The 25 Best New York Restaurants for Fall 2014

The establishments below are presented in alphabetical order.

Chapter One — West Village

The dining room of Chapter One in the West Village

This gastropub-y spot offers a nice blend of boozy concoctions and elevated pub grub in a casual atmosphere.

Recommended dish: Fried pieces of skate paired with a jalapeño remoulade.

Review and rating of Chapter One restaurant in the West Village


Daruma-Ya — TriBeCa

The dining room of Daruma-Ya in TriBeCa

An authentic Japanese dining experience in TriBeCa. This isn't your typical sushi place (for that, hit the spot in the basement). At Daruma-Ya you'll savor Japanese tavern cuisine at satisfying levels of enjoyment.

Recommended dish: Foie gras aonori: nori wrapped around pieces of seared foie gras and bunches of rice.

Decoy — West Village

The dining room of Decoy in the West Village

Ed Schoenfeld and Joe Ng have turned the subterranean space below RedFarm into a temple of Peking duck. It's worth quacking about.

Recommended dish: Peking duck.

Review and rating of Decoy restaurant in the West Village


Donostia — East Village

The dining room and bar of Donostia in the East Village

The name is a hint as to what type of Spanish fare is served here: Donostia is the Basque word for San Sebastian. The food and drink here will transport you to the Basque metropolis in just a few bites (or sips).

Recommended dish: Chipirones: baby squid cooked in its own ink.

Review and rating of Donostia restaurant in the East Village

Stephen Starr has imported this Philly favorite to Manhattan's Financial District for a nightly fiesta of potent margaritas and tasty tacos.

Recommended dish: Tongue and cheek tacos.
