Rank 1230. Joe & Pat's Pizzeria & Restaurant
Staten Island Pizzeria
Staten Island's thin, crackery-crusted pizza has its own grammar, and this old-school pizzeria on Victory Boulevard is where that grammar was written. The vodka pie, draped in a creamy tomato sauce, is the one people make the trek for, though the cheese and pepperoni hold their own just fine. Calamari and clams show up as toppings, which is either ambitious or correct depending on how Staten Island you are.

Rank 1230. Jonny’s Pizza
Pizzeria
A Lower East Side slice shop open until 3:30 a.m. on weekends, Jonny's turns out thin, bubble-blistered pies that hold up at any hour, which is not something you can say about most places keeping those hours. The chef taught himself the craft through obsessive pizza eating and some deep Reddit rabbit holes, and the fermented dough shows it. The New York Times named it one of the city's 22 best pizza spots.

Rank 1230. La Cabra Roastery
Coffee
The individual library-style carrels built into the "solid oak retail structure" tell you everything: this Danish roastery and coffee shop in Bushwick is more serious than cozy. The cafe wraps across several storefronts of an upcycled industrial block, with roasting operations visible in back and a pastry counter up front where the warm staff, dressed in lab coats, quietly undercut the austere Scandinavian design. The pastries routinely upstage the excellent coffee.

Rank 1230. Louie & Ernie's Pizza
Pizzeria
A short staircase down from a quiet Schuylerville corner takes you into one of those slice shops that seems to exist slightly outside of time. Louie & Ernie's has been around forever, slinging margherita pies and sausage pizzas to a neighborhood that hasn't changed much either. The New York Times put it on their list of the city's 22 best pizza places, which is the kind of recognition that surprises no one who's actually been here.

Rank 1230. Loveless
New York Nordic Coffee Shop
The pink-tiled bar and arched mirrors make the Nordic-leaning coffee shop look like a pastel fever dream from 1987, and the baristas lean into the contrast by taking everything very seriously. Pour-overs and espresso drinks are made with their own roasts, and a bowl of oatmeal is on the table if you need it. Sustainability runs deep here, from compostable materials to a Loring roaster chosen specifically for its fuel efficiency.

The retro rotating oven here has no cold spots, which is the explanation for the char-marked, toothsome crusts coming out of this Great Kills slice shop. The New York Times put Nonna's on its list of the 22 best pizza places in the city, and the schlep to Staten Island is part of the deal. Don't skip the upside-down triangle, built cheese-first the way brick oven places do it, and the clam slice is worth the detour on its own.

Rank 1230. Patsy's Pizzeria
Coal-Oven Pizzeria
Coal-fired slice shops don't come much more old-school than this Upper West Side institution, where a whole pie still runs under $20 and the coal oven has been doing the same thing forever. The thin, soft crust holds big rounds of aged mozzarella, and the received wisdom here is to order it plain, because the pizza doesn't need your help. The pale outer edge is fine; everything inside it makes the case.

Rank 1230. Three Legged Cat
Coffee
A coffee shop in East Williamsburg that skips the iPad-flip tip prompt entirely, which alone earns goodwill before the espresso arrives. The team runs it as a multi-roaster cafe, rotating names like Onyx and Obscure Coffee, with excellent pastries from Native Bread alongside. Bar takeovers and barista events keep things lively without tipping into self-important. The vibe is coffee-serious without being coffee-cold, which in this neighborhood is a genuine achievement.

The curved ceiling and wood fixtures make this narrow coffee shop look a little like a vintage railway car, which is more than most cafes can say. The original location of what's now a multiborough roaster and chain, it pulls shots from seasonally rotating single origins and house blends alongside pastries from Colson. Warmer and more lived-in than the sterile white-box aesthetic that swept the neighborhood, with sidewalk seats for anyone who enjoys watching Williamsburg go by.

Rank 1391. Bathtub Gin
Speakeasy
A red light above an unmarked door in a Chelsea coffee shop is the only signal that there's a cocktail bar behind it. Once through, the room opens into flocked wallpaper, fringed lampshades, and an antique copper bathtub sitting squarely in the middle of things, which everyone photographs and then pretends they weren't going to. The seven-seat copper bar is the calmer alternative. Dressed-up but not stiff, and a long way from the espresso machine out front.

Rank 1391. Demi Monde Bar
Cocktail Bar
A basement cocktail bar in the Financial District with dark red walls, a chandelier, and macramé screens that somehow land between 1980s lounge and faint tiki, all packed into semicircular banquettes that seat over a hundred. The inventive menu carries the fingerprints of the Death & Co. team. On quieter weeknights they may seat you at the bar only, which is worth knowing before you bring a crowd.

Rank 1391. Dylan Prime Lounge
Cocktail Bar
The bar curves like the stern of a Spanish galleon, which should tell you what kind of night to expect. This candlelit cocktail lounge off the TriBeCa steakhouse of the same name leans into the drama: heavy drapes, tapestry walls, shaded pendant lights, and booths deep enough to disappear into. The back bar is loaded with premium spirits, and the Key Lime Pie cocktail was invented here, for better or worse.

Red Hook sits off every subway line, which keeps Fort Defiance comfortably local. This all-day neighborhood bar fits eight tables and a bar counter that seats twelve if everyone breathes in. The name nods to a nearby Revolutionary War fort that once blocked the British from the East River, which gives the place more historical gravitas than most spots this relaxed have any business claiming.

Rank 1391. Henry, A Liquor Bar
Cocktail Bar
The glowing floor stayed when the Hudson Hotel's Library Bar got its makeover, but the furniture got considerably more fashionable. This cocktail bar swings between loud dance music and live jazz depending on the night, with exposed brick, low tables, and lighting that flatters everyone equally. It's the kind of flirty hotel bar where the room does most of the work, and nobody seems to mind.

Rank 1391. Holiday Cocktail Lounge
Cocktail Bar
The horseshoe bar juts into the middle of the room like it owns the place, which, given the brown panelled walls and tasselled awning overhead, it kind of does. This St Marks dive bar closed for a few years and came back with its 1970s bones intact, including a mural salvaged from its earlier life as a burlesque lounge. A snack-food mogul bought the building, which is a sentence that belongs here and nowhere else.
