I’ll approach this by area. *BURGERS* MIDTOWN: Burger Joint in the lobby of the Parker Meridien – enter on W56 or 57 Streets btwn 6th & 7th Avenues. Or, Burger Heaven, 536 Madison Ave at 54(?) Street. Both really good...

Since there’s two relatively new places in Manhattan serving arepas, it seems time for a direct comparison. This inspiration came from an expert CHer while we dined at Caracas Arepa Bar (E 7th St and 1st Ave) in the East...

The only two places you can think of are recent “gentrified transplant” places? Give us a break-even Sylvia’s has both these places beat. My (very partial) list: Africa Restaurant(Senegalese) -116th between 8th &...

walk down to pars 26th st btwn 7th and 8th ave, newish iranian place with great apps and fresh baked bread. or go east to koreatown. i moved up to harlem from the east village about a year ago, and relate to the initial...

: Giordano’s (stuffed deep-dish pizza) 135 E. Lake (in Prudential Plaza) (312) 616-1200 www.giordanos.com Heaven on Seven (Cajun, breakfast and lunch only) 111 N. Wabash, 7th Floor 312-263-6443 www.heavenonseven.com/wabash.html...

with Lemon, I believe. Too bad it’s not the greatest gin. There’s also a martini called 7th Heaven which uses gin, grapefruit juice, marischino liquer, and mint. Interesting party BTW, b/c I was invited to a 7/7 party...

san baggio 7th st upland guys from long island also has great thin crust pizza and sicilian pizza

service lately, but the food is so good, I forgive them. Oh – how could I forget? Heaven on Seven, in the Garland Building (111 N. Wabash) is a Chicago institution – a former 7th floor coffee shop that started serving...

., bet. 6th & 7th Avs. Enjoy your visit to NYC and Bon Appetit! Link: http://www.becconyc.com

, that location doesn’t matter that much. Look for places all over the city. Lots of good small bistrots in the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, etc. Read yourself through other threads to get an idea on where to go. The...

Cafe Heidelberg, I believe, one of the only remaining German restaurants in Yorkville (if it’s still there). Generally, though, there’s been a migration of German places downtown: there’s Silver Swan on E. 19th,...

what they are trying to do with the different flavors, but again every one I’ve had seems to always fall short. I guess I’m more of an old fashioned doughnut person and to me the best I’ve had so far in this town...

have always found a little dissappointing, but maybe that’s because I prefer Tejano to California style burritos. My favorite in the city is the steak burrito at El Rey del Sol (I think is the name)—lower level on...

We enjoyed Zorba’s at 924 7th St. NW, just north of the railroad tracks. My husband likes John Hardy’s BBQ but I think Roscoes on the way toward Olmstead Community Hospital has won some BBQ competitions. I read...

Admittedly, I’m biased because this place is so close to home (7th & Folsom) but i went last night for maybe the 4th or 5th time, and I am finally compelled to write. 1st course was Plamuk Yang, calamari in tamarind...
