50 (Yes, 50) Restaurant Recs From New Yorkers Consider this your new guide to New York City restaurants + some bonus LA recs.

I asked 50 New Yorkers for their best restaurant recommendations. ❤️‍🔥

At least once a week, someone asks me for a rec, and while I’m happy to oblige, it’s more fun (and useful) to gather intel from people I know, adore and trust.
