New York Times
Web / YouTube · Restaurant criticism, annual best-of lists
The New York Times is one of the most trusted authorities in food criticism, with restaurant recommendations that carry significant weight for both diners and the industry. On Eatlect, we track restaurants featured in the NYT Food section — particularly their annual lists of the most vibrant and significant restaurants in America, compiled by the paper's team of critics and editors. An NYT recommendation or list placement is widely considered a major credibility signal, particularly for restaurants in New York City, where the paper's influence on reservation demand is well-documented.
