My Top 10 Bites in NYC in 2024 (Guide for Foodies)

Here's what dining out over the past five years taught me about the best of the best. Save this list if you're planning to visit New York.

New York City is a food lover’s fever dream. The city has a way of seducing taste buds at every turn and thankfully you don’t need to rely on fancy Michelin-starred joints to get a great meal (though hey, I’m not saying no to a little caviar every now and then). In fact, 90% of my most memorable bites from 2024 didn’t come with a dizzying waitlist or much fanfare.

On my way to eat!

I’m not in the business of gatekeeping New York’s finest, so here’s a list of 10 dishes that exceeded expectations in 2024 — they’re definitely worth a detour, especially for foodies!
