All of Our Restaurant Recommendations, Mapped

“Where should I eat?” It’s a question we hear constantly, and one we spend a considerable amount of time — almost all of our time, actually — answering with as many different solutions as possible. There is no one perfect response to this question, of course, which is why we try to supply a variety of useful suggestions: Do you want to try a charming European-style inn in the West Village? An all-night Dominican burger bodega? Coconut-jelly pie from a brand-new Thai bakery?

There are so many ways to eat well in New York. We provide these recommendations in several different places: Our critic Matthew Schneier’s list of the 43 best restaurants in New York, our monthly guide to the most interesting under-the-radar restaurants in the city, a round-up of the best New York City restaurants for kids, and the Cheap Eats spectacular that we brought back earlier this year. We think that, taken together, this group of guides represents the widest possible survey of the best restaurants in New York, no matter what kind of experience you want.
