DK Travel : New York : Places to eat

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.
Brasserie

Newly remodeled with sleek, high-tech decor. The updated bistro menu features modern French/American Pacific dishes but still includes a few classics.
Bridge Café

Opened in 1791, this is one of the oldest establishments in the city. Inside the quaint building, there are checked tablecloths, and a surprisingly sophisticated American menu.
Cabana at the Seaport

A Latin flavor enlivens this Seaport favorite, serving a Cuban/ Caribbean menu. Expect pitchers of sangria and spontaneous samba.
Café Boulud

Since Daniel opened, Boulud’s first restaurant has become more casual, but the French menu and tab are serious. In summer, the terrace tables are a fine dining spot convenient for Museum Mile.
