These are New York’s best restaurants, according to the New York Times

How do you measure a year? Scrolling through my gallery of nearly 5,000 photos, the most common theme among my shots of family, travel and various images of my dog sleeping, is food …  so much food. So naturally, my excitement was piqued when one of the largest publications dropped its annual list of the best new restaurants in NYC.  

RECOMMENDED: NYC's 10 best new restaurants of 2024

Yesterday, the New York Times published its list, “New York’s 14 Best New Restaurants of 2024.” This year marked a turning point as the incognito Pete Wells stepped down from his title of restaurant critic after a decade plus of eating and drinking his way around the boroughs. In his stead, Melissa Clark and Priya Krishna stepped in, sharing the roles and responsibilities as interim critics. Using their collective tastebuds, the three rounded up the year’s best restaurants. Many of them overlap with our very own list, including Carnitas Ramírez for its whole animal cookery, Penny's simplistic but sensational seafood and Bungalow's boundary pushing cuisine.

Coming in at 14 restaurants long, some of the came attached with a coveted star rating, while some have yet to have been reviewed. Check out the full list of eateries below:
