The 10 Best Restaurants For Winter In New York
One of the surefire ways to know you’ve made it here in New York is if you’ve successfully managed to withstand our rather harsh winters. Luckily, the city is chock-full of cozy restaurants in which to take shelter. Here is our roundup of 10 restaurants where you can indulge in some heavy fare and shake off New York’s frosty temperatures.
1. Buttermilk Channel
Restaurant, Cafe, North American, American, Vegetarian, Gluten-free
A Brooklyn brunch staple, Buttermilk Channel offers a delectable menu that fuses traditional breakfast food with home-style cooking. This restaurant is known for marrying unexpected flavors like pecan pie with French toast and cheddar cheese with waffles. Come on an empty stomach to try other must-have menu items such as the duck meatloaf.
2. Café Katja

3. Heidi's House
Restaurant, Gastropub, Bar, American, Vegetarian
4. Northern Spy Food Co.

5. Root & Bone
Restaurant, American
New York knows how to pack a lot of punch into small places. The same is true for Root & Bone, yet another Lower East Side gem. No one can resist their signature biscuits, especially not when they’re called ‘Grandma Daisy’s Angel Biscuits’. Pair that with some drunken deviled eggs and you’ve got yourself the perfect snack on a blustery winter day. For dinner, indulge in the delicious eight-ounce steak with wild mushrooms and risotto. For brunch – and anyone who enjoys a little extra kick to their waffles – try Root & Bone’s waffles drizzled with whisky maple syrup. Then, get your dessert compartment primed and ready for Root & Bone’s selection of classic items, such as banana cream pie and toffee pudding.
6. Sugar Freak
Restaurant, Cocktail Bar, American
7. The Little Owl
Restaurant, Mediterranean
8. The Place
Restaurant, American
9. The Writing Room
Restaurant, American
Totto Ramen
One of the best culinary defenses against brutal New York City Winters, Totto Ramen’s 52nd street and 9th avenue location is always bustling yet intimate. However, you may incur a shorter waiting time at the restaurant’s new spot on 51st street and 10th avenue. Totto Ramen serves up authentic Japanese noodle soup, made with the freshest ingredients and spices that are consistently balanced to perfection. The menu is small, but anything you choose will be utterly delicious. The miso ramen is a good place to start if you enjoy pork, or go for the paitan ramen if you are more of a chicken fan. Order the mega ramen if you are particularly hungry.
