New York City Food Guide
During my numerous trips to New York City as a tour guide, I was able to experience the food scene in depth. My New York meal often started with a breakfast buffet at the hotel - a good start for the long walks through the city. At lunch, however, time was short, so I often grabbed a quick snack from a food truck or a pizza "to go". However, when I had the opportunity, I liked to take the time for a long lunch in a nice restaurant in New York City with a view. In the evening, a visit to the theater on Broadway was often planned. Then the pre-theater dinners in the nearby restaurants were perfect because they offered us delicious menus and were also affordable. This way I experienced New York's diversity in a culinary way, even with limited time.

New York Restaurants Tips for Steakhouses
For all foodies and pleasure travelers, we have put together the best New York restaurant tips for steak lovers here.
Gallagher's Steakhouse
New Yorkers love to eat steaks. You can find them in all parts of Manhattan. On my trips to New York, a visit to Gallagher's Steakhouse An absolute must. Nowhere are steaks as perfect as there. The first steakhouse on Broadway was Gallagher's (228 W 52nd St). It was founded by Helen Gallagher, a former Ziegfeld Girl, and Jack Solomon in 1927. That was during the Prohibition era. Gallagher's supposedly featured the first New York strip steak. Gallagher's is also famous for its freezer with its glass windows. Behind these, restaurant guests can see the steaks "aging" there for consumption.
The porterhouse steak was a tradition. Many believe that this was also first served in New York. In 2013, the steakhouse changed owners. The owner renovated the restaurant... and put the porterhouse steak back on the menu when it reopened in 2014. The new owner carried out a comprehensive restoration that returned it to its original state as a "speakeasy" steakhouse from the 1940s and 50s. In addition to the classics such as steak and potatoes, Gallagher's now also offers modernized dishes such as tuna tartare and Italian influences such as burrata with roasted peppers and clams casino. Gallagher's is a good restaurant in New York City for "pre-theater dinners" on Broadway.
Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse
Another well-known steakhouse in Manhattan is Smith & Wollensky (Corner of 49th Street & 3rd Avenue). I first noticed it during my visits to New York because of the building it's located in. Only later did I actually visit it. Its founders, Alan Stillman and Ben Benson, chose it for its beautiful facade. Today, there are Smith & Wollensky Steakhouses in numerous cities across the USA. Many of them retain the familiar white and green facade of the original New York steakhouse. When Stillman sold the Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group, he retained the original New York location.
Further good New York steakhouses introduced by Grub Street (in English).

New York Restaurant Tip: Which famous restaurant in New York City is worth checking out?
There are some restaurants in New York City that are world famous. If you want to treat yourself to something special, then these are certainly a good choice. However, the food in these restaurants also has its price.
The Rainbow Room
On the 65th floor of one of New York's most famous skyscrapers (30 Rockefeller Center) you can Rainbow Room at Bar Sixtyfive Cocktails and enjoy a wonderful view of New York City. You can also order dishes from the bistro menu, which are quite affordable. A truly special experience is the Spring Brunch, served on Easter, Mother's Day, and Father's Day. For the hefty price of $162, you have a fantastic selection from the raw bar, breakfast dishes, the carving station, dim sum, and a fantastic selection of cakes, pies, and other pastries.
Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant
The day ticket is more expensive in the Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant (89 E 42nd St) on the lower level of New York's main train station, Grand Central Station. This sign advertises the fresh lobster, seafood, and oyster delicacies served there. You can also order seafood, oyster, and lobster sandwiches at the counter at cheaper prices. Dining at the Grand Central Oyster Bar is definitely an experience.
Delmonico's in the Financial District
The legendary steakhouse in New York, Delmonico's, reopened in 2023 after a three-year closure and extensive renovations. Following the pandemic-related closure in 2020 and a lengthy legal battle between the previous owners, restaurateurs Dennis Turcinovic and Joseph Licul gained control of the property and signed a new 15-year lease. The restaurant has now reopened to the public under their management.
The interior has been updated by WAVE Design Studios with a modern twist, but retains the historic charm. Chef Edward J. Hong brings a creative mix of new dishes and classics such as the famous Delmonico steak and Lobster Newberg to the menu. The focus remains on fine dining and a unique New York flair that is intended to appeal to both traditional guests and a new generation.

