Restaurants In Midtown
our suggestions
-
Yakitori Totto
251 W. 55th St. 2nd Floor, Midtown, NYFirst things first – if you are walking into a restaurant on the ground floor, you are NOT walking into Yakitori Totto. Yakitori Totto is on the second floor. We nearly made that mistake, but the guy in the street level Japanese restaurant looked so surprised to see customers, we figured something was up. Head [...]

PizzArte
69 W. 55th St., Midtown, NYWhere does one go for good pizza in Midtown? Nowhere, really. Maybe Bella Napoli (see Lunch In Midtown) for a slice, but it’s otherwise been slim pickins until now. Thankfully, PizzArte has brought the Neapolitan pie craze to Midtown. Much like the recently opened Forcella, the specialty pizza here at PizzArte is the flash-fried montanara [...]

Bar Americain
152 W 52nd St., Midtown, NYBobby Flay’s huge, big money restaurant that feels more like Las Vegas than Midtown. The food is incredible, but a layaway plan to pay for it would be helpful.

Tenpenny
16 East 46th Street, Midtown, NYRestaurants in Midtown are a mess. They’re generally made up of overpriced garbage that appeal directly to the easy to please Suits, and fancy 4-star eaters. It’s rare that we find an unheralded gem around these parts, but that’s exactly what we discovered in Tenpenny. You can’t see it from the street, but hidden inside [...]

The Modern
9 W. 53rd St., Midtown, NYThe best way for us to give you the lowdown on this place is to explain that it’s really two different experiences: the bar, and the dining room. One is a three course, prixe fixe fine dining experience, the other sleek, more relaxed, often features some Action at the Bar. If you’re going, go big and eat in the dining room.

Quality Meats
57 W. 58th Street, Midtown, NYEven though it’s in Midtown, this multi-level meat market serves up one of our favorite steaks in town, and it’s not what you might expect from a steakhouse in the area.

Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill
308 W. 58th St., Columbus Circle, NYBlue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill is kind of a ridiculous concept on paper – a Frankenstein fusion of Blue Ribbon Brasserie and Blue Ribbon Sushi in a Thompson Hotel lobby. We’re huge fans of the Blue Ribbon brand, especially the brasserie and sushi outposts. We’re not huge fans of Midtown, especially Midtown hotel restaurants. [...]

Totto Ramen
366 W. 52nd St., Hell's Kitchen, NYSomewhere in between the porky excessiveness of Ippudo and the basic, hangover curing magic of Rai Rai Ken lies a bowl of Totto Ramen. This Japanese noodle outpost opened back in June, and we’re not sure that there has ever been a more welcomed addition to the Midtown food scene. After a few weeks of [...]

Sake Bar Hagi
152 W. 49th St., Midtown, NYThere’s an episode of No Reservations, back in season two when Bourdain was still fresh and full of cigarettes, that will forever stick with us. It’s 45-minute video glorification of the city of Osaka, a place that is apparently loaded with incredible food, smoky baseball bars, and people that eat and drink just like we [...]

Ai Fiori
400 5th Avenue, Midtown, NYAvid Infatuation readers know by now that we love ourselves some Michael White. For us, it doesn’t get much better than a meal that involves a heavy dose of the big man’s pasta. Marea is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Manhattan, and we also gave high marks to his downtown meatopia, Osteria Morini. [...]
