Rank 1602. Acme Downstairs Bar
Avant-garde Nordic
The last unmarked door at the end of a long basement corridor, no bell, no sign, just turn the handle. This is a cocktail bar tucked beneath a Nordic restaurant on Great Jones Street, sharing a kitchen with the dining room upstairs. The room reads as intentionally low-key, the kind of place where knowing how to find it is half the point, and the other half is that you actually got in.

Rank 1602. Chalupas Poblanas El Tlecuile
Pueblan Food Truck
A nomadic chalupa stand that bounces around northern Queens, posting intersections on Facebook like a food truck that's read too much Kerouac. Track it down and you're rewarded with tortillas fried in hot lard, then loaded with shredded pork, white onion, and whichever salsa you choose, or both. The New York Times named it among New York's top dishes of 2024 and ranked it on their 100 Best Restaurants list. Eight chalupas run about ten dollars.

Rank 1602. Kabab King
Indian
The servers at this Jackson Heights kebab counter have perfected the art of not noticing you exist, which a young rapper named Mr. Cardamom once called "horrendous and beautiful" while shooting a music video here. That rapper is now the mayor of New York City. The kebabs are tender, the biryani draws a crowd, and the room has been proudly scruffy for as long as anyone can remember.

Rank 1602. Little Branch
Cocktail Bar
Corrugated iron ceiling, pressed tin bar front, mustard walls: Little Branch looks like a speakeasy that forgot to close. This Greenwich Village cocktail bar carries the DNA of Milk & Honey, the late Sasha Petraske's legendary first act, which means classically made drinks taken seriously and a room that rewards staying a while. It's discreet enough to feel like a find, but open to anyone who can find the door.

Rank 1602. Middle Branch Bar
Cocktail Bar
A former antique shop on 33rd Street that now deals in classically built cocktails, organized on the menu by category the way a serious bar should be. This is a two-floor cocktail bar from the late Sasha Petraske's lineage, sibling to Little Branch, with communal high tables downstairs where live jazz pulls in the neighbors, and a looser, loungier room upstairs when you need to actually hear yourself think.

Rank 1602. Nitecap
Cocktail Bar
A basement cocktail bar on Rivington, reached by a utilitarian staircase and lit just enough to read the menu, which is worth reading because it's full of jokes. Booth seating, exposed brick, and a short row of spirits on the back bar keep things grounded for a room connected to Death & Co. The drinks are serious; the room refuses to be.

Rank 1602. Whitehall
Modern British
Edison bulbs over factory-tiled walls and a ceiling that looks like it never quite finished being renovated: Whitehall calls itself a "gastro bar" rather than a gastropub, and the distinction holds. It's a neighborhood cocktail bar on Greenwich Avenue with a modern British menu running alongside, but people mostly come for the warm room and the staff who seem to mean it. Think London train station, interpreted loosely and affectionately.

Rank 1632. American Cut
Modern American Steakhouse
Moody leather and brass in a Tribeca townhouse set the stage for a modern steakhouse that takes its theatrics seriously. USDA Prime and Japanese Wagyu go through a high-heat grill after dry-aging, and the kitchen consistently delivers on both. The room has a genuine late-night-Manhattan pull to it. Service can be uneven given the price point, but the cooking tends to carry the evening. It ranked 67th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.

The mid-century room, with its bright orange window frames and striped banquettes, looks like someone raided a very good vintage furniture store and then had the taste to stop. Dan Kluger's West Village restaurant leans vegetable-forward without making a cause of it, and the wood-oven pizzas made with house-milled whole wheat flour keep tables ordering rounds they didn't plan on. A downtown crowd that takes its produce seriously fills the place most nights.

Rank 1632. Spice Brothers
Middle Eastern
A shawarma stall on St. Marks Place so cheerfully cramped it barely counts as a room, run by two friends who once cooked for Daniel Boulud and apparently never got spices out of their system. The vertical spit is the anchor, but everything on the menu, labneh, falafel, harissa, gets the same obsessive seasoning treatment: cumin, cinnamon, dill, and a few turns you won't see coming. Named one of New York's best new restaurants of 2024 by the Times.

Rank 1632. Txula Steak
Basque Steakhouse
A 60-day aged Txuleton ribeye, cooked over a charcoal-fired grill and a Spanish wood oven, is the reason this Basque steakhouse inside Mercado Little Spain exists. The kitchen splits its sourcing between American producers and Spanish importers, which puts Ibérico pork and Spanish lamb alongside the beef with a logic that holds. Sommeliers steer you toward Spanish bottles, and the martini comes with olive oil-infused gin and a Basque gilda, because of course it does.

Rank 1670. Bien Cuit
French Bakery
The sign out front reads "pastry well done," which is essentially what Bien Cuit means and also a fair warning about their croissants. This French bakery in Cobble Hill turns out deeply caramelized pastries so symmetrical and architecturally precise they look almost too deliberate to eat. Eater put them on its best croissants in NYC list. Drier than the butter-pools-on-your-fingers school, but the lamination is immaculate. Additional locations in Crown Heights and Grand Central.
