DK Travel : New York

With its skyscrapers, great museums, and bright lights of Broadway, New York is a city of superlatives. There are countless sights that have to be seen, but a handful are truly definitive of the city. These highlights illustrate the very best.

La Bonne Soupe

A midtown haven for the thrifty, with comfortable, old-fashioned, French bistro charm. This theater district favorite is a great place to eat after a show. Three-course meals starting at $14.
La Palapa

Authentic Mexican regional cuisine and great margaritas in a beautifully decorated dining room.
La Quinta Manhattan

On a midtown block known for its Korean restaurants, this is one of several Apple Core hotels – renovated buildings offering comfortable lodging, new bathrooms, and first-class services at reasonable rates.
Lansky Lounge & Grill

The only sign that this renovated grill was once a speakeasy is the entrance in a hidden back alley. Serves steak and chops to a hip crowd.
Le Baobab

The Senegalese cooking and the tab are both agreeable here.
Le Bernardin

Impeccable fish served in every imaginable way. Seafood doesn’t come any better than this.
Le Bernardin

Seafood doesn’t come any better than at this quietly luxurious French restaurant lauded for revolutionizing the way fish is served in New York. Chef Eric Ripert seems to have no critics. Of course, perfection has its price and you’ll pay dearly, but the meal will be memorable.
Le Cirque

Take a hour or so out of your whirl of shopping, shows and museums to be pampered and fed at Le Cirque restaurant where you will find dining at its best.
Le Colonial

Sultry decor straight out of 1930s Saigon sets the scene for a Vietnamese/French menu full of delicate contrasts and combinations. Relax with an after-dinner drink in the lounge upstairs.
Le Madri

Northern Italian cooking attracts a well-heeled crowd who enjoy the osso buco and extensive wine list.
