DK Travel : New York : Places to eat

Balthazar

As close to a Parisian bistro as you’re likely to find in SoHo, Balthazar’s only problem is its popularity. A buzzing scene.
Barney Greengrass

Apparently THE place to get the biggest sandwich you will ever find in your life. One particular infamous sandwich has every food type (meat, fish, vegetable...) known to exist. Men only need apply.
Battery Gardens

This restaurant offers a New American menu with Asian accents, and panoramic views of the harbor.
Bayard’s

Located in the restored landmark India House. The chef uses the freshest ingredients and the wine list is good.
Bayou

Cajun is a specialty of Steve Manning, who spent 10 years in New Orleans perfecting crawfish étouffé .
Blue Fin

One of the coolest places in the area, this restaurant is dedicated to serving seafood dishes including sushi.
Blue Hill

Highly praised New American fare that uses local, seasonal ingredients, served in intimate, elegant surroundings.
Blue Ribbon Bakery

A casual Village favorite with an enormous, eclectic menu that includes everything from croissants and caviar to the signature fried chicken.
Bottino

Thanks to the booming gallery scene, this attracts a stylish crowd for good northern Italian fare and a lovely garden.
Bouley

David Bouley can’t go wrong when it comes to food. The room isn’t memorable, but the New French cuisine is heavenly.
