James Beard Award-winner Christina Tosi, a chef with a serious sweet tooth, is the founder and owner of one of New York’s most beloved bakeries. She moved to the food-frenzied city to cook in restaurants and—after working with chef David Chang at Momofuku—opened her quirky, American-style bakery, Milk Bar. Her creative innovations, like the cereal milk panna cotta, became wildly popular and left a lasting mark on the city’s dessert scene. Curious where she likes to eat when she is off the clock? So were we. Check out this list of her favorite food spots in New York.

About the restaurant

I DARE you to not have the best night of your life here - the onion volcano is always a show stopper. Bonus points if you can make it all the way through dinner pretending it’s someone in your party’s birthday.

Vitali was a wonderful server and Romeo provided an excellent Chef experience for us. Went for a celebration and they made it so special. The food was so flavorful and the attentiveness of Vitali, Romeo and the support staff was an A+. Definitely will go again. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

About the restaurant

NYC's only revolving rooftop restaurant - and my first and favorite date night! This place is known for their seasonally changing "New American Cuisine", never a shortage of top quality steaks, seafoods and chops.
