One of the hotel restaurants you have to try in NY
1.**THE PRINT RESTAURANT - INK 48 **
The views over the Hudson and Midtown from its rooftop, the Press Lounge, are famous, but the kitchen of the Print Restaurant cards the wool with its hard work daily changing menu based on what chefs Meghan Boledovich and Charles Rodriguez find that day at the local farmers market. a seasonal card (that is why they warn that it is richer between May and October, at the harvest time), based on products from the area to create dishes inspired by American cuisine at a more than reasonable price is the success of this restaurant located on the ground floor of the Hotel Ink 48 , in a building that was previously a printing house.
It will be how well they have taken advantage of their past of ink and paper for decoration, it will be the Crispy risotto with mushrooms and al dente vegetables , or could it be that the two things together are a (personal) weakness, but for a reason it is a very frequented place for breakfast, lunch or dinner by New Yorkers with a good palate.

2.**THE NOMAD - NOMAD HOTEL **
Trendy site still since they opened it two years ago Chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidara (the couple behind the best restaurant in town, Eleven Madison). To NoMad's No Mad Hotel he goes for afterwork drinks (at The Library) , but above all to savor the most delicious dish in the whole city that is well worth its star. Roast chicken with black truffle, foie gras and brioche. for two . Roast chicken, yes, the best roast chicken that you had never even imagined. On weekends you can order a sandwich for brunch.

3.**NACISSA - EAST VILLAGE STANDARD**
Narcissa is the name of a very nice cow that gives milk for the whole week. Or so they say in this restaurant created by André Balazs in his third hotel in New York, the East Village Standard , alongside Michelin-starred chef John Fraser. Opened this year, it is already one of the favorites of the New York night for its organic menu , made with food that comes from the farm where Narcissa lives, owned by Balazs, in upstate New York.
A restaurant where people still go because of the hype created around its cool clientele (and its owner), but where they return for its salads and vegetable dishes. Even so, his vibe is more laid back than his west bank cousin , **The Standard Grill** in the Standard on the High Line.

4.**GREEN LOCANDA - GREENWICH HOTEL **
The Greenwich Hotel, nerve center and revitalization of the TriBeCa neighborhood , is the pretty girl of the actor Robert DeNiro , owner of the hotel and co-owner of the Locanda Verde, of course, an Italian restaurant to satisfy your appetite for italian american . Chef Andrew Carmellini has designed a menu that continues to be a hit, especially for the fast but tasty food of businessmen in the area. The homemade pasta and eggplant sandwich are a must.

5. THE BRESLIN AND THE JOHN DORY OYSTER - ACE HOTEL
Chef April Bloomfield is behind the menus of the most hipster hotel restaurant in Midtown (as it is also behind the mythical The Spotted Pig ). At The Breslin (with a Michelin star) she goes to eat the specialties of this carnivorous cook, above all, lamb burger with feta , the only dish you will find day and night. There must be a reason. But if you prefer something lighter, yours is also the choice of fish, seafood and dishes from The John Dory Oyster Bar, where it is best to go during happy hour, two dollars an oyster and five drinks.
Specialty in fish and, of course, oysters
6.**REYNARD-WYTHE HOTEL**
We were so blind to the most hipster rooftop, cool, beautiful, with the best views of Brooklyn, that we never noticed in the restaurant of the Wythe hotel on its ground floor, the Reynard. But one very hot day (and despite that, a very long line to go up to the rooftop), that changed, and looking for the air conditioning, we found with one of the best brunches in Williamsburg (which varies depending on the season and what's on the market), served, of course, and that doesn't change, by waiters with mustaches and impossible print shirts (still!) and languid waitresses with big glasses . Its biggest competitor, also with a rooftop, but also with a pool, is ** The Elm ** at the McCarren Hotel.
Williamsburg's first major hotel.
7.**GEMMA-BOWERY HOTEL**
And on the other side of the East River, Gemma, the restaurant of the also trendy The Bowery Hotel , is where you go for brunch or just breakfast. If their eggs à la Gemma (with prosciutto, asparagus, brioche and salmon), their polenta or, of course, their pizzas don't convince you... We'll see if this fact whets your appetite: you have a high chance of running into Ryan Gosling . Let the actress ** Carmen Ruiz ** tell you.
8.**NOUGATINE AT JEAN GEORGES-TRUMP HOTEL**
The casual sister of Jean Georges is called Nougatine. Y the only reason for that nickname is the price much more palatable than her classy older sister, the Jean-Georges , one of the most exclusive restaurants in New York, with three Michelin stars . Because the quality of the menu and the inventiveness of its dishes is just as rich and special, with the difference that you can eat it at the bar and at a fixed price ($38 starter, main course and dessert). Its terrace is invisible to the hubbub of Columbus Circle , despite being just below the Ball of the World, and, moreover, the perfect place for a lunch among New York VIPs before a walk through Central Park.
Michelin star classicism and refinement
9.**BOULUD COFFEE - SURREY HOTEL **
As with Nougatine, Café Boulud is the little sister of Daniel , the three Michelin star restaurant and flagship of the French chef, Daniel Boulud, although in this case they are located in different hotels, both places c classics of the most exclusive Upper East Side . Boulud is famous for the combination of its four muses when creating the menu: tradition, season, garden and travel. And, once again, the best way to taste those four elements is to sit down with the casual sister and try its fixed price menu during the meal ($37 for three courses, $43 for four) .
10.**THE JOINT BURGER - LE PARKER MERIDIEN **
As a counterpoint to all this elegant and delicious table, the also delicious but not at all elegant, Joint Burger at Le Parker Meridien. Delicious greasy burgers , fries and beer in a mug. All on painted wooden tables by the hundreds of tourists and natives who know the secret.
