New York has more than its share of glamorous eateries. But where do you go to savour good food and seal the deal? Following Robert Armstrong’s guide to New York’s best business restaurants, FT Globetrotter asked readers for their own favourites.
Here are some of their recommendations for eating in NYC, from sushi on the Upper East Side to modernist Milanese on Park Avenue.
Seafood downtown
For Midtown meetings
Quality Meats in Midtown. Nicely lit, where you can watch people and also enjoy some privacy. The interior is fantastic, with a great staircase. Get the rib-eye steak and bacon with peanut butter. — Kush Davé, advertising, New York NY, USA
People-watching on Park Avenue
Greek classic
Milos on West 55th St is the quintessential “power lunch” spot. I have never seen the place without it being full of politicians, billionaires etc. — Nicholas Logothetis, chairman, Concordia, Washington DC, US
Understated style
The world on a plate
NYC ranks top of my list for both the sheer variety and volume of great destinations. Here are my go-tos. Sushi: Sushi of Gari, Poke Sushi. Indian: Junoon, Tamarind Tribeca, Adda, Indian Accent. Italian: Sistina, Carbone, Lillia. — Abi Subramanian, banker, New York NY, US
SoHo sanctuary
The Mezzanine in the Dominick hotel. A surprising oasis in the chaos of west SoHo. Generous spacing between tables and low-key venue make it an ideal place for focused conversations. Service is attentive without being overbearing and the food is as good as anywhere in the city. — Jessica Lee, communications, Ivan, US
King of clubs
