New York City: Where To Eat

I’ve never been to a city that has so many things going on all the time. The everyday life of a New Yorker is both exciting and exhausting. We want to see it all, do it all yet cry and complain because there aren’t enough hours in the day.

Because the list of places to eat in the city is so extensive, I made a rule for myself the day I moved to New York:

Don’t eat at places you can eat in Miami and try not to repeat restaurants unless it’s your absolute favorite.

Here’s a list of all of my favorite restaurants in NYC condensed into one mega list.

Enjoy!
