NYC restaurant Recommendations

Going to NYC soon and staying at the Marriott in Times Square. I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations for any restaurants around the area or around NYC. Looking to stay away from the typical chains and get some good food. I definitely want to stop by Little Italy.

Le Bernardin is just a couple blocks away from that Marriott, best meal I've ever had. Bring money. I recommend going for lunch, it's about half the price for basically the same meal.

Nothing I recommend will be stuffy.
JG melon is an absolute must.
Ferrara - get the cannoli in little Italy
Tio pepe - Mexican
Artichoke - great pizza joint when you're on the run.
Johnny's bar
Pig n whistle on 3rd
Little branch
Enjoy, NYC is my favorite vacation spot.

you realize there are thousands of restaurants...in midtown alone. little italy is a start, but they are all the same. basically just walk up to one and enjoy. Don Nico is one of my favorites because it's got a very nice patio out back and it's not overly expensive at all.
but give us a few other types of food you want so we can specify.
and whoever posted artichoke earlier

Ray's pizza for a thin crust, super greasy slice of heaven

Little Italy is pretty much nonexistent now. Chinatown has almost completely encroached upon them. Not really worth going down there if that's the only thing you're looking to check out.
If you're a craft beer nerd definitely hit up Rattle N Hum. Great beer selection in midtown east and they're bar food is pretty decent too. Also my favorite bars in the city are Blind Tiger and Valhalla .. just to throw out a couple of bar recs.
For eating near your hotel I'd rec Islands Burgers and Shakes for a quick lunch spot. Good burgers and sandwiches. Also further up 9th ave is Kashkaval which is a cool little spot for dinner.
Other than that man there's thousands of places to eat, I would get it down to an area of the city and type of cuisine then get onto Yelp and see which places have good reviews.
If you're in Brooklyn definitely check out Fette Sau. Best bbq in NYC.

Po in the West Village.

New York has so much to offer, no one can do everything, so you have to decide.. Do you want to do what New York does best or do you want what you like, in New York.. I always check out New York Magazine prior to going out.. You can check the restaurant reviews by neighborhood and make informed decisions.. Good luck.. Enjoy.. Have a blast.

Patzeria for a quick lunch. It's on 46th between Broadway and 8th I believe, right next to the church of scientology. Try a few slices but the grandma's slice is outstanding.
You're welcome.
