New York — Where We Ate & Drank
We've eaten and drunk our way through 40 restaurants and 22 bars in New York—from LOS TACOS No.1 and The Dead Rabbit to 33 Michelin-starred tables we keep going back to.
New York is where our restaurant list and our bar list fight for the same evenings. The Dead Rabbit and Amor y Amargo are the standing orders; LOS TACOS No.1 is the lunch we plan around; and 33 Michelin-starred tables among our saves means the fine-dining end never runs dry.
