Ninja New York

Tucked behind the iconic New York Public Library, this New American grill captures the energy of one of Manhattan's most beloved public spaces. The dining room exudes polish and refinement—perfect whether you're closing a deal over lunch or celebrating with friends after work. 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.

Founded in 1944 by Pasquale "Patsy" Scognamillo, Patsy's Italian Restaurant has been in its current and only theater district location (in the building just next to the original site) since 1954. In over 55 years of existence, Patsy's Italian Restaurant has had only three chefs--the late Patsy himself, his son Joe Scognamillo, who has been at the establishment since the tender age of seven, and Joe's son Sal Scognamillo, who has been manning the kitchen for the past 15 years.

Eerie World Entertainment runs this immersive dining experience tucked into Midtown Manhattan, where the macabre aesthetic of Stevenson's classic Victorian tale comes alive around every corner.

Two Manhattan locations exist—the original spot on Avenue of the Americas and a cozier offshoot pub situated in Greenwich Village—both trading in the same blend of theatrical spookiness and dining adventure.

Back in the early 90s, Artie Cutler had already made waves with his Italian restaurants when he decided to chase a different culinary dream. A passion for authentic barbecue pulled him toward Times Square, where he claimed a corner spot at 152 West 44th Street as his new frontier. To get the concept right, Artie and his crew hit the roads through Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Missouri, and Texas—the real heartland of smoke and slow-cooked meat. They weren't interested in shortcuts; every recipe, every technique, every ingredient had to measure up to their standards while keeping prices honest. That same philosophy that built his Italian restaurants from the ground up became the backbone here. Winter crowds hustle past on the streets outside, but stepping through the door means trading the cold for warmth and serious, no-nonsense barbecue done the way it should be.
