This little place has big taste! Peruvian fusion dishes done well.

One of the most celebrated fine-dining restaurants in NYC.This three-star Michelin restaurant offers a French and globally influenced menu with a focus on seafood. With Chef Eric Ripert at the helm for over two decades, the restaurant has become world-renowned for its exceptional hospitality and expertly executed dishes. If you're looking for an outstanding classic fine-dining experience in New York, Le Bernardin should be high up on your list.

Daniel Boulud's glorious new restaurant reimagines New York's most hallowed institutions.Daniel Boulud's second floor restaurant in the vertigo-inducing One Vanderbilt is a seafood-forward showcase of the master's fine dining technique. The "mer et terre" menu features tender scallops with cauliflowr (mer) and a wonderfully comforting roasted chicken (terre).

The food is excellent. Top notch, friendly and intuitive service.Happy to see that Marea NYC lives up to its sterling reputation. The bustling dining room is elegant without being overly fussy, boasting a well-curated soundtrack that is eventually drowned out by the hearty discussions being had at the tables around us as the evening wears on. The food is excellent - we really can’t fault the dishes we tried, from the golden uovo to the rib eye. We were lucky enough to catch the end of corn season - if you’re a corn lover, order everything corn related on the menu, you won’t be disappointed. Above all else, however, the service is what stands out. Truly top notch, friendly and intuitive - and no doubt the reason why Marea has plenty of regulars. A slice of the finer life in NYC.

Iconic bistro of SoHoBaltazar has been my favourite in SoHo for almost 20 years, and in the full restaurant you may think everybody else thinks the same. It is always totally fully booked, A French bistro with an American twist, it is an extremely charming place. You can also sit outside but inside is the true charm of bubbling, almost noisy discussion. Famous for its oysters and typical French casual bistro menu. A classic institution - a must in SoHo. Book well in advance.

Chic place to relax after and long walk through Soho.This place is elegant, inviting and delicious. French concept that serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great spot to have your Sunday breakfast, mimosas on the speed button. Oysters champagne, bread with seaweed and plenty more. It’s an ideal place for a stop by after a long walk through Soho.

Subterranean seafaring bar with a New York-New Orleans spirit The Pincus brothers -- Miles and Alex -- have made a career of bringing old boats back to life as bars. This Tribeca restaurant and cocktail lounge is their first landlocked effort. In cozy art-filled subterranean quarters, the brothers Pincus proffer New Orleans-styled cocktails, a few New York classics, trays of oysters, lobster frites and more.

Amazing fresh seafood cooked to your liking.Don’t go here for the service but if you don’t mind a slightly chaotic restaurant experience once in a while, you will be rewarded with truly delicious seafood. You first pick out your dinner from the fish market in the back of the restaurant, then you bring it to the counter where you’ll pay and specify what you’d like grilled and what you’d like fried. A little (or longer) while later you’ll be seated and outcomes all that seafood you chose, but now it's cooked and smothered in lemon, oil and garlic. Don’t forget to bring your own wine and always order the Greek salad. Sop it all up with the house garlic bread and you are in for a real treat.

Casual but refined Spanish seafood and drinks If you’re a lover of seafood and you are looking for some truly simple yet Spanish-leaning delicious food in an unpretentious space, look no further than Cervo’s. Just steps from the East Broadway F train, Cervo’s is my go-to for date night and friend hangs because the unfussy dishes are designed for for sharing. The shrimps a la plancha and clams cooked in vinho verde are a must. Just make sure you order extra bread for soaking up the delicious sauces and everything goes better with a vermouth spritz or two.

My favorite sushi spot in NYC, chef Shion Uino's place is like a typical Japanese sushiya. Love the sea urchin tasting.New York has been known for a lot of expensive high end sushi, including Sushi Noz, Masa and Yoshino. But my personal favorite sushi spot in New York is Shion 69 Leonard Street. It has the style of a typical Japanese sushiya and is run by chef Shion Uino. One of his specialties is uni tastings, where he, depending on the season, serves 3-4 different types of sea urchins that he’s sourcing from Japan or from Maine or the West coast. The tasting is amazing.
