Rank 875. Pennsylvania 6 NYC
Seafood
Oak-paneled walls and Art Deco bones give this seafood bar and grill the feel of a Manhattan that existed before Madison Square Garden became a tourist landmark. The menu leans hard into oysters, Little Neck clams, and lobster rolls, with a beer list long enough to keep the IPA faithful occupied. It draws the kind of crowd that knows exactly where it's going in a neighborhood where most people are just trying to find the arena.

Rank 875. San Matteo
Pizzeria
A Neapolitan pizza and cucina spot on the Upper East Side with large windows that swing open in warm weather, a wine cellar visible from the dining room, and enough space between tables that a conversation stays your own. The crust runs thin and light, the kind that doesn't need a verdict. Croquettes, pasta, and calzones round out the menu, and the staff manages attentive without hovering, which in New York is its own achievement.

Mismatched chairs, flour-dusted pastry cases, and the low roar of Columbia students debating things that will not change the world: this cash-only cafe on Amsterdam Avenue has been doing its thing across from the Cathedral of St. John the Divine forever. The European pastries run from morning to close, the coffee is strong, and nobody is in any hurry for you to leave.

Rank 977. 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 977. 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 977. 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 977. 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 977. 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 992. 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.
