The 20 Best Restaurants In Midtown

"This “contemporary Asian” spot from the Marea team is right next door to the MoMA, so it’s only fitting that it raises the bar for restaurant design in NYC. The main dining room features sweeping rainbow-colored blades across the ceiling that might remind you of strings on a giant harp. For your next big night out, head here for some of the city's best soup dumplings, and don’t even try to decide between the sambal-smothered skate and the incredibly moist Hainanese chicken—just get both." - bryan kim, sonal shah, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
