9 NY Restaurants Named Among Nation's Top 100 for Foodies

Nine New York restaurants, including one with ties to the Hudson Valley, made OpenTable's list of the 100 Best Restaurants for Foodies in America released on Wednesday.

For people who travel into Manhattan for work or dinner and a show, this is a list worth knowing about.

The list was generated from more than 5 million restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners between Aug. 1, 2015, and July 31, 2016. All restaurants with a minimum "overall" score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of qualifying reviews for which "fit for foodies" was selected as a special feature, according to OpenTable.

The list features restaurants from 30 states and the District of Columbia. California leads the way with 17 restaurants.

New York has the second most with nine restaurants, with seven of those located in Manhattan.

Blue Hill, which is located in Greenwich Village, is owned by the same people—David, Dan and Laureen Barber—who own Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills.

The other two restaurants in New York are The Trattoria in Saint James on Long Island and Trattoria L'incontro in Astoria, Queens.

"These standout restaurants are delicious destinations for the most passionate eaters—those for whom dining out is practically sport," says Caroline Potter, OpenTable's chief dining officer. "Using ingredients both humble and exotic and drawing culinary inspiration from around the globe, this year's honorees consistently offer thrilling experiences sure to please even the most discerning diners."

Here are all nine of the New York restaurants that made the cut:

• Blue Hill, Manhattan
• Bouley, Manhattan
• Degustation, Manhattan
• Del Posto, Manhattan
• Gabriel Kreuther, Manhattan
• Gramercy Tavern, Manhattan
• The Modern - Dining Room, Manhattan
• The Trattoria, Saint James
• Trattoria L'incontro, Astoria
