See All Lists
1. Katz's Delicatessen
New York, NY 10002
(212) 254-2246
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
OMG. Definitely my favorite spots in NYC.
I LOVE sandwiches, let alone Pastrami. My goodness... It's hard to even like write a description of it. Just go and try it.
First thing, they give you a ticket when you walk in, DON'T LOSE IT! Even if…More »
2. Joe's Pizza
Joe's Pizza is basically the standard by which all other NYC pizza places should be measured.
Now I'm not saying this is the greatest pizza of all time. But it's DAMN good. It's like watching a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. You know you're gonna be in…More »
3. 53rd and 6th Halal Cart
New York, NY 10019
Categories:
Food Stands,
Halal,
Street Vendors
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District
Honestly, I only eat here when visitors come, or when it's 3 am and I'm in midtown.
It's basically like the Denny's of New York City. It's solid, cheap, heavy, and it's available.
But really, when you think about it, it's not that great. It's just…More »
4. Mamoun's Falafel
New York, NY 10003
(212) 387-7747
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhood: East Village
The lamb shawarma is a mouth-gasm.
Lamb, lettuce, tomato, onions, and a sweet sweet tahini sauce. All in a piece of freakin pita bread. PITA BREAD! Pita bread is seriously underrated man. It's like TV actors. They're better than you think!
The…More »
5. Grimaldi's
My profile picture is a shot of their pizza. I like it. It's delicious. If you haven't been there, let me save you the trouble. It's worth it.
Here are cons:
It's in Brooklyn.
You're gonna be waiting in line just to get in the place.
The center of…More »
6. Joe's Shanghai
New York, NY 10013
(212) 233-8888
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Civic Center
Pork soup dumplings! oh gosh. Delicious.
My goto order with a group, Pork Soup Dumplings, Scallion Pancakes, and Sesame Chicken.
CAUTION: The dumplings are hot. Don't forget to cool it down before you burn your mouth.
The price is great.…More »
7. Doughnut Plant
New York, NY 10002
(212) 505-3700
Categories:
Donuts,
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
It's pricey. The line is long. It's out of the way. But boy... am I hard pressed to have eaten a better donut in the city.
PB & J, Creme Brulee, Strawberry, Tres Leches. These are the donuts to get.
8. Shake Shack
New York, NY 10128
(646) 237-5035
OVERRATED. Not better than In-N-Out
Ok, now that I got that out of my system, here's what you have to look forward to.
Two burgers you can get,
1. Shack Burger - Generous meaty patty, special sauce, and a potato bread bun (which makes it deliciously…More »
9. Patsy's Pizzeria
Dollar for Dollar, Patsy's might be the best slice. A coal oven style prices it at 1.75 for a cheese slice, and 14 bucks for a Fresh Mozzarella pie. That's pretty sweet. I actually think Joe's is the best slice in town, so if I had to analogize…More »
10. Totto Ramen
New York, NY 10019
(212) 582-0052
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West, Theater District
Oh boy. The Ramen here is delicious. I don't even know where to start. You know that feeling when your mouth waters just from thinking about something good? Yea. I'm doing that right now writing this review at work. Good thing I'm in a cube, or…More »
11. Burger Joint
New York, NY 10019
(212) 708-7414
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Midtown West
I really do like this place. The stars might fool you, but... I genuinely like the food here. It's everything else that's the problem.
You want the good news or the bad news? ok the good news. The good news is that the burger is great. Remember…More »
12. Pommes Frites
It's more the experience than the food.
Belgian style fries? Pretty good. They have so many different sauces and the let you sample basically every single one. That's nice. But honestly, the only one worth getting is the Sweet Mango Chutney Mayo.…More »
13. JG Melon
New York, NY 10021
(212) 650-1310
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Upper East Side
Like most, Bobby Flay brought me out to JG Melon. My quip with Bobby Flay is this, he's got the credentials, but I mean does he ever win in his showdowns or on Iron Chef?
So I finally make my way over to JG Melon, and order myself the Bacon Burger…More »
14. Bon Chon Chicken
New York, NY 10016
(212) 686-8282
Categories:
Chicken Wings,
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Midtown East
Honestly, it's not that great. There's a place just next door called Mono Mono that does it much better. If you do end up eating here get the...
Soy Garlic wings. It's fried a little too much in my opinion, but the flavor is good. Sometimes they…More »
15. Ippudo NY
Ippudo is like that decent looking girl that has a pretty great personality. You're like kinda interested but she's making you wait because she's not sure... so you're like, girl, you're just not worth the damn wait.
The primary reason you go to…More »
16. White Castle
New York, NY 10029
(718) 899-8404
Honestly, it's been overhyped because of a movie.
But if you walk into this place with a blank slate, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the price. I mean, 3 bucks for a 2 mini burgers and fries? That's unbeatable. Does it taste like 3 bucks? Yes.…More »
