NYC Restaurants

Artisanal

Artisanal Brasserie | Murray Hill

2 Park Avenue (bet. Madison & Park)

212.725.8585

www.artisanalbistro.com

Notes: It’s all about the cheese, and the fondue is to die for. The onion soup is sensational as well. 


Fatty Crab

Fatty Crab Malaysian | Upper West Side

2170 Broadway (at 77th St)

212.496-2722

www.fattycrab.com

Notes: Casual, fun, affordable. Family-style Malaysian street food and great beers. Get your hands dirty and order the chili crab. The steamed pork buns are also delish. Convenient to the Beacon Theatre. 


Barbuto

Barbuto Rustic Italian | West Village

775 Washington St (bet Jane & 12th)

212.924.9700

www.barbutonyc.com

Notes: Casual, industrial atmosphere in a converted garage that used to sell Rolls Royces. Fresh, seasonal ingredients. Don’t miss the signature JW chicken with salsa verde or the potatoes with pecorino and rosemary. Noisy.


Balthazar

Balthazar Brasserie | SoHo

80 Spring St (bet B’way & Crosby)

212.965.1414
