Zagat’s 2017 guide to New York City’s best restaurants is out.
And while many of the top restaurants will be familiar to foodies, Zagat devotees will notice the guide itself looks a little different.

But never fear, the trusty dollar-sign price guide and breezy quotations describing the cuisine and the decor remain in this year’s guide, which offers separate 5-point ratings for the food, decor and service at each restaurant.
Here’s a look at 20 restaurants at the top of the “top food” category.
