Where does chef Michael Symon send out-of-town visitors when they come to town? The New York Post asked and he answered, ticking off a list of 10 can't-miss stops.

#1 West Side Market

“One of the most special places where I bring all my chef friends when they visit," Symon says in the article. “Regardless of whether I bring in chefs from New York or San Francisco or another country, it just blows them away.”.

#2 Great Lakes Brewing Co.

“Microbreweries are very hot right now; this has been there [almost] 30 years and is arguably one of the best."

#3 Velvet Tango Room

“It was so ahead of its time,” he says. “It’s been open 18 years; they were doing all the cool things long ago."

#4 ABC the Tavern

Symon recommends this bar for its cheap drinks and great burgers.

Also mentioned: Banyan Tree, Beachland Ballroom, Big Al's Diner, Greenhouse Tavern, Happy Dog and Superior Pho.
