The 17 Top New York City Restaurant Tables to Book This Fall

New York’s insider summer restaurant season—when locals decamp to the Hamptons, the Catskills and the Greek isles and the city’s hottest places have open seats—is winding down. That signals the search for new spots opening this Fall.

A couple of New York’s best-known chefs are launching new concepts. One is the unstoppable French restaurateur Daniel Boulud. Already this year, he introduced his revamped Upper East Side enclave, Café Boulud, the adjoining French spot Maison Barnes and Cuisine Boulud, which caters to the city’s power lunch scene. Next up is La Tête d’Or, a French-accented steakhouse with a beef-focused omakase counter at One Madison Avenue.
