  85. Rank 85. 53

    Pan-Asian Chinese

    A soaring dining room of burnished wood and sleek angles—designed to match the ambition of its MoMA neighbor—houses a Pan-Asian kitchen that executes soup dumplings with black truffle and clay-pot rice with the precision of haute technique. The housemade ice creams arrive as the final proof that this Altamarea Group venture understands New York polish down to its sweetest detail.

  86. The dining room sprawls across the Upper West Side like a gallery, all soaring ceilings and gilded sculpture. Sempre Oggi executes the Italian canon—house-made rigatoni with guanciale and roasted tomato, calamari brightened with herbs and crème fraîche—with enough precision to justify the grandeur, while a properly fluffy tiramisu closes things out with classical comfort.

  88. Rank 88. HWARO

    Korean

    An unmarked counter on the second floor of a Midtown steakhouse, where Chef Sungchul Shim orchestrates a twenty-two-seat fusion of Korean flavor and French precision across a composed, unhurried evening. The brown butter miso opens into wild amberjack, abalone, and white soy custard with caviar, each plate a small study in restraint and technique.

  93. Rank 93. Elcielo

    Colombian

    Chef Juan Manuel Barrientos orchestrates a two-star tasting menu in the Virgin Hotel that channels tropical Colombia through dishes like shio koji duck with passion fruit sabayon. Floor-to-ceiling windows and theatrical touches—a bread tree, chocolate experience, coffee ceremony—transform the meal into something between fine dining and curated theater.

  94. An intimate dining room where Dan Barber lets vegetables—sourced from his Stone Barns farm upstate—speak for themselves with minimal intervention. The single seasonal menu arrives family-style, grains and occasional proteins orbiting the produce, each plate marked by restraint and confidence in its raw material. Eating here feels like witnessing a cook who trusts what he grows enough to step back.

  95. Rank 95. Hyderabadi Zaiqa

    Hyderabadi Indian

    A sliver of a dining room in the Theater District where Mohammad Tarique Khan and Jayesh Naik execute Hyderabadi cooking with understated precision—samosas arrive golden and crisp, their potato filling properly spiced, while the goat fry biryani builds layers of fragrance across bone-in meat and long-grain rice. Service moves with rare grace through the tight quarters; arrive solo or in pairs.

  97. Rank 97. Smithereens

    New England Seafood

    Down a flight of stairs in the East Village, Smithereens channels a New England seafood shack with a downtown edge. Chef Nick Tamburo works the grill—amberjack belly over binchotan, mackerel sharpened with seaweed and ginger—while sommelier Nikita Malhotra's mostly white list mirrors the cooking's brightness. The celery root float alone justifies the descent.

  99. At Lilia, pasta commands attention, but the opening moves—fried dough with cacio e pepe spice, blowfish in Sicilian lemon, charred focaccia with green garlic butter—arrive with equal ambition. These early dishes establish the restaurant's gift for marrying rustic Italian foundations with precise, burnished technique.
