Pizzaiolo Giulio Adriani (Olio Pizza e Piu) serves traditional Neapolitan pies at this Williamsburg eatery. The wood-burning brick oven was imported from Naples.

After a two-year hiatus, decorated pie slinger Mathieu Palombino returns to the borough with this 50-seat Williamsburg pizza shop. Rustic trappings include pressed-tin ceilings, pinewood flooring and metal light fixtures. Out of a Naples-imported wood-burning oven come favorites like the Margherita and the Sopressata Piccante (spicy pepperoni, fior di latte). Palombino expands the menu with new items, including his first calzone—a sausage-and-cheese variety dubbed the Rocky—plus the Melanzane pie (roasted eggplant, mint). Sidle up to the eight-seat marble-topped bar for cocktails, beers and regional Italian wines.

We really like eating around the city, and we're guessing you do, too. So lucky for all of us, we've packed all our favorite restaurants under one roof at the Time Out Market New York. The DUMBO location in Empire Stores has fried chicken from Jacob’s Pickles, pizza from Fornino, delicious bagels from Ess-a-bagel and more amazing eateries—all cherry-picked by us. Chow down over two floors with views of the East River, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline.  RECOMMENDED: The best things do in NYC

If you thought getting a table at Per Se was tough, try getting into Rao’s. On second thought, don’t. Rao’s (pronounced “RAY-ohs”) is really a private club without the dues. To eat here, you’ll need a personal invite from one of the heavy hitters who “owns” a table. These CEOs, actors, politicians, news personalities and neighborhood old-timers established a long-standing arrangement with the late, legendary owner Frankie “No” Pellegrino, and that's what ensures a seat at one of the ten tables at the Italian-American icon. In fact, reading this review is probably the closest you’ll get to Rao’s.

Indie filmmaker Ron Brown (A Perfect Fit, Consent) apprenticed with the Stefano Ferrara family, who make wood-burning pizza ovens in Naples, before opening his own Neapolitan-style pizzeria. Paulie Gee's alum Jon Greenberg is at the stove, executing a short menu of simple Italian fare, including Margherita, cremini-and-fennel-sausage and artichoke-and-smoked-pancetta pies. The rustic space features antique mirrors, Edison lightbulbs and a wood-and-tin ceiling.  

High above the Hudson on the rooftop of Pier 57, Miru feels like one of those rare New York discoveries. By day, it’s a calm escape for polished Bento lunches with a side of skyline views. By night, the lights warm, the vinyl comes out and the whole space shifts into an effortlessly cool rooftop lounge that feels both new and instantly familiar. It’s relaxed, buzzy and the perfect place to meet, sip and soak up the city from above. Executive Chef Rick Horiike brings his lifelong love for Japanese culinary craft and mastery to each dish on the menu. His career spans acclaimed kitchens like Morimoto, The Wall Street Hotel and the Michelin-recognized Ganso Group, blending tradition with modern creativity. At Miru, he curates refined sushi and seasonal Japanese dishes that align with the restaurant’s vision of upscale dining, thoughtful vinyl soundscapes, an expansive sake program and intimate private dining options. Lunch centers around Miru’s signature $45 bento boxes with elevated intentional options, ideal for anyone who wants something refined without slowing down. As the sun sets, the focus turns to shareable plates like sushi, sashimi and small bites that honor Japanese tradition while embracing a contemporary, social style of dining. It’s upscale without being fussy, and just as fitting for a date night as it is for an impromptu rooftop hang. The drinks alone deserve their own moment in the spotlight. The sake list is extensive, spanning crisp, aromatic junmai daiginjo...

I was drawn to the Upper West Side solely for a slice of pizza that had a whole mess of corn on it. But when I made my way past the threshold of the door, I was soon tempted by the full lineup just beyond the glass partition: squares showered with pecorino and Parmigiano, crumbles of fried chicken on another and slices of poached pear on the next. This is the decision you make when visiting Mama's Too. All pies are courtesy of owner Frank Tuttolomondo. Made the way he likes to eat pizza, the pizzas here toe the line at NYC- and Detroit-style. But regardless of how you want to label them, New Yorkers enjoy them all the same.   The vibe: The original shop in the UWS seems like a standard slice shop, one with few chairs, wooden counters for eating over and gold ceilings. Beyond the glass, you can also observe the kitchen operations, where staff roll out dough and adorn pies with a variety of creations. There is always a chance for a bit of line, but more often than not, you can be on your way in 20 minutes or less.   The food: The first decision you'll have to make is triangle or square. The triangle slices share commonalities with the New York style—it has a good charred bottom, crispy crust and folds the way it should. The square slice isn't quite Detroit either, though it does share the same shape and wonderfully caramelized exterior. No matter what configuration you choose, just know it is going to be a good one. One of their most famous slices (and for good reason) is...

Beyond the iconic, show-stopping displays—the grizzly bear in the Hall of North American Mammals, the 94-feet long blue whale, the prehistoric Barosaurus skeleton rearing up as if to scare the adjacent Allosaurus skeleton—is an expertly curated, 150-year-old museum that fills visitors of all ages with a curiosity about the universe. Whether you’re interested in the world below our feet or the cultures of faraway lands or the stars light-years beyond our reach, your visit is bound to teach you a few things you never knew. With four floors filled to the brim with artifacts, you could spend a whole day just looking at the taxidermied animals that hail from North America, Asia, Africa, rain forests and the ocean. Or, conversely, spend a day like an anthropologist and study indigenous Americans, Asian cultures, African peoples, Pacific tribes, and, before these rich cultures existed, the evolutionary origins of humans and our near (now extinct) cousins, like neanderthals. Also don't miss the new wing called the Gilder Center, which houses a butterfly vivarium, an insectarium and a 360-degree immersive experience, in an architectural masterpiece.
