The Eater New York Heatmap has existed for nearly two decades to answer the age-old question: “What’s hot and new in Manhattan?” Eater editors do thorough reporting on the most exciting restaurant openings to hit NYC, as well as smaller openings and hidden gems worth having on the radar. Though the local dining scene has endured tremendous challenges in recent years, the city’s spirit of breaking ground and exploring new cuisines and forms continues every month. In this map, we narrow the field to those places which are drawing the most excitement, buzz, crowds, and early positive chatter, focusing largely on restaurants that have only been open for six months or less. When an Eater editor visits a new restaurant, even if it just opened, we share insider tips on what to expect and what’s worth ordering as well.
New to the list in March: Crevette, the Dame team’s third restaurant in the West Village; Golden HOF/NY Kimchi, Golden Diner’s next act in Rock Center; Bar Kabawa, a Caribbean patty spot from chef Paul Carmichael and the Momofuku Group in the East Village; and the View, Danny Meyer’s rotating restaurant in Times Square.
