New York City is bursting with vibrant energy, fueled by a deep playoff run from the Knicks and the highly anticipated arrival of warmer weather. To help locals and visitors navigate the city’s bustling culinary scene, Bloomberg has highlighted five of the top dining rooms to check out right now. The selections range from Or’esh in SoHo, which serves up high-end Jerusalem bagels and a golden club vibe, to Bar Primi in the Penn District, a massive Italian spot offering crowd-pleasing pasta and a prime location for Madison Square Garden eventgoers. For budget-conscious diners, the historic East Village staple Veselka has revived its late-night weekend service with affordable Ukrainian comfort food like pierogi, while Hell's Kitchen's Michelin-starred Yingtao keeps fine dining approachable by welcoming spontaneous walk-ins for its tasting menu. Rounding out the list is the East Village's viral sensation, Pizza Studio Tamaki, which has taken the city by storm with its airy, fermented Tokyo-style Neapolitan pies that feature a distinct smoky flavor from cedar wood shavings.
