No city in the world likes to reinvent itself as much as New York. Manhattan, Brooklyn & Co. are a magnet for people from all over the world – for all cultures and for all cuisines. Countless trends see the light of day here, because New York is and remains a home base for the creative gastronomic elite. If you want to experience the huge mega-metropolis and its influence on our world of food, there’s only one thing to do: go there! New York is particularly beautiful … always!
Food & drink in New York
The diversity of restaurants in New York has always been characterized by the many immigrants, newcomers and newcomers. Jewish delis, like
our favorite
:
Carnegie Deli
with the succulent
Reuben Pastrami Sandwich
in Midtown are still real landmarks in the Big Apple today. However, the new Israeli restaurants are currently very popular, such as the
Nur
not far from Gramercy Park, where chef Meir Adoni presents his version of modern Middle Eastern cuisine with a trout with large Medjool dates or the excellent beef tartare with sheep’s yoghurt and small artichokes.
modern middle eastern cuisine
is presented.
Vegetarian and vegan dishes continue to be hyped on the Hudson, which is why Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s latest restaurant
ABCv
should not be missing from the Murmelz list. The restaurant is informal and bright, and the dishes on the mostly purely vegan menu change frequently, satisfying even the most unruly carnivores.
Star chef Dan Barber offers a special approach in his
Blue Hill Restaurant
in Greenwich Village, where he focuses on local produce and wines. He sources much of his produce from his Blue Hill Farm outside the city, where he works with Cornell University to grow plants that prioritize flavor over appearance or shelf life. You can also find more information here at Netflix Chef’s Table.

Chic and with
foodies
Brooklyn, where a number of young, very well-trained chefs have set up their own businesses, has also become very popular. We recommend, for example, the
Lilia
by Missy Robbins. After seven years in Friuli, she knows Italian cuisine inside out and serves prawns with gremolata or ricotta gnocchi with broccoli and pistachio pesto … molto bene!
The rooftop bar is absolutely hip
Westlight
in Williamsburg, which won the 2017 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards for the best bar design out of around 1,000 suggestions. Retro-style furniture and warm materials such as velvet and leather meet modern industrial chic here. The large terrace on the 22nd floor with its unforgettable view of the East River and Manhattan is breathtaking. Of course, the drinks are also worthy of an award.
We also still love
our New York restaurant classics
: like the
Pearl Oyster Bar
in the Village on Cornelia Street, where Rebecca Charles prepares a sensational shrimp cocktail and the most sinful blueberry pie in the world, as well as what I consider to be the best lobsters in town.
Unforgettable and always an experience is the legendary
Balthazar
in Soho on Spring Street opposite the
Moma Design Store.
Classic French brasserie cuisine made from the best ingredients is celebrated here every day, along with a raw bar with oysters and crustaceans, as well as good wines and cocktails. No wonder our Balthazar has been loved by New Yorkers for decades. Reservation strongly recommended!
