ESQUIRE’S Best New Restaurants of 2010

BEST NEW RESTAURANTS OF 2010

By John Mariani




For the 26th year, I’ve been compiling Esquire‘s “Best New Restaurants of the Year,” and the competition only gets better, my narrowing down of choices tougher and tougher. Here are this year’s picks, which appear in the November issue, followed by a “Man About Town” report on the gala awards party in NYC.

  1. I would have picked Sage over Julian Serrano for best new restaurant in Las Vegas. But it’s nice to see Shawn McClain and Sage getting some well deserved props. And it’s also some welcome good news for Aria.
