Jaywok › New York City
44 Lebanese restaurants in New York City, listed by borough.
A Lebanese meal starts with mezze: hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh and fattoush, with kibbeh, fried bulgur shells stuffed with spiced lamb. Mains come off the grill, like shish taouk and kafta, served with toum, a sharp garlic whip. For breakfast or a snack, get a man'oushe, flatbread with za'atar and olive oil.
Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn Heights was the city's first Arab neighborhood, and Lebanese restaurants still line it. Bay Ridge, along Fifth and Third Avenues, has the most active community today. In Queens, Steinway Street in Astoria is the hub, where Levant made the NYT 100. Manhattan has the most spots, many of them fast-casual chains.
