New York City Unveils 100 Best Restaurants for 2024
New York City continues to astound food lovers with its diverse culinary landscape. This year, the prestigious title of top restaurant goes to Semma, a standout for its vibrant South Indian flavors. The competition, however, is fierce, with over 20,000 restaurants competing for recognition. The 2024 list, curated by interim critics Priya Krishna, Melissa Clark, and editor Brian Gallagher, features a total of 100 must-visit eateries across all five boroughs, celebrating both classic and contemporary cuisines.
The process to finalize the list was no small feat. After combing through a wealth of options, the team merged Pete Wells’s 2024 recommendations with their own discoveries, sampling a plethora of dishes that cater to various tastes and budgets. The top rankings include culinary gems such as Atomix for its innovative Korean tasting menu and Le Bernardin, perennial favorite known for its exquisite seafood.
This year’s list also introduces a new "favorites checklist" feature, allowing diners to track their must-try spots and easily share them with friends. Notable entrees from the ranking include Ha’s Snack Bar for its eclectic fusion of French and Vietnamese, and Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi, known for its Afro-Caribbean flair.
With this list, the critics aimed to answer pivotal questions: Where would they send friends for an unforgettable meal? What establishments are worth a splurge, or even a subway trek? Ultimately, the selections celebrate not just the food, but the collective efforts of the myriad workers and culinary artists who bring these dining experiences to life.
For food enthusiasts and locals alike, this year’s list serves as a vital guide to navigating the ever-evolving New York dining scene.
