After we published the 2024 list of the 100 best restaurants in New York City, we asked readers what restaurant would land at No. 1 on their own lists. This year, on the occasion of our 2025 list, we decided to pose a question to some of the chefs from the list itself: What’s your favorite restaurant in the city right now? Their answers show a perfectly New York variety of neighborhoods and cuisines. Some even overlap with The Times’s picks — but that’s purely delicious coincidence.
