Located in the East Village, this italian restaurant and wine bar is inspired by the Janus, the Roman god with two heads. Giano is also facing two directions : on one hand, the atmosphere is modern and, on the other hand, the menu features traditional receipes, from homemade tagliatelle to chicken milanese. In summer, enjoy the outside terrace.
Established in 2004, Fornino gives you the choice between 3 "generations" of wood-fired pizzas : from the traditional Neapolitan recipes to the new flavours, with Black Winter Truffle or Chicken Sausage. The chef, Michael Ayoub, was the first ever Brooklyn chef to be reviewed by the New York Times and he is also an artist: he has personally handblown the light fixtures inside each of his restaurants! Fornino has 2 locations, including the Brooklyn Bridge Park.
If you are looking for healthy food in New York City, head to Hummus Place ! This restaurant serves a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. For exemple, ask for the beet salad or the roasted eggplant. For your main course, choose among several dishes made with hummus. A taste of Orient in Manhattan !
Because New York City is a harbour, you will obviously find fish restaurants. Or course, I recommend you to try the lobster, a product which comes from Maine, the state next door.
