Best Restaurants in Upper West Side
196 restaurants analyzed · New York
The Upper West Side is one of Manhattan's most reliable neighborhood dining areas, with a strong mix of Italian, Mediterranean, and Japanese restaurants lining Broadway and Columbus Avenue from Lincoln Center up to the 90s. Prices sit in the moderate range, and the area has a comfortable residential character that sets it apart from the busier stretches of Midtown. A good neighborhood for a relaxed weeknight dinner.
