Serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and a post-midnight snacking menu, Balthazar is truly a round-the-clock eatery in the city that never sleeps. Between the cuisine and the scene, you’ll swear that you’ve stumbled into a 1940s Paris brasserie without ever leaving Soho. Amid the always-buzzy atmosphere, have a seat in one of the plush red leather banquettes and dig into the duck shepherd’s pie, or better yet, the classic steak frites, featuring some of the best fried potatoes in Gotham City. Also try Pastis, another favorite Keith McNally spot, 9 Ninth Avenue, 212.929.4844.
