New York Recommendations

For Swiss food products, check out Zuri Coffee on Broadway. They carry chocolate like Ragusa and Aromat and Maggi seasoning.

Walk along Roosevelt Ave in Queens between 74st-103rd from 5am-8am to find many vendors selling Mexican-style tamales wrapped in corn husk. They sell to those going to work, making it a great spot to grab a quick and delicious breakfast.

Avant Garden in the East Village offers a non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner experience. It's worth going for the unique take on the holiday meal.

Family Meal at Blue Hill is a great choice for a romantic, upscale dinner in NYC. It's a bit more casual than some of the other options, but still feels elevated. At $145 per person, excluding drinks, you really can't beat the value considering how much food they throw at you. My personal favorite is the simple yet perfect tomato dish they brought out.

Some of the best pizza I ever had period. They also have Chicago dogs and Italian beefs.

They sell pastries by the lb and I believe you can order it to be delivered. It's a convenient option for sending treats to a friend in need, especially with the ability to order online.

Uptown Veg in Harlem has two locations and serves vegetarian wings. They have 2 locations, and their wings are a favorite, with options for curry and BBQ.

Padoca on the Upper East Side makes really good frosted sugar cookies. It's a great option if you're looking to wander around the neighborhood and check out Halloween decorations, as it's located in an area that's likely to have a lot of those up.

Get a free rainbow bagel with birthday cake cream cheese on your birthday with ID. Located in New York, Liberty Bagels offers a unique freebie that's perfect for a birthday celebration.

Someone recommends La Cabaña Salvadorena for lunch or brunch near Met Cloisters, saying 'thank me later.' It's located on the same street as Inwood Farm, which is on 218th street, so it's a good option if you're looking for a place with good food in the Inwood neighborhood.

Korean fried chicken is the move, it's approachable for basically anyone and still feels like a proper nyc experience. Most places do it casual enough for a quick business meal too.

Restaurants & CafésKtown 1mo ago •Marisol I

For dinner, consider a big dim sum place or a Korean BBQ spot in Ktown. Places like Jinjuu in Ktown can handle large groups and offer set menus that fit the budget. They're used to catering to big groups, so it's best to call ahead for reservations.

For Italian, try Emilio's Ballato. It's located on the Nolita/Soho border, which is a great location. It's a walk-in only restaurant, so you don't need to worry about reservations.

Marea is not the average Italian restaurant, but it's very good. It's a few minutes' walk from Columbus Circle, making it a convenient option for those in the area.
