Best Seafood
NEW YORK


Nothing is more disappointing than going to an oceanfront restaurant, only to discover that the bland fish you're eating was frozen between being caught and being served to you. The best seafood is fresh, and prepared in such a way as to accent the natural flavors of the sea without overwhelming them. Presented in alphabetical order, here are the top seafood restaurants in New York.

Obika

Review of the Week

Don't let the chefs slicing and dicing behind the long counter-top bar at Midtown's Obika fool you: this is no sushi joint. It's a mozzarella di bufala bar, serving up three varieties of the cheese along with cured meats and a handful of sandwiches. After your meal, make it a Dinner and a Movie night with one of our featured films.
