Survey
City Hall (lunch and dinner)
Black-and-white marble floors and cavernous dining rooms mark one of Tribeca’s grandest interiors at this opulent American steakhouse. Although you could go blind scanning for a bottle under $50 on the extensive wine list.
Del Posto (lunch)
With four-star ambitions and prices to match, Mario Batali’s Del Posto set the bar awfully high when it opened in 2005, but this restaurant has become nothing less than the city’s top destination for refined, upscale Italian cuisine.
Gramercy Tavern (lunch)
The handoff from founding chef Tom Colicchio to Michael Anthony (Blue Hill at Stone Barns) carried the rarity of a papal succession, yet the farmhouse-style setting, with its decorative brambles, pinecones and intoxicating smell from the wood-burning oven, is still here.
Payard Patisserie & Bistro (lunch and dinner)
Take Mom to this an elegant mahogany-paneled dining room with face-lift–friendly lighting and glittering belle epoque mirrors for contemporary and traditional dishes.
Estiatorio Milos (lunch)
You’ll find an impressive collection of fish packed into the ice bar at this stylish Hellenic haunt. The preparation is classic Greek.
