New York’s 14 Best New Restaurants of 2024
The New York Times
Our three critics name the places, from classic French dining to a buzzing shawarma stall, that dazzled them the most this year.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Three critics walk into a restaurant …
I know. The chef didn’t think it was funny, either.
But it took three of us to stay on top of New York City’s dining scene in 2024. Since August, when I bowed out as restaurant critic to spend some quality time with my blood-pressure cuff, Melissa Clark and Priya Krishna have been serving as interim critics. Each of us had a hand in this roundup of the year’s best restaurants.
Most of these places have been reviewed by one of us, although there are a few that nobody has gotten around to just yet. All have opened since last fall, except for one that’s been frying chicken wings and whole snappers on Staten Island since 2021. I’ll take the blame for being so slow to get to Shaw-naé’s House, but I wouldn’t have missed it for anything.
I imagine Melissa and Priya feel the same way about the choices, listed here in alphabetical order, along with the star ratings we assigned in our reviews. They run the gamut of prices and sizes and seating arrangements. One has freshly ironed table linens. Another has upturned paint buckets on the floor. We’ll tell you all about it. Just pull up a chair or three. PETE WELLS
