Try the beef with chili. Wok-charred beef is tossed w/ kafir lime leaves & green beans, then bathed in a orange-tinted sauce of turmeric & Thai chilies. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks 2011. Read more.
One of NYC's best all-around bakeries, from the breads, to the cakes and cookies, to the sandwiches.
Holy crap that was satisfying and cheap. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME DO NOT TELL ANYONE.
Try the cemitas-sandwiches on round seeded rolls traditionally made with cactus pulp but Sietsema's fave is milanesa res, a razor-thin beef cutlet similar to Texas chicken fried steak, only thinner.

Begin or end your MoMA trip at this award-winning restaurant, which showcases German artist Thomas Demand. Look closely - the forest is not real but created with 270,000 intricate paper leaves. Read more.
Extra-crispy Korean fried chicken. It's cooked to order, so expect a 15 to 20 minute wait.
Great brunch spot if you need something a bit nicer for the family. Make a reservation if you can.
Get the Tabata Ramen, chicken broth enriched with coconut milk, then topped with ground roasted soybeans.
Another pizza venture from the resolutely Neapolitan folks behind Keste, it's the best pizza in Midtown hands-down.
We suggest the 5-Napkin Burger-the taste is great, the quantity abundant, and the onion rings we got on the side instead of fries are some of the best in town-and NYC is an onion-ring-challenged city!
Grab a Shack Burger before curtain! This Shake Shack location is a great spot for a quick yet totally delicious pre-theater bite.
A favorite lunch spot at Seamless HQ. While their burgers and shakes are not to be missed, the salads and sandwiches are also real winners. Oh and their delivery is super fast!
It's fast without being hurried, delicious without being expensive. Just be ready for crowds. [Eater 38 Member]
Small slices to go plus a sit down restaurant. Lazzara's claims to be the 'best pizza in the garment district' and they're probably right.
Great bread, tasty sandwiches, and some standout sweets. Don't miss the pizza bianca on your first visit.
The Spicy Buradi comes with either chicken or lamb, but we endorse the latter, which stands up well against the not-too-spicy mint-habanero sauce that moistens the wrap sandwich.
Come to this classy hole in the wall to experience whisky from around the world. The bartender is knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming.
The only modern coffee shop for blocks, Rex is a godsend to Hells Kitchen, serving up Counter Culture coffee, pressed sandwiches, and housemade baked goods to nearby workers and far west side denizens Read more.
The noodles at the West Side outpost of NYC’s popular, word-of-mouth ramen darling are just as good as the ones at the East Village original. Tip: Order the Akamaru Modern.
Mouthwatering Italian sandwiches – our favorites are the Il VIP, The Trentino, Marche and Abruzzo. Make sure to browse their various bars as well.
Great, super-juicy thin-pattied burgers with a variety of toppings and a good beer selection.
Quick and friendly service, amazing lattes and free iced lemon water while you wait for your drink! Best coffee spot in midtown
Great coffee and Danny really has a passion for his craft. This new(ish) Espresso Bar is in the old Artichoke cafe space, but the focus on coffee has made this a must stop on my way to work.
Fifth outpost of this Greenpoint roaster offers lots of seating and homemade pastries, but no computers are allowed.
Wow, request a table by the window. Maybe the best view in NYC with live music. Definitely the only restaurant with a 5 star feel at an amazingly reasonable price. Perfect for a romantic date.
Intimate gem of a wine bar in HK. Close seating quarters, hip ambience. Truffle Mac & Cheese was good. Lobster risotto was better than expected. Decent wine list and reasonable prices. Enjoy!
Take a trip to France without leaving NYC. What they lack in service, they make up for with delicious bistro food and fresh baked goods. Get the almond croissant or the brioche.
The banana pudding is perfect. I'm not normally a fan of it, but it's truly divine.
Food is delicious! And they have a super friendly staff. Feels like your back in Italy, very fresh & cozy! Try the cheese plate and the Pappardelle with Sausage. House Red is the best!
Get the steamed buns #1,2 or 3. They are amazing soup dumplings! DO NOT MISS OUT on the scallion pancake with beef. Best thing I have eaten in a while. So yummy!
A fabulous espresso bar with some fine sandwich options on the chalkboard menu, located amidst the bustle of West 38th Street.
Totto Ramen’s original ramen shop in Hell’s Kitchen is notorious for its hours-long wait and no-reservations policy. Avoid the hassle at the newly opened location (just a block away).
Ah, Rudy's. A hole in the wall bar serving up cheap beer with a divey but lovable atmosphere. 7 bucks for a pitcher and free hot dog with it? Perfect.
The Matador lunch combo is so worth it. Peruvian chicken (you can request white or dark meat) + salad + rice and beans + a beverage is the way to go. And their Peruvian Chinese fried rice is great too
Just try any of their thin crust pizzas, among the best in the NYC area. And they also serve Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for those interested! Read more.
Gorgeous view to the north, including Central Park. Grab a drink downstairs if there's a wait, and bring out-of-towners you want to impress.
You'll never look at Time Square/west midtown the same after visiting this modern bar/lounge. Everything looks amazing from up high. Small bites only, but make sure to get tuna crude & lobster taco.
The drinks are phenomenal, the food amazing, the ambience lovely and the staff is wonderful! They have a great thing going!
One of the most unique and delicious ramen shops in the city. Unashemedly inauthentic. A must-visit.
Diners have great things to say about the noodles and rice bowls at the Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop, the tapas from Mullen's El Colmado, and the terrines and sausages from The Cannibal.
Fantastic!! Best pizza I've had in years. Fresh ingredients, wood fired and absolutely delicious. The pepperoni is hand cut and yummy. Homemade sangria as well. Save room for the cannoli homemade too!
Pair your tequila with the queso fresco braised with ancho chiles and corn dumplings with charred corn and chorizo: Read more.
Amazing scallion pancake with beef. Think pork buns, but sub scallion pancakes and beef! So tasty!
Love the tots! There's one that's like nachos but with tater tots, one with pizza topping and one that sounds like poutin. Yum!

At this intimate bar tucked inside the Iroquois Hotel you can sip wine or beer, but we suggest trying the carefully-made, retro-style cocktails.
This sleek bistro offers “haute-cuisine versions of home-cooking favorites.” Their theatrical and legendary DB Burger is “rich, well travelled, charred in the right places, and a little bit jaded.” Read more.
Tagliere Pugliese , a carefully selected platter of cured meats and sharp cheeses, is served here with classic taralli. - Inspector
Try the Langosta Taco here, made with buttery hunks of poached lobster sautéed with a chile de arbol–based morita salsa. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Read more.
If you go, get a private room. It's not that expensive per person and you will overall have a much better time singing with a group of friends rather than a room full of strangers.If you don't plan
Honestly hands down the best sushi in the city. The Tuna of Gari platter is an orgasm in your mouth.
