At the end of summer every year, the tennis world’s eyes turn to NYC, home to the U.S. Open, which is one of four major annual tennis tournaments. You might be hankering to get courtside to see the matches live, but find yourself having to settle for the next best thing—watching topspins and backhands while sipping something cold from the comfort of the city’s best neighborhood sports bars.

The one thing you’ll catch New Yorkers being humble about–self-deprecating, even–is our Mexican food. We’ll demure to west coasters before muttering under our breath about NYC’s pizza, bagels and the inimitable tap water that’s said to make  this city’s food so great. But our very own Mexican culinary landscape has gone from good to great and then some over the years, and we, too, have plenty to boast about. Here’s where to find the very best right now.

Unlike reuben sandwiches, Baked Alaskas and eggs Benedict, the lobster roll is not actually native to New York. (It’s a delicious export from our tri-state neighbor, Connecticut.) But just because we didn’t invent it doesn’t mean we haven’t perfected it. Years after Rebecca Charles pushed the first Manhattan lobster roll across the marble counter at (the sadly now-closed) Pearl Oyster Bar, the sandwich has become a local staple, a crustacean-filled highlight among the best things to do in the summer in New York. From no-frills sandwich shops to the city’s best seafood restaurants, these are the best lobster rolls in NYC.

Believe it or not, there are many other fun things to do in Soho that aren’t simply emptying your bank account at our favorite places to go shopping in New York. From its hip art galleries to the incredible New York restaurants that line the loft-filled streets, check out our top recommendations for things to do in Soho, NYC right now. (And no these activities don’t include being interviewed by strangers for TikTok–though that may very likely happen too). RECOMMENDED: The complete guide to Soho, New York

What’s more New York than sitting on a curb to chow down on street meat with white sauce or a soft serve cone with rainbow sprinkles? From iconic hot dogs to carry-out slices of pizza—and, of course, ice cream for dessert—the food trucks, food halls and night markets of NYC are serving up some of the best food in the five boroughs. Stop by a famous dosa truck in Washington Square Park, head to the Bronx for your taco fix or taste Nigerian dundun from an award-winning chef. While some of these stalls and trucks are in one spot, others are always on the move, so head to their Instagram accounts to see their daily menu and find where they’re posted up.

For a city that pulsates with as much on-the-go energy as New York, it only makes sense that food trucks have started to rival Gotham’s best brick-and-mortar restaurants. Once limited to slinging simple fare like burgers and hot dogs, the mobile food renaissance of the past few years has yielded a population of trucks and carts serving up pristine seafood, fresh-fried falafel, and a plethora of other mouthwatering bites (many of their moderately priced plates are also our favorite cheap eats). Whether they still roam the streets or have found the perfect home to park for good, these are the best food trucks in NYC. RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the best street food in New York

Liberty’s owner, Victor Mejia, has been in the bagel business for over 30 years, and he brought that deep well of experience with him when he co-founded LIberty Bagels in 2018, quickly expanding to four bustling locations in NYC. We talked with Victor and the shop’s social media manager, Maria-Isabelle Parada, about the legacy of Liberty and why they think there’s perhaps no better pairing with an ice-cold Coke than a freshly baked, loaded up bagel. What can you tell me about the Liberty Bagels origin story?Victor: I've been in the bagel business since 1992. I've opened several stores—Bagel House, Brooklyn Bagels. Initially, I would sell them, so I would open a store, and keep it for a couple years, and then sell it. But, for the last six years, my partner Alex and I have built a brand, Liberty Bagels. We stuck with the same recipe, the same concept. We have had the sa

For as many gut-busting meals that New York has to offer, the fair city also boasts plenty of virtuous dishes and drinks at its best vegan and vegetarian restaurants, wellness-minded coffee shops, and these top-notch juice bars. Combine fresh-pressed juices with some great outdoor yoga classes to get ready for beach season, or simply give you an invigorating alternative to your usual morning coffee routine.

Every single creation at Alimama is a spectacle: a gorgeous symphony of color, design and taste that makes as much for a gorgeous photo as it does a delicious experience. The highlights here are the gluten-free mochi donuts, which are infused with flavors like salted caramel Nutella and matcha toasted rice crispies.

Step away from the chaos of SoHo’s bustling streets and into Odd Sister, a cafe that is at once cool and sophisticated and cozy and casual. Brunch, which is available every day of the week here, includes decadent takes on a breakfast sandwich made with everything bagel-seasoned focaccia, Manchego and thick cut bacon, a French omelet with tomato, caramelized onions and Gruyère, and pancakes topped with brûlée bananas, candied nuts, caramel and vanilla cream.

This new kid on the Upper West Side block is the first NYC outpost of a beloved Connecticut brand known for its outstanding takes on its namesake menu item. But don’t stop at the granola (of which there are three distinct flavors), as the homey and hearty savory dishes are out of this world, too. Go for The Heisenberg or the huevos rancheros for an especially tasty and filling meal.

It’s a family affair at this tiny shop with a big heart in Bed Stuy, where the couple at the helm are supported by various relatives in keeping their “contemporary food for the soul” endeavor alive. While they’re perhaps best known for the duck leg confit mac n cheese bowl that first put them on the map, if you find yourself there on the weekend, try one of their brunch-only menu items, like cornbread French toast or biscuits and chicken sausage gravy.
