Matthew Schneier is New York Magazine's restaurant critic, and his byline carries the magazine's weekly restaurant reviews, its First Taste pieces on new openings and its midyear best-food guides. He publishes a verdict roughly every week. Bark, Oriana, Zoli, Dean's, Odo East Village and Marcel all carry his name between April and August 2026, which makes him the most current single-critic signal in this city after the Times.
