The best of Manhattan (2026)
The island most people mean when they say New York — Midtown towers, the Village, the Upper West Side and the densest run of restaurants, museums and hotels in the country.
Manhattan is thirteen miles long and has a different city on almost every stretch of it. Our Manhattan lists cover everything from the Financial District to Washington Heights, with the Upper West Side, Midtown and the Lower East Side carrying most of the kosher picks.
