New York City Guides
Find a New York meal, a jazz set or a game-day outing worth crossing the city for. Start with a guide and choose the neighborhood.
East Village and Lower East Side: Choose the Meal
Choose Ukrainian comfort food, a Houston Street deli or a vegetable-led dinner. The neighborhoods offer different reasons to sit down.
Greenwich Village Jazz: Choose the Set Before Dinner
Make a Blue Note or Village Vanguard performance the reason for the evening. Compare the actual room and the ticket before heading out.
NYC BBQ: Choose the Smokehouse and the Borough
Find a Red Hook barbecue meal, a Queens gathering spot or a Harlem smokehouse. Choose the trip as well as the tray.
NYC Family Outings: A Meal With Something Fun
Give the kids a singalong meal or a family bowling session. Choose the fun first and leave enough room to enjoy the food too.
NYC Restaurant Closures: Check Before Going Back
Modern Love Brooklyn closed in June 2025. Keep the old favorite attached to a clear current answer before making the trip.
Staten Island: Pizza in Port Richmond or a Taproom Stop
Choose Denino’s for a pizza meal or Flagship for a brewery visit. They are separate stops in different parts of the island.
