitted with a backlit bar, bay windows, and comfortable purple seats. Service is fittingly unfussy yet deeply knowledgeable. Don’t miss the seared octopus served atop pork XO sauce or the lamb chops, served perfectly medium rare and finished with a shishito chimichurri, black pepper jus, and a dollop of onion soubise. Finally, deep-fried buns which a
