what are some good food places to eat in , in new york city?

Answer 1

Some of my favorites - I look for good value, good food and no stuffy dress codes:

If you like Spanish food (from Spain, not Mexico - it's an entirely different cuisine), Costa del Sol on 50th Street and Ninth Avenue is wonderful - for $25, you get a complete dinner with a ton of choices - AND IT's GOOD! You get a choice of soup or salad - (I never order salad when there's another choice, so I can't comment). My favorite soup is the Caldo Gallego - from Galecia Spain - a delicious hearty soup with bacon, chorizo sausage, white beans, kale and other vegetables; you can also order the cold gazpacho or a chicken soup with noodles. You have a choice of more than twenty entrees - at least six different shrimp dishes - my favorites are the very lightly floured shrimp with wine sauce and the garlic shrimp - HUGE portions. You can also order salmon, paella, a whole lobster with butter sauce, various chicken dishes, mixed seafoods, veal., pork chops. These come with saffron rice and string beans - large platters on the table for everyone. You also get dessert and coffee - the cheesecake is good, but you can have flan or rice pudding or icecream. As if all this food weren't enough of a bargain, if two of you order this three course dinner, you can get a bottle of red or white wine for only $6 more ($3 each)

A huge, impressive all-you-can eat Japanese/sushi buffet with made to order sushi and custom made stir fries, and tables and tables of very fresh food is Todai on East 32nd and Madison

Near Union Square: Via Emilia on East 21st Street and Park Avenue. Appetizers are unusual and outstanding - gnocco fritto - large platter of Italian coldcuts served with delicious little fritters; tigelle (not served in too many places) hot biscuits with proscuitto and melted cheese; wonderful soups, good pastas, fish is always fresh. Some desserts are outstanding.

In the West Village: Da Andrea on Hudson Street and West 11th Street.
Excellent pastas - I especially love their clam sauce, they, too, make tigelle, can get very crowded on weekends.

In the Village: Sapore on Greenwich Avenue and Perry Street - Lunch here has to be the biggest bargain in New York - $6 for soup or salad, coffee and a main dish, including good pastas - $3.00 more and you can have excellent fried calamari or grilled salmon as an entree. This is a very small cramped restaurant, but, in warm weather, there's lots of pleasant outdoor seating.

Greenwich Village:
AOC Bedford (at Downing Street) excellent food and service

Gene's Italian on West 11th off Sixth Avenue - very good, especially the seafoods and desserts

There is a bar, the Joshua Tree, on 46th Street and Ninth Avenue that serves a very good lobster with baked potato and corn for $15.

A restaurant with the real "flavor" of New York is Katz's Deli on Houston Street near Ludlow on the Lower East Side interesting area to walk through (note: we prounounce this Howz' ton not like the Texas city). There are two areas at Katz's - one is self-service and one is waiter service. Definitely sit in self-service - you go up to the counter, order your sandwich and, tip the counterman a dollar or two. He, then, will put much more meat in your sandwich than a waiter will bring you. (A few years ago several reporters went to Katz's with a small scale - some sat in waiter service and some sat in self service - all the self service sandwiches had at least a quarter of a pound more meat).
To add to the New York experience, drink a cream soda or celery tonic with your meal. Sandwiches are big enough to share - get an order of fries and you're all set. My favorite there is tongue and corned beef on a club roll.

Le Madeleine on the corner of 43rd and Ninth serves a good three course prix fixe dinner for $32.- Even better value - 3 course dinner after 8pm - $24.

Upper West Side:
Pampas, Amsterdam Avenue and 94th Street - Argentine steakhouse - best sweetbreads, good steaks, excellent fries and the best looking waiters - very easy going - lively bar.

My favorite Chinatown restaurants:
Fuleen Seafood, 11 Division Street (lunch prices are great )
portions are big and the shrimp dishes - ummm

Sunrise 27, 27 Division Street, I especially love their fried squid, but all the fish dishes are wonderful

NY Noodletown, 28 1/2 Bowery, small, drab, crowded - the food here is awesome

Shanghai Cuisine, 89 Bayard Street - really good Shanghai food

and three restaurants that are on the same block on the Bowery at Canal Street - I like all three, but I don't remember the names.

The East Village has so many inexpensive exotic ethnic restaurants - walk through and read the menus - start at 14th Street and Second Avenue, walk down to 1st Street, cross over to First Avenue and walk back up to First Avenue - keep doing that - you'll find so many restaurants and cuisines to try.

And, of course, there's New York pizza - I love Di Fara on Avenue J in Brooklyn, Totonno's on Neptune Avenue in Coney Island in Brooklyn, Lombardi's on Spring Street in Soho.
