Arguably, NYC has some of the best restaurants in the entire world. And though you can get amazing food at more casual restaurants, we all want a fancy night out every now and then. Yes, you deserve it. Use this map to explore my favorite upscale dining in the City - I love going to all of these places for special date nights, birthday celebrations, and sometimes, just for fun. Most of these recommendations are in Manhattan, but there are a couple in other boroughs. The types of food range from Mediterranean cuisine, to Asian fusion, to the classic upscale steakhouse, to Italian, and more. If you are looking for options to go on a nice date have a birthday or other celebratory dinner, or just like upscale restaurants, this map is for you. This is a living map of all of my top recommendations for upscale restaurants in New York City. By living, I mean that I will continue adding more places to this map when I come across them & you'll automatically get the updates!
