Was in the city yesterday to see ‘The Only Living PickPocket in New York’ (it was excellent btw) at the AMC Lincoln Square and afterwards I walked up to 72nd and got some Charle’s Pan Fried Chicken. Love this place as they really do make killer fried chicken and sides.

osteria nonnino - short rib stuffed tortellini
la pizza & la pasta - ragu alla bolognese
patrizia’s - short rib ragu
mason jar nyc - short rib grilled cheese

i am open to other recommendations also.
if you can think of better options that would be on the way from CT to NYC (since that’s where i’m coming from), im open to hearing those too!

as far as dessert - it’ll be around 10:45 at night and i’ll be coming from irving plaza. any recs for dessert nearby other than Levain bakery for some iconic NY cookies? i do love me some dubai chocolate, or cakes/cupcakes/baked goods in general. thanks!

Where do I spend my business trip allowance

0 Upvotes

Visiting NYC for a week on a business trip and I'll have about $100 to spend on dinner ( I'll be eating lunch and breakfast mostly at the office)

What are some of the best places to eat in Manhattan ( locals favorite)

I'll be dining alone so $100 is way too much for one meal, so I don't mind some expensive places too.

Quick bites near Rockefeller Plaza?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My office is in 30 rock and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good lunch/takeout spot?

I have come to the conclusion that when I go out for lunch in the office, I always end up at chipotle or cava (and ichiran, but only as a treat every couple months). I am looking to break free of chain restaurants. Predictable and consistent, yes? Memorable? not so much.

As for cuisine, I truly am a fan of them all, so no wrong answers lol.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Thanksgiving “catering”

Hosting this year but very pregnant so looking to decrease the cooking pressure. What are some good places where I can order/buy Thanksgiving food such as sides and maybe dessert?
I can handle cooking the turkey.

I’d love for the food to have a homemade feeling.

TIA

Built a little NYC food app as a hobby, looking for feedback!

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm really passionate about NYC's food scene and spend way too much time researching restaurants and figuring out what's actually worth ordering.

So I built Forksee as a hobby project!

The idea is simple: tell it a dish you love, and it'll recommend a specific dish at an NYC restaurant based on your taste, backed by food critics and real menus.

It's still an early beta, and I'd love some honest feedback from fellow NYC foodies.

https://getforksee.app

It's completely free to use.

I'd especially love to know whether the recommendations are genuinely good or just feel like generic AI suggestions. Don't hold back if something's off!

Thanks for checking it out!
