Restaurants on the Upper West Side NYC: Salumeria Rosi

This is one Upper West Side restaurant where you’ll want to order the entire menu. We know that we certainly wanted to on our first visit to Salumeria Rosi. We found out that a small plate or two is completely satisfying and contains more than enough food to satiate. All the more reason to keep coming back to one of the best restaurants in NYC… to try even more!

Best Upper West Side Restaurants: Fatty Crab Upper West Side

Fatty Crab on the Upper West Side at first does not seem like it would fit in. There is already a Fatty Crab in the West Village, anyways. But does Fatty Crab work on the upper west side? It sure does! The food is just as amazing as having a downtown apartment and equally as good as its downtown counterpart.

And if you have found one, let us know! We want to try it! This Upper West Side restaurant is only one of a handful of Shake Shack locations in New York.  “Really, until you’ve dined at the Shake Shack, Upper West Side, it’s hard to really have a serious conversation about the best burgers in New York City.”

Upper West Side NYC Burgers & Fries: Five Napkin Burger

Five Napkin Burger is a popular choice of restaurant on the upper west side. This is what we’d call “upscale diner,” but it begs the question: Is it worth all of the hype? Our answer is yes. Is it a burger from Shake Shack? No, but the food is definitely more than solid. Five Napkin offers eight varieties of burgers but they also have other options such as artichoke and spinach dip, salads, mac n’ cheese and strangely enough, sushi. We would definitely recommend trying their dessert menu as well!
