The spicy miso ramen is as good as any of the ramens from Ippudo. There's really nothing else you should get here. Make it extra spicy.
tasty banh mi sandwiches made with seasonal greenmarket veg (try the cauliflower one) and an upstairs "dining room" overlooking a rental car garage make this a sneaky fave for perfection
Don't miss the shrimp wonton noodle soup - it's Ma Peche Chef Tien Ho's favorite dish, according to @chefsfeed!
Follow in the footsteps of Anthony Bourdain and grab a spicy cumin lamb burger. One of the best eats in the city. Only $3!
Old-fashioned American food in the very modern NY Times building. We enjoyed the Sloop Joe, and the Mac & Cheese. We’re dying to try the Mac & Joe.
I go with the classic baoguette banh mi -- pork terrine, pate, pulled pork, fresh herbs -- and an iced Vietnamese coffee
Stop by Mei Li Wah. Grab a roast pork bun, baked, hot out of the oven. On your way out, ask for sticky rice and a soy milk.
Noodles with ginger and scallion, roast pig or duck, shrimp wontons, flowering chives. Cheap, fast, actually great — and open till 4 a.m.

The location is what makes this Shake Shack great. If there's no dining room inside, get your food to-go and devour it on a bench in nearby Central Park.
Get the fish tacos- segments of breaded & fried mahi mahi are in a griddled, slightly crisp tortilla, w. shredded green cabbage and chopped onion, & finished off w. a slick of pico de gallo and crema.
These guys brought all sorts of tacos to Choice Eats and we loved everyone one of them. Mmm, tacos.
This Chinese landmark brought House Special Fried Pork Ribs & Shrimp with Walnut & Broccoli in Mayonnaise for Choice Eats- but the menu is so extensive, we recommend you get a few more dishes as well!
Wow, this place is way better than BonChon! More flavorful and spicier. One big con: the service is lousy and the wait is a bit longer (than BonChon). Anyways, it's the food that counts, right? :)

Best sandwich shop in the city. Been waiting 10 years for it to open on NY. Don't forget to try Shelia's Dream Bar.
In my opinion his place is one of the best lunch deals in otherwise horribly overpriced Midtown. 6 bucks for an awesome Italian sandwich that's twice as good as Subway? Yes please!
Schnipper's is basically the no-brainer option if the line at Shake Shack is too long (which is often when the weather is nice). The food is tasty, the service is fast and the options are great.
Xe May puts has an eccentric take on bahn mi... so eccentric that they're mixing grilled beefsteak with pineapple chutney to create the tasty "Sidecar." Read more.
In my official duties as a black man, I'm stating for the record, Koreans make the best fried chicken.
Most will go straight for the classic Chairman Bao (pork belly) or the obviously tasty Birdhaus (fried chicken). But do not sleep on the Broccolino (tempura broccoli). Extremely good.

This place doesn't look like much but is the best place for savory crepes in Manhattan by far!! Try the pear gorgonzola!
Leave your passport at home and chow down on the Cuban Sandwich. Ground beef stew is amazing. Don't forget the sweet plaintains!
The perfect marriage of American & Asian fast food cuisine – the Dog are all delicious and amazing, but you can’t go wrong with the Wanding or the Vinh.
Lots of flavors & textures; even the bread is good. Spicy peach & grilled steak are my favorites. Paid with credit
a beautiful new york city classic. to try: alyssa and porchetta. and then make your way down the list.
Come here for some of the tastiest and largest sandwiches around! Our favorite is the pork hero with swiss cheese, fried eggplant and their famous "hot salad." The potatoes and egg is a close second!

Trust me get the Greek yogurt. Please. Please. Just do it. Beef gyro. Mamas sauce and taziki.
Amazing mini spanikopita and the mama gyro with beef was great! Haven't had french fries in a pita since Israel!
