Local context matters too
A city that lives block by block
New Yorkers stay loyal to the corner bodega, the slice shop by the station and the dry cleaner who knows their name. Jackson Heights eats differently from Arthur Avenue, and Bed-Stuy shops differently from the Upper East Side. We write for every one of those New Yorks.
Before choosing
How the lists are made
We study every category in all five boroughs, weigh how a place has stood with New Yorkers over time and confirm it is open with current details. Every list is revisited, because in this city a favorite can change hands overnight.
