Visiting New York City later this year, where are the best places to eat? I don't want to visit the tourist traps, I'm looking for proper places serving up New York food that New Yorkers actually eat

[Anonymous No.17320529]

McDonald's

Yeah literally no one has ever asked this before.

Also ironically those shitty halal carts are both tourist traps AND where "real" (working class NY Post reading chud) new yorkers actually eat. Yuppie transplants avoid it like the plague.

Other "real new yorker" shit: jimbo's hamburgers, golden krust (jamaican), fresco tortilas (chinese run "mexican" only found in NYC) , la dinastia (chinese run chino-dominican), papaya king, zaro's, kennedy fried chicken, and any of those 99c pizza places.

Not commenting on the quality of any of the above (some are good, some not so good), but as a "real new yorker", there you go. You're welcome, and don't come whining to me that it wasn't what you expected. You didn't ask for good, you asked for "what new yorkers actually eat", and I assume you don't mean schermerhorns, astors, or vanderbilts.

Don't bother, it's a worthless shithole these days, bloomberg, di blasio and coumo pretty much destroyed it.
If you have to go somewhere check out the dimsum cart places in Chinatown south of Canal st, I think on Mott, the names change but go to the crowded ones.

Lol no they don't asshat. This is such a classic dumb ass whiteoid move. There's a very short list of highly beloved dim sum joints and none of then have difficult names. Nom Wah. Golden Unicorn. Jing Fong (RIP). There. Idiot.

I recommend Xi'ans famous foods. Only avoid if you're a white person that can't avoid any spice at all other wise you can order their low spice levels at least (1-3). Very delicious Asian food. Great flavor, great prices. They have 'em in a few locations around the city. In a city the size of New York there generally will be few if any well agreed upon can't miss joints. Food can be too subjective and there's just too many choices. Katz Delis is incredibly famous and I've wanted to go for a while, maybe next time I visit. Chopped cheese from your local bodega is also a quintessential New York experience that I recommend.

it's "chop cheese", only ditzy blonde food bloggers from idaho say "chopped cheees". And it's pretty much just an uptown/bronx thing. anyone selling you a chop cheese downtown or in br-----n is pulling a fast one on you. as mta announcer robot voice guy likes to say, "don't fall for it"

check the michelin guide

theres a ton of really great places on the upper west side along amsterdam, just walk around and wait until you find something that seems nice. There's too much good food, you wont be able to get all of it.

If you want bagels go to russ and daughters or barney greengrass

If you want pizza just go to whatever place sells a slice for less than 2 dollars and has a line of people

bad restaurants dont survive long so most places are gonna be worth checking out if they look decent

Yep. Really great. There are a few of them. I used to go to the one in New Haven, Ct all the time. Very good.

I live in Brooklyn now. If you're open to suggestions there, let me know. Stay out of Times Square to avoid tourist traps. Little Italy is full of them too.

Pho - Madame Vo
Pizza - Joe's Pizza or John's of Bleeker for NYC style pizza
Pastrami/Jewish - Katz Delicatessen (Is it expensive? Yes but the sandwich is huge)
Speaking of Jewish - get a bagel. Russ & Daughters is great but many lists out there for good bagel spots
Pasta - Aunt Jakes is good.

If you want something specific, let me know. NYC is a big old place and can easy take 30+ min to get somewhere that looks close to you on a map. I'm not gonna list out Brooklyn if you're not going. All of these places I've either been to or have come recco'd from people who know what is good.

Lower east side, check out everything you can't pronounce. It'll be cheap (er), good, and different than most of the other shit you've tried.

Don't go to a cultural hub like NYC and waste all of your money eating at faggy Apple Bees reskins in central Manhattan.

Washington Square has some decent food around there as well.
