There are SO many restaurants in New York City and the turn over rate is high. Every day a dozen places close their doors and a whole slew of new restaurants open. While we love trying the new hot spots, undoubtedly serving the sexy dish-of-the-moment, having a handful of tried and trusted favorites that never disappoint is important. I asked Compass + Twine who are local New Yorker\u2019s to share their top 10 lists.  Out of the thousands of eateries in Gotham, they narrowed it to their 10 favorites that never let us down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EMILY<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4924\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4924\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-especio-thumb-big wp-image-4924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/emily-760x428.png\" alt=\"Photo: Compass + Twine\" width=\"760\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/emily-760x428.png 760w, https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/emily-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/emily-270x152.png 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Compass + Twine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How often does one restaurant perfect TWO different comfort food staple?

Emily\u2019s burgers or pizzas have made it on to just about every \u2018best\u2019 list you can think of. Most recently, the Village Voice voted the burger as the best in NYC for 2015. Not a small feat. When there is a line outside of any establishment, you can typically gauge the true quality of the place by the number of returning patrons willing to wait in that line. If you\u2019ve be to Emily\u2019s once, it\u2019s a pleasure to wait in that line again. A few bites into that first meal and you\u2019ll decidedly wait an hour for a single bite, walk 10,000 miles for another slice, and perhaps sell a kidney for a swig of that Emmy special sauce. What?

Sometimes when you read a restaurant\u2019s description of itself, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s a little over the top. Not in this case. Nobody, in our minds, does fine Italian dining in NYC better than Mario Batali\u2019s Babbo Ristorante. Batali opened Babbo in 1998 with restaurateur Joe Bastianich (think TV\u2019s Restaurant Startup and MasterChef). Together they created one the city\u2019s highest caliber dining experiences. Once you sip down your silky Barolo, it\u2019s on to the feast. All of the homemade pasta dishes are outstanding and they\u2019re really what the restaurant is best known for. Our favorites include the Beef Cheek Ravioli, the Black Spaghetti with Rock Shrimp and Spicy Salami Calabrese, and the Linguine with Pancetta, Clams and Hot Chilis. Next, you can\u2019t go wrong with the Fennel Dusted Sweetbreads or the Grilled Pork Chops for a main. When in Rome, make sure to enjoy your dessert too. The Olive Oil Cake is enchanting and best paired with a nice desert wine recommended by your new Sommelier friend.<\/p>\n<p>GET THE: Beef Cheek Ravioli,  Black Spaghetti with Rock Shrimp and Spicy Salami Cal-abrese<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.babbonyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.babbonyc.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE SPOTTED PIG<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4930\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4930\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-especio-thumb-big wp-image-4930\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-spotted-pig-760x428.png\" alt=\"Photo: Compass + Twine\" width=\"760\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-spotted-pig-760x428.png 760w, https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-spotted-pig-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/the-spotted-pig-270x152.png 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4930\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Compass + Twine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Does it get any better than this place? Our opinion: no. The Spotted Pig was the first gastropub to open in NYC back in 2004 and there\u2019s been a line out the door ever since. At any given time, you\u2019ll likely rub elbows with a celebrity\u2026 literally. Even with an upstairs, the restaurant is small and the seating cozy, but that fits the vibe of the Michelin-starred spot perfectly. They\u2019re known for their char-grilled burger with roquefort cheese, which comes with a heaping side of gluttonous shoestring fries. It\u2019s one of our favorite burgers in the city. Seriously. C+T co-founder Lindsay even recreated their grilled cheese sandwich with onion marmalade and mustard for her wedding since it\u2019s ermergherd-good. Chef April Bloomfield\u2019s menu is home-style yet eclectic. For dinner, the gnudi with brown butter and sage is what put Bloomfield on the map. But no matter what time of day you dine at the West Village hot spot, be sure to get an order of the deviled eggs.

FOR-EV-ER. Raised in Japan, Korean Chef Takashi excels at delivering beautifully marinated, insanely flavorful, high quality cuts of meat, which are then sizzled on your own tabletop grill. The tender Kobe short rib slivers melt in your mouth, while the more adventurous beef cheek, tongue or belly slices will catapult you into epicurean heaven. It\u2019s a place. The flavors are superb and the quality of the meat is unmatched. Start with their famous Niku-Uni or delectable steak tartare and pair everything with an always refreshing Orion beer. Late night on the weekends, they serve THE best ramen in the city.
