NEW YORK: An Insider's Guide
By Tejal Rao and Antoinette Bruno
A list is in circulation. It
comes from the StarChefs’ office in New
York.
"I'm coming to New York
for the weekend!" industry friends write
in, "where should I go?" So began
the list of our editorial team's favorite hole-in-the-wall
noodle joints, comfy neighborhood brasseries,
and ultra-chic fine dining rooms. This September,
we celebrate our 2006 New York Rising Stars
and the future of New York’s culinary
scene. At the same time, our first International
Chefs Congress brings the world’s most
influential and innovative chefs from Paris,
London, Barcelona, Mexico City and beyond, to
present the latest techniques and culinary concepts
to their chef peers here in New York. It seemed
like the perfect time to get the list in shape
for company.
Easier said than done.
How to categorize the huge
scope of our favorite New York restaurants?
The lines that used to clearly divide savory
chef from pastry chef and classic cooking from
progressive cooking are decidedly blurry. And
in New York it's more complicated than ever
to group restaurants strictly by cuisine. New
York chefs explore, experiment, and systematically
break down the simple genres we use to classify
them. Even those reliably Classic French establishments,
once caught in a culinary time warp, have younger
teams sneaking unusual techniques and flavor
combinations into daring dishes.
Categorizing chefs by cuisine
alone can conflict with the process of reinvention
and evolution that epitomizes the vibrant New
York food scene. So we decided to set up our
insider's guide to the culinary universe of
Manhattan by neighborhood. The second menu is
designed to help you choose the restaurant best
suited for your budget and your mood—because
New Yorkers know "chic" means one
thing uptown, and another thing entirely downtown...But
regardless of whether you choose the luxurious
white tablecloths and champagne trolleys uptown,
or the more low-key, unfussy, fine dining that
defines downtown, you’re sure to find
a fantastic meal at our favorite dives and splurges.
The secret’s out! Be sure to read the
»Chefs Recommend« list to see where
our New York Rising Stars eat on their night
off.
