what are some must try restaurants in NYC?

Question

I'm interested in mid price, unique places, all cuisine types, in mid town and down town.

Answer 1

The best Deli ever is Katz's Deli which is on the lower east side . Check it out at http://www.katzdeli.com. Open in 1888!! Best Deli food ever, and where the movie "When Harry met Sally" was filmed when she did the fake orgasmic scene. Anybody who is anybody has eaten there!!

Enjoy and be well.

Answer 2

Mid price, must try... hmm.... (a lot of the places the other people mentioned are QUITE expensive).

For the most unique, best food I'd say go to Asia De Cuba on 39th and Madison. It is really quite an experience as well. Beautiful inside, amazing food, very unique. I think a lot of "stars" hang out there too, but I don't know if that interests you. I think it's worth going. It's expensive of course, but not as bad as some places I don't think.

So, getting back to your original question. Mid-price.

I'll agree with the person who said Lucky Chengs. It's awesome. Also, the Brickstone (I think that's what it's called), on 6th Street between 2nd and 1st Avenue has really amazing Indian food at a reasonable price. There are tons of other Indian places on 6th street and some of them have a sitar player, so you might want to choose one of those.

Benihana is a Japanese-style grill where they cook in front of you. It is reasonably priced. You get a lot of food! It is on 56th off of 6th Ave.

And for cheap and awesome hot dogs Gray's Papaya is quite the authentic NY experience. 2 hot dogs and a papaya drink for $2.75

For dessert go to the Bourgeois Pig on 7th Street between 1st Ave. and Avenue A. It is fondue (chocolate or cheese) and awesome sangria or just wine. It's cheap and has a really nice ambiance.

Answer 3

-Balthazar in Soho (Spring Street & Broadway) for an amazing French evening with some of New York's fashionable people.
-Camino Sur on 37th Street & 8th Avenue (close to Penn Station) for South American Tapas and great Steaks in a great atmosphere.
-The Modern (inside the Museum of Modern Art). Try the bar room (the dining room's usually booked), they serve tasting plates. Order several plates, eat slowly, have some wine, and you'll have one of the best meals of your life.
-Have drinks or dinner at a slightly hidden spot called 5 Ninth (9th Avenue and Little West 12th Street) inside an old townhouse. The atmosphere is very New York and there won't be a tourist in sight.

Answer 5

If your into spanish food go to Tio Pepe on 4th between 6th & 7th Ave...the food is amazing. It was rated number one spanish restaurant in the city last year i think. Make sure you try the sangria too its fabulous!!!

There's also a chinese restaurant with great food and the entire time you are there you get free white wine. I'm not sure of the name of it but it was at 88th & Amsterdam Ave. I went with three friends and we all got full meals and the bill was only like $45, and got free wine all night!!! Can't beat it!
