A lot of restaurants opened in New York City in 2016, and a good amount of them left us feeling like that shrug emoticon we can never exactly remember how to type. But a handful - particularly the ten listed here - were exciting, fun, and delicious. These are the highly-rated new restaurants that are actually worth a trip across town. Among them are a surprising three French restaurants (it’s 1986 again!), a Peruvian restaurant, a Korean restaurant, one place making “new American” feel not-boring anymore, and even a bagel shop. There’s pizza and pasta worth getting excited about too.

To give you a better sense of what these places actually look like (rather than just show you some picture of a random appetizer), we partnered up with Samsung and used their immersive Gear 360 cameras to drop you right into the center of each restaurant on the list. Take a look around, and see what restaurants you need to get on your list.
