The Bloggers With The Most To Say

I LOVE eating and I LOVE NYC! I'm sure you guys have been to lots of great places that I've never tried (and maybe vice versa), so it would be great to see everyone's Top 5 NYC Restaurant List!

Oh, do I miss NYC food! Floridians have no idea what pizza and/or bagels REALLY taste like! I am so 'culinary- deprived' here. I LOVE Asian food and you can go to just about any place in NYC and get a fantastic, authetic Asian meal. It is so hard to narrow it to five but I will see what I can do...right now I am too hungry to think clearly:(
I'm about to spend 8 months in Cali and have already gained a considerable amount of weight "stocking up" on bagels and pizza- and amazing Chinese/Japanese/Thai food!!!
I love to eat out in NYC too!!
1) Gramercy Tavern (never, ever disappoints me. Great service too.)
2) Katz's Deli (BEST PASTRAMI. EVER.)
3) Hatsuhana - I'm obsessed with sushi.
4) Saigon Grill (unfortunately I haven't been back in a while, since their delivery people went on strike because they were severely underpaid... so don't go there until they start paying them properly...)
5) Peter Luger's - it is the best steak in NYC, and it's in brooklyn.
Last year I lived like 4 blocks from Katz's and it was DANGEROUS. So much matzo ball soup and cheesecake. YUM. Oh, and I adore Gramercy Tavern.
Blue Water Grill
Il Giglio
Nobu
1. Lomzynianka Restaurant
646 Manhattan Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11222
Best food....EVER. It's Polish.

2. I can never wait out the line at Taisho, so Menkuite is our local Japanese place. Delicious.
3. Florent, as my fancy pick.
4. Sarabeths for breakfast (Loooooove fancy oatmeal).
5. Golden Unicorn for dim sum.

Have to go to the Gramercy Tavern, apparently!
Blue Ribbon (ribs)
Balthazar (steak frites)
Al di la (the only place I eat pasta)

Just a few. There are so many good restaurants and I have actually found even better ones in Brooklyn compared to Manhattan.
I second Blue Ribbon. The duck is to-die-for.
Mercat and Las Ramblas for wine and tapas
Cookshop and Freeman's for Brunch
Highline for thai
Southwest 44 for Italian

gosh there are so many more but those are my tried and true standby's.
Second Avenue Deli for the best deli sandwiches or chopped liver. (33rd & 3rd)

Una Pizza Napoletana for pizza (12th and 1st - not slices, though)

Saji's up by Columbia, for cheap sushi (uhhh... 109th and bdwy? 108th?)

for UWS sushi, try Kouzan, at 93rd and Amsterdam

for midtown lunch, if you've got a little time on your hands, Le Pain Quotidien is at 58th and 7th, so it's a little bit of a walk for most midtowners and the service is super-slow, but it's not too bad and it's rpetty good from a nutrition perspective.

and how can you pass up the automat on St. Mark's between 2nd and 3rd?

also, if you're a dork and you like carousel sushi like me, there's a place called East (part of a chaim) at 27th and 3rd. it's easy to lsoe track of how much you're spending, though.

OH. CraftBar. unbelievable, especially if you go with just one or two other people and you share all your food; they're mostly small dishes, so perfect for sampling a lot of flavors, and the wait staff is good at recommending not-too-expensive wines that pair perfectly. It's just north of union square... I'm gonna say 19th and bdwy?
well, this is certainly getting bookmarked. i love food a little bit too much.

la mela in little italy for the best italian i've had outside my own house.
for steak, i'm sold on uncle jack's on 9th. their filet mignon pwns me.
oooh, good call on la mela. I'm gonna go ahead and say the best gnocchi in the city is at Max Soha, at 123rd and Amsterdam. not so much fun on a hot summer night, since it's hard to get a patio table unless you're there early, and the inside doesn't have AC, but for the next couple fo weeks and again in the fall, it's fantastic. And if you CAN get a patio seat, it's still better. The sangria will fix anything that's bothering you.
