Also, check out the food market in Grand Central station. It's awesome. For cheesecake try Juniors in the food hall at the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish1 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 This is just off Times Square, next door to the Novotel. Best steak I've had anywhere ever, and good "authentic" atmosphere. http://www.gallaghersnysteakhouse.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best steak I've had anywhere ever, and good "authentic" atmosphere. http://www.gallaghersnysteakhouse.com/ I could happily pitch up a one man tent in their dry-aging room and live out the rest of my days. There was a famous steakhouse in a strip club, it featured on one of Heston Blumenthal's programmes. Here it is, Striphouse New York, for great beef and titties. http://www.striphouse.com/ The Spotted Pig is a renowned NY restaurant too: http://thespottedpig.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might even run into Jay Z or Sean 'P Diddy/Puff Daddy' Combs Last time I was there we picked up a Zagats guide: http://www.amazon.co.uk/2010-York-Restaurants-Zagat-Survey/dp/1604781785/ref=pd_cp_b_0 Its rated by everyday people and not professional reviewers. Peter Lugers is the best place in the city for a steak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFKvsNixon Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 There was a a bar/restaurant called Virgil's on 44th street, just off Time Square, that sold southern style food. It was the only place we ate at twice when we went there. http://www.virgilsbbq.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boutiquechoc Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Tim Rayner's book - 'man who ate the world', is a great read for anyone who loves food! And from what i've read it is all you need for your NYC eating! According to Tim, NYC isn't that great for food but maybe you can get an idea of what is what from the book. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-Who-Ate-World-Perfect/dp/0755316355/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1272970145&sr=1-1-fkmr0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
