- DDimitrivipNew York / Tri-State Area •74 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoNice Matin is unique in Manhattan. The interior is a well lighted, cheerful dining room. The tables are spaced such that one is not encroaching on other diners. The bar is small but inviting. The staff smiles and is genuinely concerned with your dining pleasure. They are polite and eager to please. The menu, which changes offerings from time to time and with the change of seasons, has numerous choices of appetizers and main courses. Vegan options are available. Nice Matin is a happy restaurant which serves excellent food and is not noisy! I take the 79th Street bus to have lunch there once a week.More infoNice MatinPrice: Moderate• French• Upper West Side•4.6

Discover Upper West Side
Although it was home to Seinfeld and features other cultural cornerstones like the Lincoln Center, the “Upper Best Side” has long been passed over for other cooler neighborhood when it comes to the food scene. It’s no longer an afterthought, as some of the city’s most exciting new eaters have set up shop above 59th Street, creating more attention for the decades-old uptown institutions. Jewish fare like deli sandwiches and challah French toast are staples, but now you can also find the city’s best dan dan noodles. Grab a cheap Gotham hot dog, class it up with easy and reliable French, and save room for dessert at one of the countless cafes. Just remember to stay intellectually hungry—some of the city’s best museums are right nearby.
