American restaurants in New York

Best Of

  1. Hill Country Barbecue Market

    30 W. 26th St., New York, NY 10010

    Though the name is something of a misnomer (most great Texas barbecues are located east of Austin, not in the Hill Country), this institution succeeds in... More »

  2. Prime Meats

    465 Court St., Brooklyn, NY 11231

    This Germanic-American bistro in Carroll Gardens still roasts the best bone marrow in town. Prime Meats serves a single bone, but it's long, deep, and full of the stuff. It... More »

  3. Bobwhite Lunch & Supper Counter

    94 Ave. C, New York, NY 10009

    While the experience is decidedly more down-home than downtown, the expert, pressure-fried chicken at the tiny Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter might... More »

  4. Court Street Grocers

    485 Court St., Brooklyn, NY 11231

    Shops hawking artisanally crafted foodstuffs are a dime a dozen these days, especially in Brooklyn. However, Court Street Grocers stands apart from the pack, given... More »

  5. The Dutch

    131 Sullivan St., New York, NY 10012

    The menu at Andrew Carmellini's Soho venture hopscotches across our mighty country while giving props to Japan, Mexico, Italy, and beyond. Be forewarned: The restaurant is... More »

  6. Pies 'N' Thighs

    166 S. Fourth St., Brooklyn, NY 11211

    Frying up the best chicken in Williamsburg, and some of the best in Brooklyn, Pies-N-Thighs represents a sort of hipsterized Southern diner, a "meat and three" place that... More »

  7. Boat Basin Café

    W. 79th St., New York, NY 10024

    The so-called specialty burger is a thing of beauty -- a half pound of charred pink flesh with a bandolier of applewood-smoked bacon, a mantling of aged cheddar, and... More »

  8. DBGB

    299 Bowery, New York, NY 10003

    Daniel Boulud's most populist restaurant yet is dedicated to homemade sausages and beer. And what sausages! There's boudin Basque, crafted from pork blood and pig's head that forms... More »

  9. Out Of The Kitchen

    420 Hudson St., New York, NY 10014

    In its original location two blocks north, Out of the Kitchen was mainly a cookie and cupcake bakery, with a few sandwiches and hot carryout meals. Now a liquor... More »

  10. 5 Napkin Burger

    630 Ninth Ave., New York, NY 10036

    The eponymous burger requires three napkins, not five, but it's great anyway, laked with so much aioli it looks like melted cheese. The meat is high-quality, but it's... More »

  • Village Voice Tejal Rao writes for Village Voice on Alder

    Here is a bowl of New England clam chowder ($15), the stock, thickened with potato, a silky conduit for the flavors of clams, bacon, and bay leaf, served with a bowl of "oyster crackers." You know this dish, but there are those silly quotation marks, relics of menu-writing, reminding you that things aren't always what they seem. Culinary tricks can be gimmicky and exhausting, and eaters...

  • Village Voice Tejal Rao writes for Village Voice on Feast

    If you've stood with friends and watched a piglet roast over the coals, or passed around a gratin dish so heavy that you sprained a wrist, you've feasted. Its meaning is old and its form isn't fixed, but we all know a feast when we're at one. It involves the sort of joyful and unpretentious eating that predates restaurant culture by thousands of years.

    Newly opened Feast in the East...

  • Many New Yorkers cherish memories of New England seacoast vacations. And a visit to a lobster pound, clam shack, or oyster bar poised by the water or on a dock is often one of those favorite sensory snapshots. The food isn't complicated—fried or boiled seafood, french fries, mayonnaisey coleslaw—but the taste is enhanced by the proximity of lapping waves and the smell of...

    Great Show! NYC's long running variety burlesque show.
    Unique and eye popping acts, a bevy of burlesque beauties, and live blues and jazz stylings.

    Great burgers, great cold beers. Loved it when I lived there in the 70's and couldn't wait to visit when I returned to NY in 2006!

    Great food, nice place to grab a drink outside. Don't miss the Taco stand on the side door. Some of the most authentic in NY for sure
