2 hand-picked restaurants, critic-reviewed and ranked

Last Updated: February 2026

Our Top Pick
Palermo Argentinian Bistro Gramercy
Argentinian parrilla focus in a cozy Gramercy setting.

Worthy Picks

$$$$ Union Square Steakhouse
An Argentina-leaning steakhouse-bistro hybrid spotlighting fire-grilled cuts and a Malbec-forward wine list. It’s slightly more casual than the ZIP’s heavyweight steakhouses, with a warm, convivial room and straightforward, smoke-kissed meats.
Must-Try Dishes: Parrillada Mixed Grill, Skirt Steak (Entraña), Beef Empanadas
What makes it special: Argentinian parrilla focus in a cozy Gramercy setting.
$ Union Square Wings
A delivery-first wing operation run out of a shared kitchen, focused on straightforward, sauce-heavy comfort. Not a destination dining room, but a useful neighborhood option when you want wings fast, hot, and without markup.
Must-Try Dishes: Classic Buffalo Wings, Lemon Pepper Wings, Honey Garlic Wings
What makes it special: Reliable, no-frills wings optimized for takeout and delivery.
