Notable Picks
#1
Upland
8.4
A polished Park Avenue South New American room that’s strongest when you order in a tight, shareable arc—one bright starter, one pasta, then a main that anchors the table. It’s a reliable “bring anyone” restaurant with enough energy for nights out and enough comfort for repeat dinners.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cacio e pepe, Little gem salad, Sausage and kale pizza
What makes it special: A crowd-pleasing New American menu that rewards tight, shareable ordering.
Worthy Picks
#2
S&P Lunch
7.9
A lunch-counter style stop built for classic New York sandwiches and a fast, no-drama rhythm. It shines when you keep it old-school—one hot sandwich, one cold sandwich, or a single griddled favorite—then get out before you turn it into a full sit-down project.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tuna melt, Classic egg salad sandwich, Griddled patty melt-style sandwich
What makes it special: A classic NYC lunch-counter menu that prioritizes simple satisfaction.
7.9
A Gramercy Irish pub where the burger plays best as a hearty, beer-friendly anchor rather than a chef-y statement. The room is built for long hangs, so order the burger while you’re fresh, then let the pub rhythm take over.
Must-Try Dishes:
Molly's 10oz Burger, Shepherd's Pie, Fish & Chips
What makes it special: A classic pub burger in a true Gramercy tavern setting.
#4
Diner 24
7.7
A modern 24-hour diner built around a big, smash-burger mission—fast gratification, loud comfort, and always-open utility. Treat it like a single-lane order: one smash burger build, fries if you’re hungry, and don’t let the massive menu distract you.
Must-Try Dishes:
12oz Double Smash Cheeseburger, 12oz Double Smash Bacon Cheeseburger, Single Smash Burger
What makes it special: A true 24-hour smash-burger option in the neighborhood.
#5
Ampersand
7.6
A cocktail-first New American bar that works best as a “drinks plus a few smart bites” mission rather than a full dinner substitute. The room is built for conversation and repeat visits, especially when you stick to the bar’s strongest lane: well-made cocktails and snackable plates.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lamb burger, Fish tacos, Deviled eggs
What makes it special: A cocktail bar where the food is good enough to justify staying awhile.
