Hi there! I'm visiting NY for the first time, and have got to try famous NY pizza and bagels. We'll be in midtown and I have no idea where anything is! Please help! All suggestions welcome.

I am from California, the pizza in New York falls into five categories. 1. gourmet fancy, 2. the kind you eat on the street by the slice, 3. sit down old fashioned Italian. 4. Chicago style. 5. delivery.
If you have been to California Pizza Kitchen you are probably familiar with gourmet. It's there, it's, in my opinion, ok.
The kind you eat on the street by the slice just varies. It costs 1.75 a slice for plain cheese, for topping like 2.75. I have four places near where I work that I go to, all of which are the same. Sometimes it tastes like cardboard, so be careful.
The italian diners are all old school the best is in DUMBO in Brooklyn. Seriously. www.grimaldis.com
as for chicago style, there is one on sixth avenue downtown in the west village.
There aren't any pizza and beer type joints that you find in the west coast and midwest that you might go to to watch sports or after baseball games, in new york it's mostly sit down diner style.
delivery varies, of course, but bleecker street pizza is good.
As for bagels, the freshest are in the old jewish communities on the lower east side and east village. my favorite is davids at 14th and 1st near the l train, it is run by a filipino family which took over an old jewish deli, it is fresh and they are efficient and inexpensive. also good is essa bagel although i have never been there.

Pizza -- John's Bleeker St. (has branch in Times Square) Arturo's Houston Street or any place that smells like good pizza for slices. Bagels -- Zaro's multiple locations including Grand Central Terminal.

I have to agree that H&H's bagels on the upper west side are superior. It has the added bonus on being less than a block from Zabar's, one of NYC's premier deli/gourmet comgomerates.

It is almost impossible to get BAD pizza or bagels in New York.
John's Pizza is wonderful.

I for some reason don't eat out but I have heard rave reviews from actual people about Patsy's Pizza.
