Most Famous Restaurants In New York City

If there is one thing that we can all love, it’s food. Food, in many different ways, creates a completely unique experience and can change how we see the world. It will bring us together, and even in a strange new place, food is a constant – even if it’s something we’ve never tried before. So, where can we find the best food? New York City is known for a lot of things, and bringing all kinds of food together into one city is definitely one of them. Every corner has a restaurant, and new ones pop up every day. But to be really special, that takes something that not all of them have. It takes a certain je na sais quoi. Whatever that magical quality is, these restaurants are certain to have it.

New York Icons

When it comes to food in New York City, The Hard Rock Café is probably the most iconic restaurant there is. Perfect for a night out with fun, food, and music, this is a must try for all food and music lovers, or even just for those looking to see some New York City classics.

TV Restaurants

In an age of reality television and cooking shows, it’s difficult to miss the New York restaurants that have been featured by a favorite TV chef. Gordon Ramsay’s amazing food and colorful personality are featured pretty much everywhere we look, and The London, which he owns, is a hard place to miss for someone in love with his work.

Celebrity Hotspots

Sometimes there are things more important than food, and seeing a celebrity enjoying a good meal can be one of them. Of course, the food is important as well, and had better be good. While celebrity hotspots change from day to day and week to week, Minetta Tavern is a hard to miss on the celebrity list. It’s easy to find a celebrity or two in this restaurant, and there’s also a good meal to be had.

Trying it All

Sometimes just one place won’t satisfy, and that’s where the NYC Restaurant Week comes into play. Sadly, it has finished for this year, but there will be another round ready to go next year. Each year, for one week, restaurants offer amazing deals, so that everyone can get a little bit of everything. The top rated restaurants make the list, and the week promises food and enticing sensations for every taste bud. It’s a must try for anyone looking to sample five star cuisine from the Big Apple.

In the end, what food we eat is a very personal thing. Even a five star restaurant can disappoint someone, somewhere. But when it comes to food, there are places that can’t be beat for their style, variety, and quality. New York City is one of those places. Cuisine from everywhere around the world can be found in this one city, and all of it can be found expertly made by top chefs. It’s a world of food, all brought together in one city, and it’s definitely worth the trip through the cultures.
