Carmine's Upper West Side

Lupa Osteria Romana opened its doors on October 1, 1999 under the partnership of Jason Denton, Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich, and Mark Ladner. The idea behind the four men was to open a casual restaurant specializing in Roman trattoria fare of the highest quality at a moderate price. The restaurant has met its promise, offering a unique dining experience with a true "Lupa" dimension. <br> Under the direction of Mark Ladner, executive chef, the menu at Lupa has received rave reviews from many prominent critics, magazines and newspapers. This is the result of Lupa's uniqueness that other restaurants in New York are not able to match. In 2005, Steve Connaughton took over the helm as executive chef after four years as Mark Ladner's sous chef.

Sink into a booth at this Greenwich Village steakhouse where fat-marbled cuts arrive sizzling and the whole room glows with that warm, old-money speakeasy vibe from the Jazz Age. Winter transforms the dining room into a cozy refuge—the kind of place where you can shake off the cold and settle in for serious beef without the fancy-restaurant pretension or the fancy-restaurant prices. The crew moves through the room with genuine ease, making sure nobody's glass sits empty or their plate anything less than generous. You'll find it tucked on the corner of Park Avenue South and 19th Street, right in the heart of the Flatiron neighborhood where the architecture matches the timeless feel inside.

Walking through the door feels like stepping into warmth itself—especially welcome on those crisp winter evenings. The kitchen turns out traditional Ethiopian fare that brings the flavors and communal spirit of the Horn of Africa right to your table. Injera bread serves as the foundation for every meal, cradling aromatic stews and tender proteins. The whole experience invites you to eat with your hands and share dishes family-style, making it perfect for groups looking to linger over a meal when the weather outside keeps people huddled indoors.

Tucked behind the iconic New York Public Library, this New American grill captures the energy of one of Manhattan's most beloved public spaces.

Winter transforms the experience into something particularly special: the heated tent wraps around the park with festive décor, creating an intimate escape from the cold while you can still watch the season unfold just beyond the glass. When warmer months arrive, the rooftop and patio open up to let you dine under the sky. If you're craving something lighter or more laid-back, the adjacent café offers a more relaxed vibe, complete with its own bar for casual bites and drinks.

This sprawling 5,000 square foot gathering spot in Park Slope brings together dining, drinks, and live performances under one roof, with enough nooks and activities to keep you occupied for hours.

If you're in the mood for bocce, there are two indoor courts ready to go, and when warmer months arrive, the outdoor garden becomes an extension of the scene. The whole vibe walks that particular line between polished and approachable that somehow feels uniquely Brooklyn.
