3 Best Restaurants in New York City, New York

Opened in early 2023, the star of the show here is the perfectly crisp fish (made with sustainable cod) and "natural" sea salt chips (fries for the Americans), but you can swap in shrimp or chicken for the combo if you prefer. Located right behind the Good Morning America studios, this is the perfect location for a quick bite (to go or dine in) before or after exploring Times Square. If you're feeling adventurous the chips are also served in three “dirty” options: truffle, Parmesan, and chives; chipotle, jalapeño, and crisp chorizo; or bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions, and sour cream. 

This British-style gastropub with exposed brick walls and wooden tables and floors is named for—and located in—the iron foundry that was located here in the late 1800s, when it created staircases, doors, and even manhole covers for a growing city. There’s an extensive list of beers, ales, and wines, and the Euro-style menu includes beef bourguignon alongside light and flaky fish-and-chips. The lovely garden dining area is open in season.

On the second floor of the New York EDITION Hotel, this refined all-day spot is helmed by British superchef Jason Atherton, who presides over a high-ceilinged, dark-hued dining room. Best described as elevated British tavern fare, the dinner menu offers choices like comforting oxtail-spiked mac 'n' cheese, a hearty pork chop, and butter-roasted Dover sole; morning can mean a full English breakfast or American standards like pancakes.
