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.

Gelato shops tend to offer the same, usual flavors, so if you're craving something different then look no further. Sampling flavors is allowed, but you are limited to two. The space is very open, and yes, it does feel like a "laboratory."

Di Fara's pizza is a gamechanger. They prepare the freshest ingredients and create a masterpiece of Italian art. There is usually a line out the door because the parlor is so popular. The pizza comes out piping hot so be careful before taking that first bite! Most people forget because it looks so delectable coming out of the oven.

Soft-serve ice cream is a classic American treat, carried mostly by large chains. The independently-owned Big Gay Ice Cream does well in reinventing it with its quirky names and funky toppings, like olive oil, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and wasabi pea dust.
