AdventureIsOutThere Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks for the input. I guess I need the opinions from those that actually enjoy coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Quick suggestions. Pretty much all in Manhattan Grimaldi's for Pizza - 20th and 6th Ave Peanut Butter and Company for Coffee/Sandwiches/Ice Cream/Treats - Sullivan Street (Generation Records is nearby on Thompson) Nyonya for Malaysian food (Cheap and highly rated) - Grand Street Congee Village on Allen Street for Traditional/American Chinese San Loco on 2nd Ave and St Marks for some gringo Tacos/Burritos Shake Shack has multiple locations La Torina Cafe around Washington Square Park has good coffee and deserts I honestly don't drink coffee so I can't really help you there. Theres so much in Brooklyn as well but some places require travel. If I get it together I'll post later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmanfredi Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 "Here it is, heart of NYC, Times Square. Named for the good times you have when you're in it. Most people when they come to New York, they go straight to the Empire State Building, thats pretty touristy. I come here. Great places to eat. We have Bubba Gump Shrimp, Red Lobster down there, you know. This is the heart of civilization, right here" AdventureIsOutThere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 You need to hit Chinatown for a meal. If you are a dumpling fanatic head to the Nice Green Bo on Bayard just off of Mott. I've eaten in every restaurant in Chinatown as I was on a mission to find the best dumpling and I promise you it will not disappoint. It looks like a hole in the wall, and I suppose it is, but they have a special guy making dumplings all day. The scallion pancakes are amazing and they have $3 beers. It is cheap, good and filling. As a bonus Chinatown is a must in my opinion for any trip to NYC. This is one place you won't find in pretty much any guide. Hit it up and let me know.

SpinningBlackCircleofDeath Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I enjoyed Carnegie Deli when I visited New York http://www.carnegiedeli.com/home.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paralyticstalks Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If you're in Jamaica Queens at any point, definitely check out a pizza place called Margherita. Fucking amazing. Good luck finding a table though. Most people stand there and eat it. I'd say it's totally worth it. Also, and this is kind of off topic, but next time I'm up I really want to check out a bar called Bua in the village... It used to be the original Sin-é as in Jeff Buckley Live At Sin-é so I gotta go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodle Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I enjoyed Carnegie Deli when I visited New York http://www.carnegiedeli.com/home.php holy fuck dude. that place is good, but $$$. i stayed at Park Central hotel for 30 nights for work. they paid for many meals of course. I recommend a stop or two at carnige. keep in mind it is a deli. coffee...i can't help though. not a huge coffee drinker. there are so many places around. manhattan probably has a few, but most likely upper (directional) sides. little italy was a place i frequented... had lots of places. it was getting cold when i left (wednesday), so dress warm!

GradedOnACurve Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Stay away from 99 cent pizza. Trust me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paralyticstalks Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Stay away from 99 cent pizza. Trust me... It's weird because I thought the same thing but it seriously is the best pizza I've ever had. Although here in Virginia Beach, the selection of good pizza is pretty limited.

GradedOnACurve Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 The Bagel Store! The best bagels in Brooklyn (the only reason I liked NY) You can't go wrong with a lot of bagel places. Thats the beauty. I recommend Ess-A-Bagel. Also I forgot to recommend Ferrara's in Little Italy. Go there for your coffee and desert after you go to Nyonya. Its also on Grand Street.

papermonsters Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I always eat at 2 bros pizza bc it's super fucking cheap. Then I blow my money at the nbc store and stuff. AdventureIsOutThere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforgenius Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 S'mac on 12th between 1st and 2nd for mindblowing Mac & Cheese. (Your also not terribly far from Mondo Kim's at that point.) The Roasting Plant in Greenwich Villiage for coffee - you need nothing else. (It's also between Bleecker Street Records & Rebel Rebel - both generally overpriced but you can find good deals if you hunt.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
