The best restaurants in NYC



New York city is surely one of the most visited places in the world but there are still many travelers wondering where should they have dinner while they are on the city. Personally, I believe that NYC has some of the most luxurious restaurants in the whole world as you may discover by reading the msnbc.com article just below:

Many visitors to the Big Apple seldom stray from the city’s Midtown district or (or if they do, it’s not principally to eat). That’s not to knock its myriad attractions, famous restaurants among them, but there’s more to the Big Apple’s dining scene than the tried, true and traditional. The culinary dividends of venturing south of Times Square and even—gasp!—to its outer boroughs can be high indeed, if you know where to look.

In a city which has 18,500 restaurants (according to NYC & Company), there’s no excuse for not expanding your dining horizons. But the real secret to a memorable experience is to follow the buzz instead of the herd. In other words, shun the over-the-top, Las Vegas-sized restaurants (with the exception of the surprisingly sophisticated Buddakan) in favor of smaller but more interesting digs, whether that means up on Tenth Avenue or down in the far West Village

The food is Alpine hearty and the mood is New York light at Trestle on Tenth, where chef-owner Ralf Kuettel brings his Swiss-influenced American cuisine to an appreciative, insider Chelsea crowd.

There’s nothing like crispy duck necks with garlic and anchovy aioli or calves’ liver with rösti (Swiss hash browns), sage and caramelized onions to warm even the frostiest winter night. The butter lettuce with crispy bacon and buttermilk dressing appetizer is delicious, as is the thick and frothy Swiss hot chocolate served with a side of large, homemade marshmallows.
