Named the number 1 restaurant on the New York Times 100 Best Restaurants in New York City in 2023 and 2024, we agree that this spot is special. It has one of the most fun and creative menus we’ve ever seen, and each dish is filled with nostalgia and love for the city 📍 Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi (Lincoln Center, Manhattan) #blackownedrestaurants #caribbeanrestaurant #africanrestaurant #nycrestaurants #blackownedrestaurant #RestaurantReview

This is New York’s top rated restaurant, but food critics won’t admit it. We pulled the numbers, and this spot averages an incredible 9.6 out of 10 (higher than any other restaurant in the city), but it has received no major awards, and very little positive attention from the media 🤷‍♀️ 📍4 Charles Prime Rib (West Village, Manhattan) #4charlesprimerib #nycrestaurants #bestnycrestaurants #bestrestaurant #nycsteakhouse #nycfood

Our top 3 must try restaurants in SoHo, after trying and ranking over 800 restaurants in New York City. 📍Lucia Pizza of SoHo, Raoul’s, Roscioli (SoHo, Manhattan) #sohofood #nyctravel #sohorestaurant #travelnyc #sohoeats #sohonyc

Our number 1 Italian sandwich in Manhattan, after trying and ranking over 30 of the city’s best. Full ranked Italian sandwich list on the Beli app. The “Uncle Jimmy” from 📍 Regina’s Grocery (Nolita & Lower East Side, Manhattan) #italiansandwich #sandwich #nycdeli #nycfood #asmrfood #nycsandwich

The top 3 rated Korean barbecue restaurants in NYC, based on 25 million ratings on Beli. Disclaimer: all three of these spots are quite high-end, and might be better grouped in a growing category of Korean “steakhouses”. Honorable mention to bōm, which is actually higher rated than all three, but at at $275/person for their wagyu-centric tasting menu, felt like something else entirely 📍 HYUN, COTE, Nubiani #koreanbbq #koreanbarbecue #kbbq #nyckoreanfood #nycsteakhouse #koreanrestaurant

The number one rated Italian restaurant in NYC across over 25 million ratings on Beli – we think this spot is worth the hype 📍Torrisi (Nolita, Manhattan) #italianrestaurant #carbone #nycitalianfood #bestnycrestaurants #bestrestaurants #nycfood

This top rated new Indian restaurant in New York City is from Michelin-starred Chef Vikas Khanna and the group behind GupShup. We particularly loved the atmosphere in this beautiful high-ceilinged space that is meant to look like India’s vintage clubhouses.📍Bungalow (East Village, Manhattan) #nycindianrestaurants #nycindianfood #indianrestaurant #indianrestaurants #newrestaurant #nycrestaurantreviews

Our 3 favorite walk-in-only restaurants in NYC* Getting restaurant reservations in New York has gotten out of control, so sometimes it’s nice to have a spot that requires a little less planning ahead. That’s not to say these spots are necessarily easy to get into (that would be too good to be true), but they are delicious and no-res. *Win Son does take reservations for parties of 6+ 📍 Fiaschetteria Pistoia (West Village, Manhattan), Win Son (Williamsburg, Brooklyn), Quique Crudo (West Village, Manhattan) #nycrestaurant #nycrestaurantreviews #nycfoodies #nycfoodie #nycfood #nyrestaurants

Our top 3 slice shops in Manhattan. New York pizza is one of our favorite foods on this planet, and in our opinion, these 3 spots are among the very best. Honorable mentions: Sal & Carmine’s, Scarr’s, and Joe’s Pizza 📍 Lucia Pizza of SoHo (SoHo, Manhattan), Mama’s Too (Upper West Side & West Village, Manhattan), L’Industrie Pizzeria (West Village, Manhattan & Williamsburg, Brooklyn) #newyorkpizza #nycpizza #pizzanyc #pizzareview #toppizza #pizzatour

The top rated restaurant in Boston (technically Somerville), based on 25 million ratings on Beli. This spot was our favorite restaurant when we used to live in Boston, and our recent visit lived up to our memories. The menu is extensive, with a lot of interesting fusions between Mediterranean, Spanish, Southern US, and a bunch of other influences 📍 Sarma (Somerville, MA) #bostonrestaurants #bostonrestaurant #bostonfoodie #bostonfoodies #bostoneats #RestaurantReview

