Join The New York Times for a celebration of the 2026 list of the 100 Best Restaurants in New York City.
Since the list’s debut in 2023, New York Times restaurant critics have explored the city in search of the most exciting places to eat, an undertaking that is as rigorous as it is delicious.
At the heart of the evening is Ligaya Mishan, one of the two New York Times chief restaurant critics, who will take you behind the scenes of this year’s reporting, including what it takes to visit more than 100 restaurants, how the list comes together, and the moments that linger long after the last bite. She’ll also introduce the chefs featured on this year’s list, offering a closer look at the people and stories shaping dining today.
Food editor and creator of The Times’s “Where to Eat” newsletter, Nikita Richardson, and cookbook author, columnist, and longtime Times journalist Melissa Clark will each sit down with one of the chefs for conversations about their work, craft, and experiences running a restaurant today.
