RateThisPlateNY - The Quest For New York's Best Food

I know what you're thinking... not another New York City food blog!

Welcome to RateThisPlateNY -- where we keep it simple. No drawn out restaurant reviews or in depth analysis of service and decor. Our mission is to uncover the best individual dishes in New York City, so you don't waste your time ordering a bad menu item, even at a great restaurant.

Every week, we rate the dishes we try on a scale of 1-25 based loosely on the criteria below. By clicking on each number, you can access a page featuring each plate that has received that respective rating.

We love good food and hopefully you do too!
