be prepared to wait 3 hours to get seated at spotted pig. if you want to go for dinner, plan to get there around 6 or 630 and then go grab drinks nearby for a few hours while you wait. they'll call when your table is ready and will give you next available table when you arrive.

artichoke for pizza by the highline on 10th ave

any of the momofuku restaurants

the smith (any of the locations) is always a good atmosphere

public for something more upscale

katz is expensive but tourists generally love it (and the pastrami is delicious)

I'm actually going to NY on May 12. Never done Shake Shack because the line is usually so long.. I read though, that one is opening in Penn Station.

Just got back from NY. Was seated immediately at Spotted Pig. Did Gramercy Tavern and had a Prix Fixe lunch that featured a Duck Breast and Sausage plate with a ragut that was amazing.
Also went to Tao Downtown, which was also really good. My favorite was the lobster egg rolls.
Checked out Death Ave at 315 10 Ave which is a Greek inspired tavern. Great atmosphere, drinks and food.
Went to the Union Square Farmer's Market on Saturday and picked up some fresh picked Honeycrisp apples. If you haven't had a locally grown Honeycrisp, you really haven't eaten an apple. Also had some of my favorite cheeses and breads from Hawthorne Valley and pickled string beans from Beth's, and stopped by and saw the good folks at Berkshire Berries. I love the Farmer's Market and the people there. One of my favorite things to do in the city.
Went by Eataly and had my favorite, Straiccino melted between thin pizza crust slices, eggplant pizza and sausage and peppers. Had a plate of Calzoncini, which is mini calzone, stuffed with spinach and kale and wrapped with prosciutto. Delizioso.
