Yakiniku Toraji - Bowery
$$$$•Japanese•4.6(42)Located in the heart of Chinatown, Toraji An offers a modern Japanese yakiniku experience featuring premium cuts of beef, carefully selected Wagyu, and our signature thick-cut yakiniku.
With its intimate atmosphere, stylish interior, and private dining room, Toraji An is an ideal destination for romantic date nights, birthdays, anniversaries, business dinners, and group celebrations.
Founded in Tokyo in 1995, Toraji brings the tradition of Japanese yakiniku to New York, where great food brings people together.
More than a meal. The Toraji experience.Corner Bar
$$$$•American•4.7(23)We open our reservation book up to 30 days in advance at 5AM EST, exclusively via OpenTable. Reservations are available for up to 6 guests maximum, 7 days a week. For parties of 7-16, please reach out to info@cornerbarnyc.com. Bar Room is a bright, lively environment overlooking Allen and Canal Streets featuring hand-painted details by Happy Menocal. Reminiscent of a tavern, it is ideal for a fun dinner with friends, impromptu meal at the bar, breakfast or brunch bathed in sunlight, and everything in between. The Blue Room is a romantic setting tucked within Nine Orchard that features upholstered banquettes and original works of art. This space is well suited for parties of up to six diners, and dressing up for the occasion, should you desire. This space is open Thursdays to Saturdays for dinner only. The Patio is a sidewalk café along Allen and Canal Street, with a relaxed, intimate atmosphere amid the bustle of downtown. In case of inclement weather, indoor seating is not guaranteed.
Scarr's Pizza
$$$$•Pizzeria•4.6(245)First opened in 2016 and located on Orchard Street, where the LES, Chinatown and Dimes Square converge, Scarr's Pizza has been called, "The best slice in New York." With a focus on all-natural and organic ingredients, owner and 2024 James Beard Nominee (Best Chef NY State) Scarr Pimentel has crafted not only the best tasting slice in the city, but the healthiest too. Skip the line, book a table and come in for a pie. There is a full bar and the dine-in menu features the crowd favorite Hotboi and Clark Kent as well as exclusive items like the Calzones.The Highlight Room NY
$$$$•Cocktail Bar•4.4(122)The Highlight Room’s real showstopper is the spectacular view of the city through a glass wall that spans the entire width of the room and folds back to allow access to the outdoor terrace. From there, guests can lift a cocktail to the expansive views — north to the Empire State Building, south to the Freedom Tower. The north and south sides of the room are lined with two-toned leather and velvet banquettes positioned to take advantage of the cityscape views from floor-to-ceiling windows.
The bar, set off by wooden arches and antique mirrors, complements the greenery, and elaborate, candelabra-style chandeliers allude to the candles that would illuminate the German garden as evening fell. Layers of premium materials — plaster, brass, velvet upholstery, caramel drapery, terrazzo tiles — add a dose of playful luxury. Although the bar is open to the public, the overall sense is of a swank member’s club, a private Eden commanding the sky above the Lower East Side. Must be 21+.

- DDENISEGoldNew York City •36 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEverything was and always is perfect. The restaurant is run like a well oiled machine so the service is outstanding with happy servers. Will was perfect last night. The food is always excellent which is why the restaurant is booked every night. The noise level is festive and still so comfortable to have a conversation. Finally, it’s very NY. The patrons are from the neighborhood, this is not a tourist spot.More infoThe Odeon$$$$• French• TriBeCa•4.8

- AAnee2 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 28, 2026So far, this has been one of the best dining experiences I’ve had! From the beautiful ambiance to the delicious food and stunning presentation, everything was exceptional. The service was truly outstanding, and the staff made us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. The restaurant was extremely busy when we arrived, so we had to wait approximately 40 minutes before being seated. However, the staff went above and beyond to make up for the delay, which we really appreciated. Their hospitality and attention to detail made the experience even more memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful Michelin-star dining experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for incredible food, beautiful ambiance, and exceptional service!More infoMusaafer - New York$$$$• Indian• TriBeCa•4.4
