Hi all! We just published our 50 Best Restaurants List here!
From Nikita: Hi everybody! My name is Nikita Richardson, and I’m a Food editor at The Times where I focus on restaurant and drinks coverage: I tracked down the 57 sandwiches that define New York City, hunted down New York's most elusive hotdog, and compiled a list of our go-to budget recipes. I’m also the creator of the “Where to Eat: New York City” newsletter, NYT’s first newsletter dedicated to restaurant coverage (feel free to sign up here!). Proof.
From Brian: Hey there! I’m Brian Gallagher, an editor on The New York Times Food desk. I head up our annual restaurant list. I mostly help to coordinate the efforts of more than a dozen reporters and editors, but I also travel a fair amount to scout restaurants myself (Hello, Seattle). In addition, Eleanore Park (also in this AMA!) and I led a project to find the 25 best restaurants in cities around the country, including San Francisco, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles — with more to come in the next several weeks. Proof.
From Eleanore: Hello, I’m Eleanore Park! I helped put together lists like our best restaurants list in the U.S. last year, the 25 best restaurants in San Francisco. I’ve reported on the opioid crisis in America and how restaurant workers are stepping in with Narcan and written about some of the foods that have made it onto your TikTok pages, including Buldak carbonara ramen. Proof.
All of these links can be accessed for free, even without a subscription to The New York Times.
Ask us anything about our national best restaurants list, NYT Cooking and anything food related! We’ll start answering questions on Wednesday, September 25, from 2-3:30 p.m. ET.
