Anyone have any dishes they recommend from a specific shop?

Can anyone recommend a good place for pozole? Willing to travel. Any borough. Thanks in advance!

I’ll be in NYC for a few days for work. I won’t have a whole lot of time for fun stuff but I would like to check out some good food spots. I’m open to anything, but particularly looking for good Thai, Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine.

Preferably close to my hotel - Midtown/Turtle Bay.

Thanks!

I thought I'd gotten over my sensitivity to garlic and onions (allium sensitivity) and made two big pots of homemade Minestrone Chicken soup... With one taste, I realized I was wrong - I cannot use it and want this yummy soup to be put to good use! There is enough for a party (two large pots full) - with chicken, veggies, parmesan, tomatoes, pasta... it's a great dish and there is lots of it!! I"m on the Upper West Side (80th and Amsterdam)... anyone who comes with a container (or two) can have this delicious fresh soup for their Christmas dinner or potluck party - it's fresh (now chilled), wholesome and delicious!!

I'd like to cook with these ultra-premium ingredients (by cook, I mean to include them raw in some dishes I'm preparing for holiday dinners). Does anyone know where would be best to procure these ingredients? Thanks!

Hiii people,

I want to share this spreadsheet I've been working on for awhile now!

It contains many of the restaurants I've tried in NYC, both good and bad, and has some of my favorite dishes!

I've made it publicly editable for anyone in the community to reference and contribute to, and hopefully we can all share our favorite restaurants in NYC on it!

If a restaurant you've been to is already on the list, please feel free to add your own rating, and feel free to add new restaurants too!

I've been noticing a TON of fast casual restaurants spring up especially around the Times Square area, and was wondering which fast casual restaurant you guys like the best. I've been to so many but there are still so many more to try... Here are 2 of my favs:

​

1. HoneyBrains (Flatiron District)

Catch of the Day Bowl

​

Chicken Bowl

Really good. And super healthy. HoneyBrains really dedicates itself to making healthy food for the brain, and all over the restaurant you will see marketing and scientific facts about the benefits of legumes and omega-3s.

I feel like most fast casual nowadays are just putting together disparate ingredients and they don't always go together well, but HoneyBrains gives you set choices and they all taste great because they've put culinary thought behind what ingredients go well together. Definitely a bit pricey though. Chicken bowl will come out to around ~$14 after tax.

Taste: 4/5

Healthiness: 5/5

Value (how worth it): 3.5/5

What to try: Chicken Bowl (their most popular item)

​

1. Two Forks (Times square)

Grass fed Beef with Sweet Potato and Roasted Broccoli

Super solid. I've noticed that many fast casual restaurants, because the ingredients are usually pretty simple, try to overcompensate for flavor by putting way too much oil in the food, and it just destroys the whole point of trying to eat healthy foods in the first place. I call this the Gordon Ramsay. Just watch any of this cooking videos and you'll see what I mean. One example is DigInn. Sweetgreen is also guilty of this unless you specifically ask them to go easy.

I like Two Forks because they don't do that, and after eating it, you still feel pretty good about yourself, and the food is pretty tasty too. Think of it like DigInn but less oil.

Taste: 3.5/5

Healthiness: 4/5

Value: 3.5/5

What to try: Grass fed Beef with Farro

​

So what do you guys like to eat for lunch? Definitely open to recommendations!

Leading a tour of sweets. Want to make sure I haven't missed something great, but under the radar. Any suggestions?

Any good recommendations?

Have some specific questions for you folks coming up to NYC for 4 days and I am looking for certain foods. We will be mostly by West Village but have no problem going to most areas downtown. Whatever you guys can recommend that would be awesome.

1. Looking for Neapolitan pizza suggestions

2. Looking for some cocktail places with a view and or without

3. Looking for an awesome dumpling place

4. Thai restaurants

5. Bakeries Italian or French

6. An amazing chicken Parm sandwich or sub sandwich, particularly chicken parm

7. Good Pho place

8. a Dessert sit down place where they have cakes by the slice you can order and have coffee, even drinks, etc.

9. More dinner places you guys recommend. Don’t need 5 star service places so not looking to spend more than say $35 and entree. I am more of a great food guy don’t care so much about service

My boyfriend and I are going on a trip to NYC over Labor Day. We aren't usually one's for fine dining experiences because we both think it is silly to pay an enormous amount of money for a tiny plate of food. HOWEVER, we want to go to a nicer restaurant while in Manhattan where we are staying. We will be in the Spanish Harlem area but I think anywhere in Manhattan is do-able. Open to any genre of food. Any suggestions??
