That's not really true. It's just that a lot of first generation immigrants aren't chefs with enough status to appear in the New Yorker, the Times, Zagat, etc. and can be very difficult to find if you yourself aren't part of that enclave or culture. Also, something that is prepared "authentic" may not necessarily be made by a great cook.

Lots of chefs from other countries came to NYC to combine their homeland's culture with the American approach to cuisine. It's uncommon for a great chef to be absolutely purely authentic in the United States at all, least of all Manhattan, where if you're not making money from your food, you fucking die.
