From Michelin rated fine dining to corner stands, New York City food culture is well-known for its diversity and international influences. In the busiest parts of town, like Times Square, the options tend to be chain restaurants and fast food, but branch out to the surrounding neighborhoods or a few subway stops away, and you'll be sure to find something unique. Unofficial neighborhoods like Korea Town near Herald Square or Little India along Lexington Avenue are excellent destinations for ethnic food experiences. If you're looking for something trendy and contemporary, Williamsburg and the East Village are booming with small, hip restaurants.

Go for your birthday and you will get a treat, they dim the lights, sing, and bring out Mango Ice cream with a candle in it! There is no corkage fee here, Bring all the bottles you like. Space is tight though, and the service here isn't always the best, so don't expect to be sitting around drinking for too long after you have finished your meal

Quick and affordable, the 52nd Street location is much larger than the original and offers more selection of ramen. The broth here is chicken based and so rich that it is almost opaque. The pork belly slices are torched slightly and the noodles springy.

Put simply, pho has become today what sushi was in 1999. Vietnamese cuisine has spread like a wildfire throughout the city, and the broth-based, cinnamon infused rice noodle soup is spearheading the rev(pho)lution. With vegetarian, chicken, beef, and seafood available - there is a pho for every taste.

This place is a cosy little restaurant just past the entrance to the Highline. A perfect spot to grab a delicious brunch (on any day of the week) before traipsing the Highline for sightseeing. The egg sandwich with hot sauce on the side is my fave!

Visit Beco for brunch. Its steak and eggs, served with black beans and fried plantains is from another planet. It is also exceptionally affordable given its location, each plate costing a portion of the average Williamsburg entree. Beco also serves hard-to-find Brazilian beer and the signature Brazilian Caipirinha.
