Some of these are buzzed-about for obvious reasons. Union Square Cafe, a New York institution, reopened in a new location last December and was subsequently reviewed by nearly every NYC restaurant critic; its most tweeted-about day was April 25, the day the New York Times published its review. The most tweeted-about items there are wine and ricotta gnocchi, Twitter says. Meanwhile, Black Tap’s “freakshakes” are social media bait. Peter Luger, the Brooklyn steakhouse, is truly iconic. Le Coucou was, hands down, last year’s most notable restaurant opening and is still a braggable reservation to nab. The presence of a few others on the list, though, is a little more of a surprise.
In any case, these results make for a fine “to-do” list of dining experiences for any NYC resident or visitor. Happy dining. And don’t forget to post about your meal.
