NY Eater
One of my favorite sources of information on the best restaurants (besides New York Magazine) is NY Eater. Every few months, they publish a list of 38 Essential New York Restaurants. Eating out is my personal sport of choice, especially in a gastronomically bountiful city like this. It's a great list because they include new hot spots as well as classic NY eateries. Not to mention they are the answer to any question that begins with "...can you recommend a restaurant ...." Here is their list for July:
