7 Best Restaurants in New York City for a Girls Dinner

Today we’re rounding up our favourite restaurants in New York City for a girls dinner: from the cosy and intimate, to the more party atmosphere restaurants where you can go from dinner to the dance floor. In NYC there really is something for everyone – and for every type of group – whether you’re the type to sit back and relax while sipping on a cup of tea after dessert, or the type who will be up on a table with a glass of champagne by midnight. Read on to find out which restaurants are our favourites for a girls night out in the Big Apple.

Tao Downtown, Chelsea

Undeniably sexy and constantly on-trend, Tao Downtown is the ultimate destination for partying after dining. Enjoy the very best sushi and fine Asian cuisine before journeying downstairs to the subterranean nightclub and partying the night away with your girlfriends.

Gramercy Tavern, Flatiron District

With one Michelin-star, Gramercy Tavern is the place to take your girls for a special occasion. You can choose from fixed price and tasting menus, as well as an à la carte lunch menu in the Dining Room, or an à la carte at The Tavern. Whichever one you choose, you won’t be disappointed!

Beauty & Essex, Lower East Side

Unassuming from the outside, you and your girls will enter through a pawn shop and be whisked down the grand, circular staircase wrapped around a two-­story custom chandelier, to one of New York’s sceneiest restaurants. Beauty & Essex is everything you want for a girls dinner: glamorous and instagrammable, with excellent sharing plates to boot.

The Standard Grill, Meatpacking District

Located at the bottom of the famous Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District, The Standard Grill is an informal dining hot-spot with high-quality food and cocktails and the very best people-watching opportunities. Choose from dining on the outdoor terrace, the light and relaxed cafe, or the glamorous dining room.

STK, Midtown

Although the Downtown STK is the best for the summer months (their rooftop terrace is gorgeous) their Midtown joint is a year-round beauty with striking interiors and mouthwatering steaks. Book a table, grab the girls and use it as an excuse to visit a part of town not usually frequented by local New Yorkers.

L’Avenue at Saks Fifth Avenue

A Parisian gastronomical experience awaits you at the swanky L’Avenue at Saks Fifth Avenue. L’Avenue is ideal for the ultimate sophisticated girls dinner, with an abundance of local bars and clubs to choose from for after dinner drinks and dancing – we suggest Lavo, Ty Bar, or Salon de Ning.

Chinese Tuxedo, Chinatown

Housed in a former opera house, Chinese Tuxedo is the classiest restaurant in Chinatown and the place to go for high-quality contemporary Chinese dishes. The restaurant has a distinctly cool warehouse-decor vibe and sumptuous booths to sink back into while luscious plants surround you.

Hotel Chantelle, Lower East Side

Hotel Chantelle is one of the top spots in the city for dining and dancing, with three levels of dining and bar space and a Parisian-inspired rooftop terrace with a retractable roof. It’s a favourite of the NYC party crowd and we recommend you go if you’re looking less for top food, and more for somewhere to party with your girls without leaving your dinner spot.
