Yelp reveals its Best New Restaurants of 2024 — and an NYC spot topped the list



Everyone’s been yelping about this place.

Yelp recently released its list of the Best New Restaurants of 2024 — and a New York spot topped it.

Mēdüzā Mediterrania in the Meatpacking District has been named the best new eatery of the year.

According to Yelp, the “trendy, upscale, romantic, classy” place that’s “good for groups” has earned 3.8 stars from reviewers.

The Manhattan hot spot is the latest restaurant — and the first in New York — from Noble 33, a Miami-based hospitality group co-founded by Tosh Berman and Mikey Tanha, known for eateries including Toca Madera, Casa Madera and Sparrow Italia.

“Being recognized by such a prominent outlet in the world’s most competitive dining scene is an incredible honor,” Berman told The Post.

“Any ambitious restaurateur would tell you it’s probably the hardest market to be successful in.”

That’s why the Noble team took their time before entering the Big Apple.

“We felt that we had fine-tuned our model and approach to the point of being able to confidently introduce something new to New Yorkers,” Berman said.

The 8,870-square-foot location that previously housed Provocateur offers a trendy twist on traditional Mediterranean cuisine in a space designed to evoke the ambiance of both sides of the Atlantic that inspired the place and the urban hub in which it sits.

Celebrity guests including Taylor Swift and Cardi B have been led up to the private dining room on the second floor, but the team strives not to focus on the fanfare.

“We’re fortunate that what we’re doing has resonated with some influential people and we’re honored that they continue to choose us,” Berman said humbly while insisting that the team strives “to deliver on a consistent world-class experience night in and night out.”

The restaurateur believes Meduza stands out “because we’re not just a restaurant, we’re a fully immersive experience” that “blends energy with elegance.”

NYC made the list a second time with Sartiano’s in Soho serving up at No. 19.

The “classy, upscale” Italian restaurant has earned 4.4 stars on Yelp and has been recognized for its lovely outdoor seating options.

It’s been frequented by celebs such as Paul McCartney, Martha Stewart, Margot Robbie and Gisele Bündchen. 

The spot was opened by Scott Sartiano, the owner of the private social club Zero Bond, with three-time James Beard award-winning chef Alfred Portale at the helm.

The team also opened a Hamptons outpost of Sartiano’s this summer at the Hedges Inn, which was accompanied by allegations of a local bureaucratic “vendetta,” but didn’t pull the crowd away from the original location.
