The Big Apple is tops in everthing: Shopping, nightlife, the advertising and financial worlds, and (last but not least) dining.
Historical restaurants in the city are a wonderful experience. Opened in 1937, Delmonico’s Steak House Grill is America’s first fine dining restaurant. Keens Steakhouse dates from the 19th century and displays appropriate memorabilia on its walls. Katz’s Deli is perfect for NYC history at affordable prices.
On the flip side, some of New York’s newest eateries provide a memorable meal as well. Fatty ‘Cue attracts barbeque fans with a novel approach. Recette puts an edgy spin on French cooking. ABC Kitchen is the farm-to-table brainchild of Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Other famous chefs have put down culinary roots in New York City. Lidia Bastinich takes her warm but professional approach to Italian food to her restaurant Felidia. Mario Batali’s Del Posto offers an unpretentious experience to high-quality dining. Daniel, the eponymous spot created by Chef Boulud, serves award-winning French cuisine in a grand atmosphere.
For additional good eats in Manhattan, try the spectacularly decked-out Lincoln (near Lincoln Center), the seafood brasserie at Millesime, the generous portions at Osteria Morini, or the traditional New York tastes during a pre-theater meal at Lambs Club.
