first trip there for both of us. I know all of the must see things to do and see, but I need some opinions on the best places to eat. I should be there for four or five days.
I'm thinking a famous eatery or two, a real nice place, a good pizza joint, and a deli.
Staying on TimesSquare. Thanks in advance.

You don't have enough time to get reservations at a nice place..
And don't spend more than 2 minutes in time square

Time Square is going to be a bitch to get out of. Most touristy things are within walking distance of Time Square, as is Central Park (which is good for you because getting a cab in Time Square is nearly impossible).
Go to Lombardi's Pizzeria while you're there. You can take the Subway up to just a few blocks from it. Very very good.

Also, Time Square pretty much has a 5:1 civilian to cop ratio. You'll be shocked at the number of cops they stick in that small area. Especially on weekends, so you'll feel and be very safe in that area (which is another plus for staying in Tiem Square).

Take the Staten Island ferry instead of a tour, It used to be only a couple of bucks. There is a great steak house across the street from the Garden, GREAT Steak ! Forgot the name, maybe Peter Lugers? Not sure. Go to the ticket exchange in Times Square for tickets to a play, always good seats.

famous eatery - Halal cart at 53rd and 6th, Lombardi's
fine dining/steak - Strip House, Keen's
pizza - Keste Pizza and Wine, Grimaldi's
deli - 2nd Ave Deli, Russ and Daughter's, Kossar's Bialys
burger - Lucky's Famous, The Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien Hotel (it's hidden away.. to the left when you walk through the lobby)
i'd also recommend Ed's Lobster Bar (great food plus it's in a nice neighborhood to walk around, shop, drink, etc..), Land Thai Kitchen (best thai food outside of Queens)

If you make your way to the stadium during gameday, be sure to try some of the street vendors. We had some of the best kabobs there. Still not sure what kinda meat it was but damn it was good.
And hit the espn zone, coldest beer in the city.

5 napkin burger in hell's kitchen was damn good. we spent a good bit of time in Chelsea area and just ate at wherever we saw that looked decent, wasn't disappointed the whole time. Of course I don't go in expecting to be let down like a lot of people tend to do.

Cheap eats (lunch)--
Corner bistro (burgers, in the village)
Joe's pizza (bleeker and 6th ave) for slices
grey's papaya for hot dogs
street meat at the halal cart in midtown (someone already mentioned the address)
China Town
Pizza Joint--
agree with John's on Bleeker
Nice Place--
My favorite is Gramercy Tavern.
Reasonably priced fun dinner options ($20-25 meal)
Korean BBQ on 33rd street
Les Halles (steak frites)
Bar Pitti (Italian, outdoor seating)

And Manhattan (including the subways) is so ridiculously safe, it's almost mind-blowing.

Pizza - gnocco in the east village. All local. Took my gf and she loves it, not pricey at all, and intimate candle lit setting.
Deli - Katz. Pastrami on rye w mustard and a browns root beer. Nuff said. Yall can share on sandwich. It's plenty.
Something different, luke's lobster for lobster rolls, Russ and daughters for bagel and salmon.
Steak - keen's, though pricey, very worth the money.

In the mood for an old fashion NY steak dinner? Take the short cab ride from Time Square over to The Palms Steakhouse on 2nd Avenue in Midtown. Waiters are old grump asses who have been there 50 years and like everything else NY, its a bit expensive, but damn good!

Mrs. wales said to eat at Joe Allen's It is near time square. it is great for before or after plays. She said you can spot a star there too. I have never been to nyc. Wife goes yearly.
