Where to dine,

Suitable for:

The communal dining style at Co. revolves around a common theme—bread. The owner of Co., Jim Mahey, developed his passion for bread in Italy and brought handcrafted recipes to the big city. The menu offers a variety of toasts, soup, salads, artisanal meat and cheese selections and, of course, pizza. You’ll find it at 230 Ninth Ave., NY 10001, Ph: +1 212.243.1105, www.co-pane.com.

The raved-about Le Bernardin, headed by Chef Eric Ripert, is the place to head for outstanding fish and seafood. If you’re not sure what to pick or want to try a variety of dishes then the chef’s tasting menu is a good choice at $135 (without wine) and includes options such as ultra-rare yellowfin tuna, butter-poached lobster tail and Nebraska wagyu beef, langoustine and osetra caviar tartare. You can find it at 155 W. 51st St., NY 10019, Ph: +1 212-554-1515, www.le-bernardin.com.

If you crave a good, old-fashioned burger, then head to the granddaddy of all burger joints, Corner Bistro. The Bohemian bar has been around since the early part of the century and presents a short, simple menu. Expect an hour-long wait before you can sink your teeth into one of these burgers. Sidle up to the bar and sip a beer while you wait. You’ll find it at 331 W. 4th St., NY 10014, Ph: +1 212 242-9502, www.cornerbistrony.com.
