  87. Linen-draped tables and big windows set a composed stage for silky spreads, fragrant stews, and grilled meats that define Persian cooking in the city. The eggplant halim—a creamy roasted dip layered with lentils and yogurt—and saffron chicken kebab served over cherry-studded rice confirm the kitchen's command.

  88. Rank 88. The Phraya

    Contemporary Thai

    Red lanterns cast the Upper East Side in Bangkok light at Tha Phraya, where regional Thai cooking moves beyond green curry into Northern sausage spring rolls and khao soi, Southern Phuket curries, and zabb hang—rice noodles tangled with pork and meatballs in house-made brown sauce. Cocktails named for temple festival games complete the immersion.

  90. A glamorous Flatiron temple where French technique meets steakhouse tradition under Daniel Boulud's direction. Leather-lined bar, soaring ceilings, and tableside Caesar salads precede dry-aged beef and roving trolleys of prime rib—the kind of room where the architecture itself suggests money changing hands.

  91. Chef José Luis Chávez's first sit-down restaurant brings the energy of his market stalls into a clean, modern space where Peruvian ceviche—both traditional and Nikkei-inflected—justifies a visit alone. The pulpo al olivo, its tender octopus dressed in olive-forward tiger's milk with avocado and fried capers, suggests a kitchen that understands restraint.

  92. Rank 92. Cosme

    Modern Mexican

    Cosme's moody dining room and polished bar serve seasonally inventive Mexican cooking, from uni tostadas with bone marrow to duck carnitas. The corn husk meringue alone justifies the price.

  93. Rank 93. Rezdôra

    Emilia-Romagna Italian

    A Flatiron dining room devoted to the pasta traditions of Emilia-Romagna, where handmade anolini and gramigna arrive in their plainest, most persuasive forms. The cooking here trusts simplicity—fried gnocco with cured pork, ragù finished with Parmigiano—and asks nothing more of you than appetite and respect for the region's canon.

  94. Rank 94. Jupiter

    Italian

    The team behind SoHo's King moves uptown to Rockefeller Center with a bright room of green lacquered chairs and open kitchen. Mozzarella arrives with crushed chickpeas and roasted radicchio; spaghetti alle vongole and paccheri verdi with pork, sage, and lemon follow with restrained precision. The kitchen understands that clarity and ingredient quality matter more than complexity.

  96. A West Village trattoria where rustic Italian cooking—charred vegetables, silken pasta, snow of Parmigiano—arrives with such seeming ease that you simply sit back and savor the meal. The wait stretches hours, the tables fill nightly, yet the food's unpretentious grace justifies the hunger.

  97. Andrew Carmellini's fine-dining return occupies the Fifth Avenue Hotel with sapphire velvet booths and an open kitchen turning out Mediterranean-leaning dishes. A crab mille-feuille of delicate wafers and sweet meat in Meyer lemon sauce, or scallops in coconut-turmeric broth, suggest a chef working in layers of restraint and indulgence at once.

  98. At Sushi Yasuda, honey-toned wood and bamboo offer the only warmth in a deliberately austere room where punctuality is non-negotiable. The itamae controls your meal from behind the counter, assembling classical nigiri—bluefin, uni, sayori with shiso—with deliberate care that lets each piece's robust flavor speak. The place ignores fashion and rewards those willing to submit to its rhythms.
