People who live in the Hudson Valley are lucky indeed that they live so close to New York City when it’s the holidays. There is so much to go down and see, and it’s so easy just to grab a Metro-North train to get to Manhattan and all that it has to offer.

So if, after the seeing the Rockefeller Center tree and all the other decorations, why not treat yourself to a meal at one of the best restaurants in the United States?

To make it easier, OpenTable has compiled a list of the “100 Best Restaurants in America for 2017.”

Not surprisingly, 18 of the restaurants are located in New York City. The only other New York restaurant that made the list was 1770 House in East Hampton.

The range of offerings include contemporary American, French cuisine, Korean dishes and California-inspired food.

Here are NYC restaurants that made the cut:
