While it’s our passion (and job) to check out new restaurants when we’re in New York, we also like to eat at some places again and again. Here are three perennial favorites:

A Voce elevates rustic Italian fare to an art form. A perfect example is the chicken al mattone creatively re-imagined with fennel and chili.

The signature Gruyere popovers at BLT Steak are reason enough to visit this elegant steakhouse. And then there’s the lobster salad, braised short ribs and, of course, the steak.

World's Best Popovers

‘Cesca is both a neighborhood restaurant and dining destination. Serving soulful Southern Italian fare, the establishment is filled with the hum of happy patrons.
