Going to NY, where do I EAT?!
 

I'm not into fancy shmancy restaraunts, I can go to those out here in Vegas anytime I want..

I'm looking for the hole in the wall joints with AWESOME food, culture & good prices. Not the plastic small portion shit that'll cost me a couple hundred bucks for me and my girl...

I'm not trying to pinch pennies, but I know for a fact some of the best places I've ever eaten at back home in SF / bay area were small family run places that were relatively inexpensive. I'm sure NY has a ton of of those too!

I'm up for anything, tell me where your favorite places or vendors are (keep me out of the PJs though!)... I'm going to be there for 4 days...staying at the W in times square.

Nathans .... lol

they have great hot dogs... and i believe you can both eat for under 12 bucks...hahaha

Ooo, I'll def give Peter Lugers a shot... whats good at Choga?

for quick cheap stuff here ya go

greys papaya for hotdogs...look for them everywhere

katz's deli for pastrami...down on houston, i think by 2nd ave

the pizza place on the corner of west27th and 6th ave

and if you wanna step it up a notch, i absolutely love casa la femme...its over on 1st ave in the 70s i believe

:thumbsup

Luger's is still my favorite steakhouse of all time, eventhough i live by the one in manhasset and another 5 other good steakhouses on LI, i still make the trip to brooklyn because its the best way to eat a steak. :glugglug

pepe roso in chelsea or pepe giallo in the east village. The best fucking real italian food you will ever have. It's cheap too!!

Absolutely hit Katz deli and have yourself a pastrami on rye. When your done go around the corner to Gus' pickles and get yourself a quart of full sour pickles.

And like they said get the hotdogs at grays papaya, it's a ney york tradition.

woo! more more mroe!

Virgils BBQ in times square. I get hungry just thinking about it.

For breakfast hit up the Kitchinette in tribecca.

fuck food lets go to SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mcdonalds and corner hot dogs

vegas strip clubs put scores to shame

well ive heard the mc donalds there is a great place :)

ChurrascariaPlataforma on 41st and 8th I believe...

Brazilian BBQ place. They give you a disc..Green side up, they keep bringing food. Red, the food stops. Awesome cuts of different meats. Different types of steaks, chops, etc. All you can eat for $45, not including drinks or dessert. The place is always packed and some nights they have a live band playing Brazilian music.

Damn I miss NYC!

we got a scores here in vegas

between that and the crazy horse my saturday nights dont end until about 2pm on sunday :)

Sylvia's NYC on 126th st in Harlem is a must.

Cafe Habana on Elizabeth & Prince for greasy Cuban food and absolutely beautiful models is required reading for sure.

After hours, after the club, make sure to go to Cozy Burger on Broadway and Astor for the best diner style burgers.

For the rest of it I suggest you wander around and try your luck. That's what I try to do most of the time. I have a few favorites but NY is a city that has the most restaurants per square mile of anyplace on earth. Find something new then tell us about it.

If you have room for dessert, go to Magnolia Bakery in the Village. Best cupcakes in the WORLD:winkwink:

mcdonalds!! lol!

World cup 2006 is coming! Promote Football-Babes.com!
1050 FHGs with descriptions and 1280 hiqh quality promo pics!

awesome, thanks... i'm going to be all over the place :) i'll def check out sylvia's!

making a list here

last bump for the afternoon crowd... this is gonna be a great trip & i'll report back here with the results

Virgils in Times Square for BBQ
Lombardi's on Spring Street for the Best Pizza on the Planet
WoHop in chinatown for kick ass chinese
Lunas in Little Italy for the best Italian (have been going there since in 9)
Greys Papaya for dirt cheap dogs
Tomoe on tompson for Nobu grade sushi, at bargin prices

AND PETER LUGERS FOR THE BEST STEAK ON THE PLANET!!!!!!!!

New York is the Foood Capital of the world, there is not city that even comes close

Dont even know if it still exists or what it has become as far as price, but 40 years ago, Mama Leones was the best Italian food I have ever eaten (besides my grandmothers) and Im Italian :)

I'd suggest resturaunts. :2 cents:

Grotto azzura on mulberry in little italy......you wont be dissapointed....friends of my family for 30 years....

Go eat at Joes pizza. It was rated number one in New York for best pizza.
7 Carmine Street New York, NY (212) 366-1182 or (212) 255-3946 that the infomation I got from there website at http://www.famousjoespizza.com/

I'm bookmarking this baby.

Peter lugers sucks. The only reason they have good ratings is because they are mafia owned.

10 years straight of #1 zagat ratings for "best steak in new york" is complete horseshit... greasy cold overcooked beef from a waiter who treats you like shit and accepts cash only (the waiter is apparently supposed to act that way). I've been several times and it's always the same and the food always sucks.

If you want a great steak hit Shelly's on 57th & 6th... best in the city.

If you really want to have great italian food, then fly over to Europe, certainly worth it.

Best surf & turf in the city. :thumbsup

Boulder Creek is where it's at for steak IMO.
