"You don’t need us to tell you about Balthazar. Everyone already knows about this perpetually busy all-day Soho brasserie. Is it a tourist trap? A New York City classic? A place for overpriced eggs benedict? A fun spot to people-watch with exceptional fries? Yes, all of the above. Open since 1995, this is still a quintessential NYC restaurant, even if half the people you see here don’t actually live in New York. If you’re feeling nostalgic or need to placate a few out-of-towners, stop by and eat some steak and oysters on a banquette in the large, hectic dining room." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, sonal shah, will hartman
