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...

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.

The newest hotspot from the team behind The Corner Store opened last month in NYC and has quickly become one of the hardest reservations in town. Or'esh (Or meaning light and Esh meaning fire in Hebrew) is an elevated Mediterranean restaurant in Soho that features live-fire cooking over coal and serves up some exceptional takes on seafood, meat and seasonal veggies. It’s hyped, but for a very good reason. The vibe: Simply put, this place is sexy. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s so hard to get in, or maybe it’s the beautifully backlit bar, the well-dressed crowd, the impeccably decorated dining room or just an unspoken energy—but Or'esh has that special something. It’s elevated but not stuffy, which is a tough balance to strike. Once settled in, you’re going to want to stay a while. The food: The menu has a little something for everyone—from the freshest raw fish to indulgent starters, perfectly grilled meats and creative takes on veggies. Personal favorites included the Jerusalem bagel with dips (babaganoush, matbucha, mint tzatziki, olive oil and za’atar), crispy potato pastel with golden Ossetra caviar and the Spanish octopus. For mains, don’t skip the 18-layer wagyu New York strip, and you can’t go wrong with any grilled fish on the menu. We were dying to try the snapper two ways, but someone snagged the last one, so sadly, we’ll have to save that for our next visit—but if you can get your hands on one, do it. The drinks: Similar to the rest of the menu, Or'esh...
