Hi, there

Should I say "Could you tell me which dish is the best on the menu?" or "Could you tell me which is the best dish on the menu?"?

And "I need to find out which hotel is the best to stay at in NY" OR "I need to find out which is the best hotel to stay at in NY"?

Please, among these options, which one is right?

Answer

Both sentences are grammatically correct. The difference is that the first sentences are expressed in a roundabout way while the second sentences used the word 'best' as a direct adjective. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong😇

Answer

To avoid two prepositions in juxtaposition, you could say: I need to find out which hotel is the best in NY, or which is the best hotel in NY.
