Just the most classic ambiance- you are just feeling the SOUL of NYC when you come here. The pastrami is my favorite order here. HUGE stacks of meat on thin bread slices is the NY deli style sandwich.
My favorite tourist activity in NY. You get such a cool sense for how the city is laid out.
This is my #1 rec for gals in from out of town. Its got this Sex and the City vibe to it, though not like a girly place or whatever. The food is actually great.
Quaint and charming gastropub. Annoying lines, amazing food. The burger and the chicken liver toast are my favorites.
This is the kind of place that you just will not find in another city in America. Japanese grilled meat skewers. Crazy looking menus - trust me, this is a cool and unique experience.
Zagat ranks this pretty consistently as the top burger in NY. Its got a cool NY vibe to it and the burger is great, even if I wouldnt rank it #1.
Tourists love telling everyone back home about the cupcakes here. Im not much for sweets. Thing is, they are actually pretty darn amazing.
Late night hot dog joint is always a home run after a long night out. Crazy topping variety, stuff youd never imagine.
Elegant & romantic, good for a small group. Exceptional but pricey cocktails. Make a reservation though.
Chinatown. Best pan fried dumplings EVER EVER EVER. Sesame noodles, soup dumplings, scallion pancakes are also always on my order. I like it all here. Ice cream across the street afterwards.
Need reservations. Speakeasy entrance through the kitchen of a taco stand, it has a very cool/stylish vibe inside: romantic but not intimate. Tasty Mexicany-fusionish food.
Get the Bacon slice and order a Martini with onions. Try to finish the Martini before the bacon. Good luck.
Fancy Indian spot. My favorite thing is the Lasooni Gobi - an appetizer of spicy tomato/garlic cauliflower.
Coolest ambiance, great for groups - they have a killer private room. Don't miss the Devils on Horseback.
In the winter, the Kogashi Miso ramen is my favorite in the city. In the summer they dont have it :(
