about us.
01What is Top in NYC?
Your starting point for finding where to eat, stay and explore in New York City — and who to call when you live here. We publish curated guides, citywide and borough by borough, so you can spend less time searching and more time enjoying the city.
02Do you cover kosher restaurants?
Yes — kosher dining is the biggest part of the site. Every kosher guide separates dairy (milchig) from meat (fleishig) and names the certifying agency for each restaurant, such as the OK, OU, Star-K or Kof-K. Certification can change, so always check the certificate before you eat.
03How fresh are the recommendations?
Every guide shows the month it was last updated, and we revisit them as places open, close and change hands. New York moves fast, so check opening hours with the venue before you go.
04Can I find professionals in New York here too?
Yes. Browse established real estate brokerages, law firms, real estate and immigration lawyers, accounting firms and more, each with a note on what they are known for and a link to their own website.
