The Best Places to Eat in Manhattan, by the Record

  1. Rank 498. Gui Steakhouse

    Korean Steakhouse


  2. Rank 498. Loring Place

    Californian New American

    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.


  3. Rank 498. Make My Cake

    Southern Bakery


  4. Rank 498. Make My Cake

    Southern



  5. Rank 498. 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.