Nobu New York Downtown
What do Hollywood actor Robert De Niro, sushi chef Nobu Matsuhisa, producer Meir Teper, and restaurateur Drew Nieporent have in common? Quite simply: They love (or create) top-notch Japanese cuisine. Nobu trained as a sushi chef. Through his travels and stays abroad, he expanded his skills. In doing so, he created a new trend in Japanese cuisine, which he now celebrates in his numerous restaurants around the world. Nobu New York Downtown (195 Broadway) is the first restaurant from which he, along with De Niro, Meir Teper, and Drew Nieporent, created a global chain of restaurants and hotels. Dining there isn't necessarily an inexpensive pleasure, but it's certainly a special experience.
Momofuku Noodle Bar

Here you can enjoy the view of New York without eating
In New York eat with a view
It is a special pleasure in New York if you can enjoy a great view during the meal. There are a number of restaurants where this is possible. One we present here:
The River Café
Probably one of the most famous restaurants that offers a great view of New York is the River Cafe (One Water Street, Brooklyn) in Brooklyn. The restaurant is located beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. I enjoyed eating there because you can view the bridge and the New York skyline all the way to the Statue of Liberty while eating. The fact that The River Café is the proud owner of a Michelin star makes dining at this restaurant a special treat. Reservations are recommended: Tel. 718-522-5200

Lunch in Manhattan - it has to be quick
Since steakhouses and fine-dining restaurants aren't the cheapest options for eating in New York, New Yorkers have turned to other options instead. Fast food, street food and baking specialties that can be quickly eaten while walking have proven to be particularly suitable for everyday use. A real New Yorker is in a hurry. It was no different when I was in New York. Street food is simply part of it there. As a visitor, you will definitely notice how hectic life is in the Big Apple.
When you first come to New York, it's hard to keep up with New Yorkers. You can almost always recognize tourists by the fact that they move slower through the Big Apple's maze of streets than the locals. This fast-paced lifestyle is affecting the eating habits of residents – and ultimately visitors. The range of food has adapted to this lifestyle.
Lunch is often “on the go” for a New Yorker. It definitely has to be quick. The best way to do this is to get a hot dog, a sandwich, a wrap, a bagel, a muffin, Cookie or buy a cupcake to go. For eating, there are parks or other public places where you can eat your picnic lunch during a short break. Once you get used to the rhythm of life in New York, your picnic will taste better in the High Line Park, on the Hudson River boardwalk, or on a park bench in Battery Park or Central Park than in one of the shops where you buy it. Our tip: buy a packed lunch on your tour of Manhattan and take it with you for a break on the way.

Empire Diner: A classic with a new look
The Empire Diner, an icon in West Chelsea (210 10th Ave.), combines nostalgic charm with modern flair. Since its reopening, the restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere perfect for a relaxed breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Here, you can expect not only classic diner dishes but also innovative creations.
A look at the menu reveals a diverse selection of dishes. For example, start your day with avocado toast for $18 or the Empire pancakes for $17. For lunch or dinner, you can look forward to the popular Empire Burger for $25, served with cheddar, bacon and homemade fries. Vegetarians also get their money's worth: the Beyond Meat Burger for $26 is a delicious alternative.
For a special recommendation that fits in with our Trendy Restaurant New York picks, try the Truffle Mac & Cheese for $18. The combination of creamy sauce and delicate truffle flavor is a highlight on the menu.

