Tucked away in a beautiful West Broadway brownstone across from Soho Grand Hotel. The Antibes little sister is quiet, tasteful, and has a great vibe. Much recommended spot on a snowy winter night.

Step into NYC’s party history with Indochine’s revival of Andy Warhol, Nylon, and all things cool. This is some of the early Asian fusion we knew in our bustling city and where social was coined before network was.

Didn’t make it to Moma before it closed - don’t worry. The gentleman who owns this classy “joint” also happens to own the largest private Warhol collection in the world and rotates many of his pieces around the restaurant. Food choice is just as exquisite as the art. Nothing we wouldn’t recommend off of the grand menu.

Another exquisite Jean-George classic sports not only a Micheline star - but two entrances and a modern living room look & feel. We love all things Jean-George and can’t speak enough good things about ABC. This is an absolute NYC must.

Step into the hidden world of tacos and tequila-inspired drinks. This Soho classic known for celebrity sightings and one of the toughest NYC doors is a hot Sunday item. Order the tortilla soup - prepare to be amazed.
From the creator of the famed Balthazar - Keith McNally - comes a fusion of old Pastis spirit, Balthazar chaos, and late-night Minetta approach. Enjoy this brasserie and make sure to wander over to the Beekman hotel next door for a drink afterward.

Ribalta is where true Neapolitan spirit meets New York energy—an authentic slice of Italy in the heart of the city. Beloved by locals, expats, and football fans alike, it’s more than a pizzeria; it’s a cultural hub where the dough is slow-fermented, the tomatoes are straight from San Marzano, and the vibe is unmistakably warm and loud in the best way. Reviewed by @globalnewyorker, this guide explores Ribalta through the lens of a city insider who knows exactly where to find the perfect bite—and the perfect espresso to follow.
