Mayor Eric Adams’ go-to New York restaurant is a Black-owned vegan spot where he orders curry chickpeas and candied yams. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander frequents a hot new Indian opening in Park Slope. And Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine is all-in on Harlem’s last old-style-rugelach bakery.
That’s according to a new “District Dining Guide” from the New York City Hospitality Alliance, which surveyed dozens of city officials on their go-to restaurant within their districts.
“It’s not the best restaurant or their favorite restaurant, it’s the go-to,” said Hospitality Alliance Executive Director Andrew Rigie. “Some may be really well known, but others may be lowkey spots that don’t get a lot of press but are absolutely worth knowing about.”
