The Ultimate Guide to Taylor Swift’s Favorite NYC Restaurants

Taylor Swift might be known for selling out stadiums, but when it comes to New York City dining, she’s surprisingly loyal to a select few hotspots. Whether she’s having a date night with Travis Kelce, grabbing cocktails with Selena Gomez, or enjoying a girls’ night with Sophie Turner, Swift’s restaurant picks range from high-end French brasseries to cult-favorite pizza joints.

A-Lister Approved: Where Swift Dines with Her Inner Circle

Chez Margaux

This members-only Meatpacking club opened in late 2023 and has quickly become one of Swift’s most exclusive hangouts. She’s been seen there with Zoë Kravitz, while Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted during its opening weekend. With a Jean-Georges restaurant and a moody club, Chez Margaux is where privacy meets luxury.

The Corner Store

Swift and Gigi Hadid made waves at this SoHo newcomer. Known for upscale comfort food—like wagyu French dip and lobster frites—the main draw is its martini cart that roams the dining room offering inventive versions of the classic cocktail.

Via Carota

The West Village Tuscan hotspot has seen multiple Swift sightings. She’s dined here with Sophie Turner, and it’s also the backdrop of her first public photos post-Joe Alwyn split. Crowd favorites include the cacio e pepe and the insalata verde.

Lucali

For pizza, it’s Lucali in Carroll Gardens. Swift celebrated with Travis Kelce here after an NFL win, but she’s also eaten here with Selena Gomez. Jay Z and Beyoncé are famously fans, too.

Emilio’s Ballato

A downtown staple, this red sauce classic draws regular visits from Swift and friends. Blake Lively and Brittany Mahomes joined her here in 2023. Try the chicken parm and thank her later.

Date Nights, Private Clubs, and Late-Night Vibes

Zero Bond

Swift frequents this NoHo members club for its elegance and strict no-photo policy. The space includes a full-service restaurant, lounge, and a wine-and-whiskey cellar—making it a top choice for VIPs like Swift, Tom Brady, and Kim Kardashian.

Torrisi

She and Kelce recently cozied up at Torrisi, a Michelin-level Italian-American gem in NoHo run by Major Food Group. According to Deuxmoi, the couple was spotted laughing, kissing, and flying under the radar with minimal security.

Monkey Bar

Swift and Selena Gomez had a recent girls’ night at this Midtown classic. The moody decor and rich menu made it the perfect backdrop for their high-fashion reunion.

Parcelle

Taylor and Selena also visited this chic Lower East Side wine bar known for rare vintages and a minimalist, design-forward vibe. Menu standouts include uni toast and fried chicken sandwiches.

Banzarbar

For her 34th birthday, Swift hosted a party at Banzarbar, an intimate cocktail bar above Freemans. It’s known for meta-modern drinks like Tom Kha Gai martinis and a whiskey-based cocktail served with cinnamon bark smoke.

Other Swift-approved favorites include Nobu, Freemans, Temple Bar, Mulberry Bar, The Waverly Inn, Minetta Tavern, BondST, and Paros
