Restaurants in New York City
Eating out is a way of life in New York, from the famous diner breakfasts and brunches, to some of the finest restaurant experiences in the world. Even grabbing a hotdog from a street vendor feels somewhat iconic.
An eating out guide for New York is an encyclopaedic task in itself, but visitors should still make a reservation well in advance to avoid disappointment. It is not unreasonable for patrons to call for a table in the trendiest restaurants a few months in advance. Sales tax of 8.875% is automatically added to the bill but service charges are only standard for large groups.
The New York restaurants have been split into three price categories:
Expensive (over $65)
Moderate ($35 to $65)
Cheap (up to $35)
These prices include starter, main course and dessert. Tax and a customary tip of 15-20% are not included.

Expensive

Grillhouse
Come for the views (of Central Park), stay for the food. This is about as good as it gets for carnivores, with steaks done to absolute perfection, including a subtle chilli-rubbed Rib Eye. In case that all sounds too healthy, there’s also butter-poached lobster for some wild indulgence. Chef Michael Lomonaco oversees the meat feast.
