10 ICONIC PLACES TO EAT IN NYC

It’s impossible to eat at every restaurant in New York, and it’s a constantly changing task to confidently say what the “best” restaurants are.

This is simply a list of my favorite places to eat the quintessential New York City classics. These are the places I always bring out-of-towners because I love them, and I hope you do too.

Bagels at Absolute

You can find bagels anywhere in NYC, of varying prices and standards – but Absolute Bagels on Broadway. Oh, Absolute. The bagels are warm and chewy and doughy – the perfect New York City bagel.

Breakfast at Buvette

This French-inspired bistro in West Village is cozy and chic, complete with excellent espresso and an exceptional wine list.

Brunch at Freeman’s

New York City loves brunch and tucked away in a hidden graffiti-lined alley in the Lower East Side of New York City is fan favorite, Freeman’s.

Spicy chicken sandwiches at The Commodore

This windowless dive bar in Brooklyn is dark and crowded and loud, and the back courtyard is filled with cigarette smoke and cheap patio furniture.

The home of “I’ll have what she’s having,” Katz’s is definitely a touristy spot but for good reason. The hand-carved hot pastrami sandwich is as good as it gets.
