Trendy Restaurants<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking for an impressive place to get a table when you didn\u2019t plan a month in advance, here are some great options.<\/p>\n

There are only a few different ways to get into a trendy NYC restaurant.<\/h5>\n

You can stay up all night waiting for a reservation, you can open your own place and hope it gets cool, or you can show up to one of them, put your name in, then slowly adjust to your new life in walk-in purgatory. And if none of those strategies sound appealing, here\u2019s a fourth: go to a place on this list.<\/p>\n

These restaurants are all trendy in the sense that they have great food and a fun atmosphere, and the majority of them are somewhat new. They\u2019re perfect for dates you forgot to plan or dinners with any friends you want to impress, and they all seem like they\u2019re very hard to get into. But they aren\u2019t. And that\u2019s exactly why they\u2019re on this guide.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

the spots<\/span><\/h5>\n

Charlie Bird\u2019s wine program features world-famous producers and glasses that cost as much as Spirit flights to Orlando. And yet, they pull off blasting loud hip hop in a casual Soho space with yellow booths and prints of boomboxes on the walls. Tables aren\u2019t nearly as difficult to get here as they are at places serving similarly excellent salads and pastas, like L\u2019Artusi or Via Carota, and you can usually get an outdoor table during lunch without a reservation.<\/p>\n


Golden Diner<\/span><\/h5>\n

When you think of a diner, what likely comes to mind is some place that\u2019s been serving the same pancakes and tuna melts since servers rolled up to tables on roller-skates while chewing bubblegum. Golden Diner is not like those places. Nearly everything on the menu at this all-day spot in Two Bridges includes Korean, Japanese, Thai, or Chinese influences, so the breakfast sandwich is served on a scallion milk bun and the club sandwich is packed with chicken katsu cutlets and purple cabbage slaw. Unlike other diners, this place takes reservations, and unlike other diners, you\u2019ll need one on a weekend.<\/p>\n


Holy Ground<\/span><\/h5>\n

The next time you want a meat-heavy dinner in a cool-space, but didn\u2019t plan far enough in advance to get a table at 4 Charles or Minetta Tavern, go to Holy Ground. It\u2019s an underground spot in Tribeca where you could imagine Duke Ellington sitting in a red leather booth having an old-fashioned and porterhouse. This place isn\u2019t a traditional steakhouse though – the Old Fashioneds are made with mezcal and tequila, and the menu focuses on slow-smoked meats like pork shoulder and wagyu brisket.<\/p>\n


Atla<\/span><\/h5>\n

Atla is an all-day Mexican restaurant in Noho where you can eat lobster tostadas and the best chicken soup of your life. During the day, it has a cafeteria-at-a-cool-tech-company kind of feel, and the food, which is from the people behind Cosme, is better than anything else you can get at 3pm wearing gym clothes. It\u2019s an equally great option for a nice dinner with a date, and at least then if you\u2019re sitting next to startup founders discussing things like brand strategy and scalability, you can drown them out with some phenomenal margaritas.<\/p>\n


Wayan<\/span><\/h5>\n

Wayan shares some DNA with Meatpacking club-restaurants. The dark space could be in a beachfront resort in Bali, servers wear custom t-shirts you\u2019d find at a Diesel outlet, and the menu includes a \u201cchiquita daiquiri\u201d and $14 chicken satay. But this Indonesian spot from Jean-Georges Vongerichten\u2019s son isn\u2019t a place to impress investment banking associates in 1999. It\u2019s a Nolita restaurant where you should go for a casual date, and share spicy, perfectly charred octopus and grilled clams topped with coconut flakes. Just know that the entrees aren\u2019t as good as the small plates, so this place is best for drinks and appetizers in the casual bar area.<\/p>\n


Maison Yaki<\/span><\/h5>\n

If your favorite dog breed is the English Mastiff, or you support sodas as big as kiddy pools, then you might not enjoy Maison Yaki. But if you can get past the fact that everything here, from duck a l\u2019orange to vesper martinis, is miniature, then you should absolutely come to this French-influenced yakitori spot in Prospect Heights. Because even though the duck a l\u2019orange is only four bites, it has as much flavor as an entire bird, and like everything on the menu, it\u2019s less than $10.<\/p>\n


Di An Di<\/span><\/h5>\n

Based on how excellent the Vietnamese food is and the fact that the plant-filled, pastel space could easily be used to sell high-end skincare or bikinis, Di An Di is easier to get into than it should be. We don\u2019t know why and we won\u2019t complain. What we will do, though, is continue to eat things like fried daikon rice cake omelettes and bowls of beef pho here (and we\u2019d encourage you to do the same). Next time you need a semi last-minute place to impress your mom or the person you\u2019re legally and\/or emotionally married to, book a reservation the day before and expect to have a really good night here.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Banty Rooster<\/span><\/h5>\n

The Banty Rooster is in the West Village next to the constantly-packed Rosemary\u2019s. Use it for after-work drinks and snacks at the bar, but know that it\u2019s also upscale enough for nice dates or dinner with parents. The American menu isn\u2019t particularly adventurous, and yet you\u2019re going to get sauces and preparations that\u2019ll change your perception of grilled octopus and roast chicken. In other words, it seems like this place should be packed every night. Take advantage of the fact that it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

Best Instagrammable Restaurants in New York City for the Most Likable Dishes and Drinks<\/h2>\n

When it comes to the city that never sleeps New York City there are endless #foodporn pics to take everywhere you turn.<\/p>\n

From street meat carts to Michelin 3-star restaurants, there\u2019s obviously no shortage of dishes to Insta, but knowing where to go and what to snap is half the battle.<\/p>\n

There are dim sum gems, ramen havens, instantly recognizable burgers (and burger joints), pizza<\/strong> parlors so famous they\u2019re now taking over airports, macaroni mainstays and yes, even rainbow bagels and slushies served in floating unicorns.<\/p>\n

In a world full of like-obsessed eaters, it\u2019s shoot first, eat next and this list of the best restaurants in New York City<\/strong><\/span> will show you exactly where to dine for a highly Instagrammable meal.<\/p>\n

Portale\u2019s Lumache with Bolognese Bianco<\/span><\/h5>\n

You can literally die happy after one bite of Portale\u2018s Lumache with Bolognese Bianco, black truffle and Parmigiano. Not that you would want to\u2014because you\u2019ll be so hooked you may need to make this a weekly reservation. All of the house-made pastas are pretty extraordinary (like the Cavatelli Arrabbiata with cilantro pesto and Agnolotti with ricotta, pancetta, chanterelle, spring onions), but really it\u2019s all about the lumache. And the ambiance. And the outstanding wine list. And the pure NYC magic that happens inside these walls.<\/p>\n\n\n
