100 Best Restaurants on Long Island- 2022
It’s the 10th year that Newsday’s restaurant critics have compiled a list of Long Island’s very best places to eat. In that time we’ve seen big changes in the dining scene, from an efflorescence of great Indian, Chinese, Mexican and barbecue places to the loosening of dress codes.
What hasn’t changed is what we look for in a restaurant: great food well served in an inviting setting. And if the price tag is steep, it better be worth it: We pay our own way when we dine out, and strive to visit anonymously to avoid any special treatment. We’re often asked whether restaurants have any influence over this list. Absolutely not. Dining establishments do not pay or otherwise compensate Newsday to be considered, nor does advertising play a role in editorial decisions.
This year, we welcome 11 new eateries to the list, so on the odd chance you’ve finished eating your way through last year’s list, you’ve got your work cut out for you.