One of the top 10 rated sushi restaurants in NYC, and it’s only $75 per person. This spot manages to be perfect for a lot of different types of diners—whether it’s your first omakase experience, or you have been everywhere and just want an affordable omakase. The food is similar to their sister restaurant Shinn East (one of our favorites), but with a bit more atmosphere 📍 Thirteen Water (East Village, Manhattan) #nycsushi #sushinyc #nycomakase #omakasenyc #omakasesushi #nycfood

This new Indian restaurant is from the chef behind another recent standout Kebab aur Sharab, and the group behind popular Malaysian spot Laut. The high-ceilinged Union Square space is a great setting for a menu full of coastal Indian dishes we’ve mostly never had before, but loved 📍 Kanyakumari (Union Square, Manhattan) #nycindianfood #nycindianrestaurants #bestindianrestaurant #indianrestaurant #indianrestaurants #newnycrestaurant

Our 3 favorite new burgers in NYC in 2024. Full ranked NYC burger list on the Beli app 📍 The Lions (East Village), Gotham Burger Social Club (Lower East Side), Portrait Bar (NoMad) #nycburgers #nycburger #newyorkburger #burgerreview #bestburger #burger

The number 1 rated Italian restaurant in Boston (a city with some excellent Italian food) based on 25 million restaurant ratings on Beli. Every dish we tried was great, but we are still dreaming about those cappelleti bursting with melted taleggio cheese 📍 Tonino (Jamaica Plain, Boston) #bostonfoodie #italianrestaurants #bostonrestaurant #italianrestaurant #bostonrestaurants #foodtravel

Our 3 favorite lobster rolls we ate while visiting Boston this week. Fun Fact: we actually started Beli while living in Boston, so we have a longstanding love for the Boston food scene–not least of all their excellent lobster roll options 📍 Row 34 (Seaport), Neptune Oyster Bar (North End), Saltie Girl (Back Bay) #lobsterrolls #bostontravel #lobsterroll #bostoneats #bostonfoodie #bostontrip

Our top 3 must try restaurants in Williamsburg, after trying and ranking over 800 restaurants in New York City. What do you think we missed? 📍L'industrie Pizzeria, The Four Horsemen, Misi (Williamsburg, New York) #williamsburgeats #nyctravel #williamsburgfood #travelnyc #williamsburgbrooklyn #brooklynrestaurants

The top rated new Thai restaurant in NYC, this spot is located in a stunning Upper East Side space filled with wood and tile imported from Thailand. The menu is stacked with dishes from throughout the country, many of them less commonly found in NYC restaurants 📍 Tha Phraya (Upper East Side, Manhattan) #nycrestaurant #thairestaurant #thairestaurantnyc #thairestaurants #nycrestaurants #nycrestaurantreviews

The New York bagel scene is on fire at the moment. You have celebrity/VC-backed phenomenon Popup Bagels, 7th Street Burger-backed Apollo Bagels, Utopia Bagels moving into Manhattan, and then amazing collabs like this one. When we were invited in to try Greenberg’s bacon egg and cheese with bacon from New York’s top BBQ spot, Hometown Barbecue, it was a no-brainer. Whether you like the new hype around the NYC bagel scene, or prefer whatever happens to be your nearest bagel shop, all of these spots are putting out great food, and it’s been a lot of fun to try 📍 Greenberg’s Bagels (West Village, Manhattan) #bec #bagelsandwich #nycbagel #baconeggandcheese #pastramisandwich #newyorkbagels

This spot is kind of like Bernie’s meets Red Hook Taven meets an East Village dive bar, and we’re here for it. The burger lived up to the hype, and the cheesecake was one of the best we’ve had in recent memory 📍 The Lions (East Village, Manhattan) #nycburger #nycburgers #newyorkburger #bestburgers #burgerreview #eastvillagefood

Our new number 1 Mediterranean restaurant in NYC. This spot is bigger, more expensive, and more seafood-heavy than their sister restaurant, Miss Ada, but the price felt very justified to us given the food, drinks, space, and service. This is one of those spots where we loved everything we tried and still had about 10 dishes we wish we could’ve ordered 📍 Theodora (Fort Greene, Brooklyn) #mediterraneanrestaurant #brooklynrestaurant #brooklynfood #nycrestaurantreviews #nycrestaurantreview #nycfood
