New York, NY + Add a trip

The best lobster roll in the city. Plus delicious Caeser salad and a warm and intimate decor. And the odds of spotting co-owner and Personal Democracy Forum net-politics guru Andrew Rasiej are pretty high...

Half-price wine menu on Tuesday evenings.

My favorite burgers in NYC, and the deadliest shakes. Get the deep fried, cheese-stuffed portabello mushrooms stacked on a cheeseburger with fries and a valrhona chocolate shake

Go for the hot chocolate and pretzel croissants.

Genuinely very nice place SHNY Go with your girlfriend/wife

Very nice, small, quick Italian place. I had ravioli and a glass of house red wine and it was enough for me to want to go back whenever I'm nearby.

The folks on the street are endlessly entertaining. Just keep your eyes open.

Best Sushi ever, just glad I wasn't picking up the tab.

Great gyoza, and the sushi and sashimi are always good too (though not quite as adventurous as other places). The crispy shrimpy gets a thumbs up :)

Still my favourite steak house in NY, despite lots of effort by certain parties to persuade me otherwise. The beef is always great, but the lamb chops are the real stars of the menu.

I find it really hard to sleep here. The rooms are small and I think you could get much better for the same price elsewhere in Manhattan. Good location however.

Great bagels!

Best soup dumplings (xiaolongbo, showlum po, xio lum po, call them what you will) in NYC!

Joe the art of Coffee on the corner of Waverly and Gay Streets in Greenwich Village. Best coffee in NYC.

Empire Diner is a great diner as seen in, amongst other films, Men in Black II. A good sightseeing eatery alternative to Katz's Deli. The food was very nice and the interior is as classic as it gets. Also close to Chelsea Piers where you can play a little baseball in the batting cages if you live outside the USA and like ticking the boxes on 'things to have done before you die'. :-)

The Bentley was a great choice of hotel when I was in NYC on holiday with a friend. Its location meant we saw some areas we may not have visited and we never felt far from all the usual attractions. Rooms were well finished, clean and comfortable and staff very helpful and the price was good value. Amazing views at night from the rooftop bar.

JG Melon- best burger in the city. Ask for cottage fries on the side.

I can see how New Yorkers and Americans like this place as it has "something" of France... The thing is, you also see people at the bar "reading" the old copy of the Le Monde newspaper while they don't understand a word of French... The food was OK, the service impersonal but correct and the interior very "European". As a Belgian, I must admit, this was maybe not the place to go for me as I compare to much with "the real thing"....

I love walking across the Brooklyn Bridge when the sun goes down and the lights come on in New York... Great experience !

Ninja was lots of fun - the wait staff was excellent and the environment was very nice. The food was delicious and fun!

The Lower East Side Tenement Museum (108 Orchard Street)!

Probably one of the best brunches in the city. Always packed and the selection is fantastic. Far superior to a lot of places in meat-packing.

The pork buns are out of this world.

This is a great little cafe.

Make reservations if you've got more than 2 in your party.

Check out the Burger Joint behind the big red curtain next to the reception desk. Best burgers and shakes in NYC, easily. Cash only.

Best French toast I have ever found at any cafe, ever. Seriously. They soak it overnight! Amazing and well worth the jaunt.

Usually very good deals found on Expedia and Hotels.com. Great hotel but tiny rooms. Excellent location right next to Baruch College, super nice place if you can get the discounted price.

this city of skyscrapers is a nice place to visit............

Nam's back in the groove - fresh and zingy flavor again.

Really lovely little Greek/Mediterranean Restaurant with lovely fresh food and salads... a real rest from Pizza/Deli/Diner/Sushi!

Nice place to stay. Good rates.

The risotto is simply heavenly good.

Yummy! Pizza by the slice. Lots of Vegan options also.

A cozy place. My reading room.

Gruppo was by far the food highlight of my month in New York, it demanded a second visit. The best pizza I've had in my life, thin-crust or otherwise with very fresh ingredients and wonderful service. If you've got a party larger than 4, see if you can get the back table, it's a bit cramped but adds to the atmosphere. (we fit 10 in there :D)

Cafe Habana is a great Cuban spot for a quick bite. i recommend sweetcorn and an afternoon Mojito during the summer.

An Eco version of Nolita's Cafe Habana. Opens during the summer and it's a great open air space to enjoy Cuban food. Look out for the open air film shows, Burlesque reviews and other events.

Nice and cosy hotel, with individual rooms inspired by moviestars. A bit old, but clean hotel and superb staff.

Come here for Hookah in a variety of flavors ($20 a pipe) and moderately priced drinks (though the sizing runs small). The atmosphere is beautiful, especially at night, with an outdoor courtyard and a ceiling covered in grape wines and white lights. Indoors the decor mainly centers on the stained glass windows that give the whole place a sacred, secret feeling.

Very well priced, delicious Asian food in a cool, ambient setting with large wooden tables and cushioned benches. The pad thai here was delicious and not too oily. There are many vegetarian options.

Great lunch

Fantastic experience. The food is great if not too much to eat! and the memorabilia around the place will keep you busy beyond lunch. Recommended on a visit to The Big Apple.

I was honoured to stay in a suite at The Towers of this historical Hotel and can't praise the staff and facility enough. Just brilliant. Very highly recommended.

Great food, big portions.. enough to split the "for 2" between 3 girls, so it ends up being cheap. Highly Recommended!

My favourite NYC restaurant. Very informal and friendly atmosphere, great southern food and Hurricanes that pack a good punch. I especially recommend the 5 lb bucket of spicy crawfish that they serve during crawfish season (around November - June).

this is a great little french restaurant. it's bring your own wine (no corkage fee) and great, amazing food. best to make reservations since it is very small.

I JUST LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
