Restaurants in New York City

Restaurants are where you go to eat a meal, whether you want a quick takeout order, a sit-down dinner, or a space for a private gathering. Many of the places listed here offer takeout, private events, and gift cards, and the menus often feature comfort staples such as fried chicken, waffles, mac and cheese, and biscuits with gravy. Menus and offerings vary from place to place, so check what each one serves before you go. Before you choose one for a group, call ahead to ask whether they take reservations or accept walk-ins, and confirm the private event options if you need a space. If you plan to visit at a busy time such as a weekend evening, booking a table in advance can save a long wait.
