’21’ club
You probably already know the ’21 Club’ from films. Cole Porter sang hymns of praise for this restaurant 70 years ago, and it still lives up to its promises today. Customers of this former ‘speakeasy’ included all American presidents since Teddy Roosevelt, and hardly any other restaurant in New York can match its history. You enter the ’21 Club ‘ under a series of jockeys, which leads to several cozy single rooms. The ’21’ burger is of course the first choice, but in addition to classic American dishes, chef Sylvain Delique also conjures up delicacies that combine the past with the present. Guests must observe the dress code: jeans and sneakers are not allowed.
Address: 21 West St 52nd Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenue), 10019 New York

Russian tea room
Opulence is the word that best describes this New York landmark. The dominating decorative elements in the dining room include large, Venetian and Oriental paintings, which are framed in artistic, golden frames, and crystal chandeliers. The walls in the bear lounge are completely covered with a magical stained glass artwork. These midnight blue walls reflect the glow of hundreds of candles, and the question of whether the kitchen can keep up with this opulence is a thing of the past once you’ve tried the caviar.

Blue Hill
The Blue Hill in Greenwich Village is one of the “straight to the table” restaurants and is one of the best in this category in New York City. The dishes are lovingly arranged and only products from biodynamic farms from the northeast are on the plate. The not overly complex dishes let the ingredients speak for themselves. Dishes such as farm pork on cherry peas and pepper sauce or lamb neck and belly from grass-fed animals on fermented oatmeal and horseradish are on the menu.

Balthazar
Keith McNally conjures a breeze from Paris to Manhattan at the Balthazar.

Barney Greengrass
For over 100 years, this traditional Jewish deli has served all the kosher classics such as cheese blintzes, caviar and lots of smoked fish. Sturgeon and smoked salmon are excellent here and are best combined with a bagel and cream cheese. The atmosphere in this Upper West Side location is relaxed and good for starting the day, perhaps with a New York Times in front of you.

Mustache
The colorful wall hangings and copper-clad tables give this West Village restaurant a touch of the exotic, but the real attraction is the delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. After the citrusy hummus served with freshly baked pita bread, you can eat a pizta covered with spicy minced lamb every day from midday to midnight.

Second Avenue Deli
New York’s Lower East Side was once crowded with excellent Jewish delis, but this is one of the last. You can eat in the Molly Picon Room , which is filled with numerous souvenirs of famous Yiddish theater stars. The portions are huge, so that often half a sandwich (of course corned beef ) and a bowl of the best matzoh ball soup in town are enough.