Where to eat cheap in New York
Good New York Delis
Katz's Delicatessen
Pastrami at its best
New Yorker's favorite sandwich is the pastrami sandwich. Pastrami, is a meat made by smoking, curing and preserving in a delicious spicy breading. Mostly beef breast. Sounds not so tempting? OK. That's what happened to me when I got the invitation from a New Yorker. Located in New York's Lower East Side Katz's Delicatessen is certainly the place to get to know the best, juiciest and tenderest pastrami sandwich. More than five warm and still dripping slices and a dollop of yellow, coarse Mostrich lie between the slices of white bread. These are served with crisp cucumbers.
The ambience seems a bit cold. It's noisy. You feel transported to another time. The staff is more businesslike than overly friendly. That's just New York. I see framed photos on the walls. Tons. Well-known faces and celebrities from culture and politics. Oh yes. And then I know the shop from somewhere! Didn't Harry & Sally eat the pastrami sandwich here in the movie scene that is remembered by the whole world? Yes. It was here.
You can not miss the Deli, still run since 1888, on E Houston St at the corner of Clinton St. The dominating red neon sign already screams from the distance and vies for attention.
If you are traveling without a car, the closest metro station, 2 Avenue Station, is about 300 meters walk from the destination.

Discover good food on a New York Food Tour
Nolita Food Tour
An absolute must as a food crazed traveler in New York is to visit Little Italy. There is a problem there however - the restaurants and delicatessen are mostly designed for tourist requirements. But if you go only a few hundred meters outside of this epicenter, you will get to know a completely new food scene.
I took a food tour through North of Little Italy (Nolita for short) and discovered the real, authentic New York. Things tick differently here—more relaxed and less touristy. That doesn't detract from the delicacies, which are almost always better than in its big sister, Little Italy. The legendary movie "The Godfather" was largely filmed here. It's based on a true story, by the way! Nolita was the center of the Italian mafia and part of Little Italy at the time. The neighborhood was renamed in the 90s, but it hasn't changed much since.
Where to eat in Nolita
A must in Nolita is the pizza at Emporio Ristorante, preferably the white pizza without tomato sauce. Next, treat yourself to a Brooklyn Blackout Cupcake (named after the major power outage), which is so famous that it's been dubbed the best in the USA by various food critics. If you're still hungry, you must make a detour to the Tartinery. Here, they serve fresh sourdough bread with various toppings (I tried the pistachio chicken). The crowning glory is the homemade salted caramel gelato from Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria!

Enjoy the views from Roof Top Bars
Of course, a nice drink is the perfect way to end an exciting day in a city. And especially in Manhattan, it is worthwhile to visit one of the countless Roof Top Bars. Only which ones? And how to decide?
A Roof Top Bar Tour visits three different rooftops with an international group. Ideal for exchanging tips with other travelers in addition to the great views of Manhattan at night. We meet near the Times Square in a café and is greeted there by the friendly “tour guides”.
It's a bit strange at first to have to take a bus to cover the few blocks, but this way the group stays together and the girls, in their sometimes adventurously high heels, keep their spirits up.
We visited three rooftop bars in the area between Times Square and the Empire State Building. Each bar includes a drink, and you spend about an hour listening to lounge music and enjoying the view before moving on to the next stop. At the last bar, the guides say goodbye, and you can relax and unwind with the other participants or continue the party.
The style of the bars ranged from modern glass-fronted to hipster-style bronze-clad, so there was something for everyone. Good restaurants in Times Square we also present here.

One of the rooftop bars introduces Ulli Jeute:

Manhattan skyline at night
The view of the Manhattan skyline is something truly special, even during the day. Anyone who's ever walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and turned 90 degrees knows what I'm talking about.
In 2017 I was alone in NYC and Brooklyn for a few days and wanted to enjoy this view. In the middle of the party mile, almost directly on the banks of the East River, the wonderfully stylish ambience of the Whyte Hotel and its rooftop "The Ides Bar" is hidden behind red brick tiles.
The outdoor area is spacious. Small seating areas and high tables offer plenty of space to make yourself comfortable. For me, it's the perfect place to have a drink on a balmy summer night while enjoying a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline.
Every now and then, you hear the horn of an evening cruise, which adds a touch of adventure and freedom to the whole experience. I was happy to dig a little deeper into my pockets for that.
Ulrike Jeute aka Little Bigvoyager stands for the travel blog for the whole family. In addition to many small and large trips with the family, also times for two or just alone. As in real life - the mix makes it.
