38 ESSENTIALS

THE 38 ESSENTIAL NEW YORK RESTAURANTS, JANUARY ’15
By Eater Staff
 
It’s time to update the Eater 38, your answer and ours to any question that begins, “Can you recommend a restaurant?” This highly elite group covers the entire city, spans myriad cuisines, and collectively satisfies all of your restaurant needs, save for those occasions when you absolutely must spend half a paycheck. Every quarter, we add pertinent restaurants that were omitted, have newly become eligible (restaurants must be open at least six months), or have stepped up their game.
 
As it’s the start of the new year, we here at Eater felt it was time for a bigger update than usual. So here’s the new Eater 38, fresh for 2015, with 10 new additions.
