Looking to spice up your dining experience? Below are some of my favorite NYC restaurants that will give you all the vibes. Be sure to call ahead of time to make reservations & hear about any restrictions they have due to pandemic:
Bond St.(NOHO) – One of my favorite restaurants of all time. Its truly my go-to. They have an incredible Japanese menu. I also highly recommend their jalapeño margaritas & bread pudding for dessert (trust me). This place is such a vibe. Super dim lit but the crowd is great.
Catch Steak (Meatpacking) – Okay you want both dinner & a party? Head to Catch Steak. I’ve been here multiple times & the vibes are incredible. It’s also a celeb hot spot (I’ve had my fair share of encounters here). When you’re done be sure to head upstairs for a drink. Depending on when you read this their lounge may be open so make sure you hang around.
ABC Kitchen (Flatiron) – Another favorite of mine. This Jean George restaurant is an absolute must. Their menu is constantly changing. This is great spot to go with a large groups of friends as they are known for their small plates. Between the dim lighting & insanely chic decor you won’t be disappointed.
Lure Fishbar (SOHO) – If you are looking for a more chill vibe but still a great crowd Lure Fishbar is for you. This trendy Seafood spot is amazing. Not only will you feel like your inside a yacht but you won’t be disappointed by their menu either (especially the drinks).
La Esquina (Multiple Locations) – I had to include La Esquina on this list. If you’re craving delicious margaritas & fresh guac this Mexican spot is for you. I have a blast every time I go here. They have multiple locations with their most famous one being in SOHO at “The Corner”. It’s known for being a trendy speakeasy restaurant located in the basement of the The Corner Deli. Be sure to make reservations with your party a few weeks in advance.
