New York City

New York is just a place like the rest of them.

Here is my list of stuff to eat I usually send to friends who are visiting, the food section is the only one that is up to date. I could do a list of bars / shops / galleries / general stuff to do that is probably going to take a while, there are a lot of bars.

--------------------------

MANHATTAN

--------------------------

Rai Rai Ken (Ramen)

Curry Ya (Japanese Curry, highly recommend)

2 Bros Pizza (smack bang middle of the road average NY Slice Pizza - 2 slices and a soda for $2.50 or something)

Parm

Torisi (pain in the ass to get into)

Momofuku Ssam Bar

Momofuku Noodle Bar (honestly I'd go to Rai Rai Ken over Noodle Bar, if you want a Momofuku experience Ssam is the place to go)

Café Habana

Freeman’s

Miss Lilly’s

The Dutch

Navy

Shake Shack (a bit overrated but the park is nice)

Nom-Wa tea parlor (oldest Yum-Cha NYC or Dim Sum as they call it here)

Dim Sum GO-GO (no bullshit white person friendly Dim Sum)

Dudley's

Russ & Daughters

-------------------

BROOKLYN

-------------------

Best pizza (imo the #1 slice pizza)

Williamsburg Pizza (above average slice pizza)

Roberta’s (not your slice pizza)

Brooklyn Star

Roebling Tea Room

Fritzl’s Lunch Box (Arguably #1 Burger NYC)

Diner (probably the #1 restaurant to do in Brooklyn, maybe NYC imo)

Marlow and Sons

Crif Dogs

Sweet Chick

La Superior

5 Leaves

St. Anselm (steak house)

Jimmy's Diner

Reynard's

River Styx

The Bounty

Roman’s

Peter Pan’s Donuts

Coffee: Variety, Blue Bottle, Marlow and Sons (your average cup of coffee in NY isn't that great, these are some good ones)

Hey guys,

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I didn't make it through all of them last year, but I'm going to pick up where I left off. I'll be in NYC again from the 13th-20th of October. Any of you residents/east coasters know of any good shows or parties happening during that time period?
