These pizza pies aren’t just delicious—they’re crafted with a passion for flavor and perfected with a scientific touch. Owner Atalay, a chemical engineer, has spent years perfecting every element—from the cheese’s melt factor to the sauce’s acidity—to bring you pizzas that are both mouthwatering and light. With each bite you'll taste the difference that using premium ingredients makes, from the freshest produce to authentic, flavorful cheeses. From classic Margheritas to bold gourmet creations, they're got a slice for every craving.

Adam Pomerantz, the cofounder of Murray’s Bagels, brought his traditional hand-rolled method to FiDi back in 2007. Ever since, Leo's—named for his uncle—has solidified itself as a go-to for residents and local corporate catering. The team makes their bagels the old-fashioned way: kettle boiled and baked in small batches. And they're baking them off throughout the day, so you're bound to catch at least one fresh variety whenever you walk in. The bagels are shiny on the outside with a perfectly sturdy crust, and when you rip one open and the steam pours out, you get hit with the fresh-baked bagel scent that few (if any) outside the tri-state area can replicate. That soft, pillowy, dense interior is just a little bit sweet, and the right amount of chewy—and the evidence of hand-rolling is right there in the way its interior refuses to evenly break apart. Anything you could possibly want on a bagel, you can find at Leo's. Choose your schmear and/or a salad (tuna, egg, chicken). Go for a chicken cutlet or cold cut sandwich. Maybe you want an omelet (get the L.E.O. with lox, eggs and onions), a baconeggandcheese, smoked fish or a B.L.T. You can't go wrong. There have been times when I couldn't decide and ended up going halfsies with myself by getting two different sandwiches (one time, I walked out with three). Leo's recently expanded its interior space to stretch to the corner of the building, leaving room for indoor window seating and more baked goods on display. Whatever you...

Printemps doesn't necessarily like to be associated with a department store, preferring to call its 55,000-square-foot Parisian footprint a "French luxury retailer" or simply a "French apartment" that so happens to be filled with Balmain and Cartier. Perhaps it's fitting that the main restaurant on the ground floor, Maison Passerelle, shirks the title of just another French restaurant, too, but this time rightfully so. That is due in part to the quiet genius that is Gregory Gourdet. Gourdet's pedigree is far-reaching—a Top Chef alum, cookbook author and a multiple-time James Beard Award winner. His range in the kitchen is just as broad, starting with fine French food under Jean-Georges Vongerichten before spending 10 years exploring pan-Asian cuisine at Portland's Departure (including a two-year layover in Denver). But in recent years, the chef tapped into his own well, sharing Haitian recipes such as griyo (twice-baked pork) and jerked cauliflower at Portland's Kann to critical acclaim. But when it came to the anchoring restaurant at Printemps—Gourdet oversees all five concepts inside the luxury retailer—it was clear that French food had to be the throughline; that tie was necessary. But he's done it the Gourdet way as Maison Passerelle explores the traces left behind from France's colonial past, visiting West Africa, Vietnam and Laos, with Haiti carrying the strongest influence.   The vibe: Printemps' lead designer, Parisian designer Laura Gonzalez, also designed Maison...

Right across the East River in the heart of Williamsburg, with unobstructed waterside views of the Manhattan skyline, the stretch of Wythe Avenue between North 9th and 12th Streets has become a kind of hub of hip Brooklyn hotels: There’s the William Vale, a luxury property capped off with its stylish Westlight rooftop; the Hoxton, with its former-factory origins giving off industrial cool; and, finally, the Arlo Williamsburg, a trendy lodging known for its colorful pool deck and eclectic spirit. The latter took over the former Williamsburg Hotel space back in 2023 and in the years since has grown into a reliably stylish and lively option in a neighborhood buzzing with them. Walking through that red-brick facade, passing beneath that marquee lighting, guests will find a cool and comfortable stay that balances an inviting warmth with the youthful energy of the buzzy area. What are the rooms like at the Arlo Williamsburg? Okay, we won’t lie to you: The guest rooms—of which there are 147 across eight stories—are quite small, a byproduct of the nabe’s tall-not-sprawl nature. (The smallest option, the City View Queen, maxes out at 220 square feet.) But the Arlo makes the most of that diminutive size, with floor-to-ceiling windows, private Juliette balconies, marble-and-brass bathrooms (some even equipped with freestanding, deep-soaking tubs) and large, plush beds with crisp, high-quality bedding and tufted leather headboards. Robe and slipper lovers will sadly be without those...

