Where to eat in New York

Di Fara Pizza

Dom DeMarco has been making pizza in Midwood, Brooklyn since 1965. He cuts fresh basil with scissors over each pie. The regular slice — crispy, oily, perfect — is worth the trek and the wait.

Peter Luger Steak House

Cash only, rude waiters, no menu needed — just say 'steak for two' and get the best porterhouse in New York. The sizzling butter plate arrives and everything else becomes irrelevant. Book weeks ahead.

Los Tacos No. 1

A tiny stand in Chelsea Market serving the best tacos in Manhattan. The adobada (al pastor) and the nopal (cactus) tacos are authentic Mexico City quality. Cash only, always a line, always worth it.

Atomix

A 14-seat Korean tasting menu restaurant in Midtown where each course comes with a card explaining the dish. The precision and creativity are Michelin three-star calibre. One of the most unique dining experiences in the city.

Dhamaka

Indian food from regions that never make it to American menus — rabbit kidney, goat brain, and the most intensely flavoured biryanis. The Essex Market location is gritty and loud. Reservations essential.

Xi'an Famous Foods

Hand-pulled noodles and cumin lamb burgers from Xi'an province. The spicy liang pi cold noodles are addictive and everything is under $15. Multiple locations — the Chinatown original has the most character.

Le Bernardin

Eric Ripert's seafood temple is New York fine dining at its pinnacle. The barely-cooked fish preparations are sublime — try the tuna with foie gras. Jacket required, experience unforgettable.

Lucali

A BYOB pizza restaurant in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn with no phone and no website. The pizza is thin, crispy, and perfect. Bring wine, queue from 4:30pm, and prepare for one of the best pizzas of your life.
