Dining In Murray Hill, New York

As a foodie living in Murray Hill (which consists of the East 30′s in NYC), I felt the need to share some of the areas best places to grab a bite or take home some grub. There are so many different places to choose from and if you’re not familiar with the neighborhood, you may end up wasting your time on something average.

Let’s start with Japanese food. Chado Sushi has recently opened in the area and is superb. Unfortunately, it is expensive but it’s darn tasty! The partner/executive chef formerly worked at Sushi of Gari, which is one of the best in NYC. So by no surprise, expect great things. They’re known for their sauces they use and their Omikase, so take a chance and try out whatever the chef suggests.

Everyone deserves a Philly Cheesesteak from time to time. If you’re going to spoil yourself, then go with Carl’s Cheesesteak’s. I’ve had these sandwiches in Philadelphia, in NYC and several other parts of the country, but this is hands down, one of the best! You can’t go wrong with cheese whiz and onions on your hero.

Mexican food is one my favorites. I’m talkin’ high end Mexican food, like they make at Biblioteca on Third Avenue. They make amazing fish tacos and if I had to eat one thing everyday, it would be these tacos. This compliments their incredible list of high end Tequila as well.

Chinese food is extremely popular for delivery. Grand Sichuan has American Chinese food, but they also have some authentic dishes that are delicious. Hot Pot, which is a common dish during the Chinese New Year, is available there and it’s extremely affordable. It’s also very healthy and tasty, but make sure to get the sauces on the side.

If you want something more romantic, Barbes is a true gem in the area. It’s away from most of the action, so most people don’t know it. However, it’s always crowded for good reason. This French Moroccan cuisine is priced well, with main courses up to $30. The staff is also extremely accommodating.

For a family style meal, Patsy’s always does the job. Some of the best pizzas and pastas around and it’s also an affordable option. If you’re with a large party and into sharing, this meal will leave you very happy.

Now get out there and go eat! This list will leave your stomach very satisfied as I’ve been eating in the neighborhood for years. These are the best places you can eat in Murray Hill!