This is a boutique hotel in every sense of the phrase; every detail has been poured over, from the silky, pleated walls in the corridor to the hidden Portrait Bar, just for hotel guests.  It’s full of surprises; you could round a corner to find a floral, velvet sofa and a well-stocked bookcase as a reading nook, or discover a colorful parlor filled with palms and garden furniture, available for private hire. It’s a bit like a cabinet of curiosities, but on a much larger scale—here’s my brand-new review of The Fifth Avenue Hotel.  Why should I stay at The Fifth Avenue Hotel? First up, because it’s absolutely gorgeous. Its home is found within a 19th-century mansion and Swedish-born star designer Martin Brudnizki created the design scheme, which is inspired by owner Alex Ohebshalom’s travels as well as romanticized figures of French history, like the poet Baudelaire. The vibe is all richly toned colors, exquisite materials, and romantic details, so you’ll want to get your camera out. It also genuinely feels five-star—there are special touches like tablets in rooms that control all elements of lighting, heat, sound, and television, as well as a 24/7 butler service. What are the rooms like at The Fifth Avenue Hotel? There’s a mixture of rooms (queens, kings, and corners), suites (studio, one-bedroom, terrace), and signature suites such as the penthouse, which are beautifully designed, offering features such as smart TVs, designer bath products, and even luxury car service. You...

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.

With its hulking concrete frame towering over NYC’s elevated park, The Standard, High Line is one hell of a building. And though it’s one I’ve walked past frequently, it wasn’t until my recent stay that I passed through the canary yellow revolving doors and could truly appreciate this iconic hotel.  Why stay at The Standard, High Line?  If you’re looking for sweeping city vistas, this hotel more than delivers. Every single one of its 338 rooms features a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Manhattan or the mighty Hudson River—sometimes both, as I was lucky enough to discover in my Studio Suite.  Nestled in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, steps away from Little Island, Chelsea Market and (of course) the High Line itself, this is a cool alternative to the saturated hotels of Midtown if you’re in New York for the first time. The Hotel debuted way back in 2009, and other than a couple of dings in the room’s furniture, it still feels pretty fresh.  What are the rooms like at The Standard, High Line?  The hotel offers a wide variety of room types, and whether you need a room with two double beds, a standard queen room, a deluxe king or a suite, there are plenty of options. However, no matter which you choose, you’ll be treated to floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows with sweeping city views.  Expect comfortable beds with Italian sheets, fluffy down pillows and cozy, moody lighting. Wood paneling around the bed area makes for an elevated and warm design...

According to our contributor Christina Izzo, the Financial District's The Wall Street Hotel "glamorously honors the New York neighborhood around it while feeling like a transportive respite," with staterooms awash in soft blues and seafoam greens, plus fireplaces and soaking tubs. The modern French brasserie on the ground floor completes the escape. Helmed by John Fraser, the all-day restaurant is as stunning as it is delicious, with an excellent raw bar and king crab pastas that draw everyone from the buttoned-up after-work crowd to date-night diners. The vibe: Soho House's former global design lead, Vicky Charles, set the mood at La Marchande, and her touch is evident throughout. Turquoise window wells and golden palm frond sconces frame the bar, while oysters, mussels and clams are displayed behind a striking mother-of-pearl raw bar. The dining room is wrapped in rattan wallpaper depicting a lush landscape of birds and trees, creating an atmosphere that's both glamorous and inviting. The food: Modern takes on French cuisine begin at the raw bar, where oysters are dressed in tomato-verjus mignonette and clams are topped with a fiery mix of Scotch bonnet, culantro and lime. French onion soup is reimagined as delicate dumplings filled with Comté cheese, floating in an impossibly rich mushroom consommé you'll want to savor to the last drop. It is French food, after all, so butter is a generous companion, folded into silky Jonah crab tagliatelle with breadcrumbs and...
