four day weeken-


Peter Luger's and Le Coucou is on the list for diners. Where else?


Pizza in Manhatten I was thiking either Bleeker St. Pizza or Lombardi's

Is Fuku or Fuko+ worth a lunch?

What about Noodle Bar?

Cocktails - Death and Company, Employees Only, and PDT. Really like a drink at Bemmelmens' Bar in the Carlysle but it is a bit pricey (even by NYC standards).

Like a place called Earl's Beer and Cheese for a snack if up my MOMA.

Havent been to fuku, but really like Momofuku. Also Gramercy Tavern, Osteria Morini, The Dutch, Balthazar, christ that town has too many places to list.

It's been far too long since I have been. Kids will do that to you.

I find peter luger's to be extremely overrated. Bleecker st Pizza is my favorite spot for a slice. Lombardi's doesn't do slices (they're a sit down restaurant), and the pizza is neopolitan style, which is a bit different than places like Bleecker st. IIRC, lugers and lombardis are a few blocks from each other; neither are in Manhattan btw.

My favorite sit-down italian place (that also has amazing pizza) is rubirosa in Nolita.

Del Frisco's is my favorite steakhouse in new york. But it's a chain, and i know some people would prefer a steakhouse that is unique to the city.

FYI, luger's only has one cut- a porterhouse. Their steaksauce is really good, but i prefer a filet or ribeye, so I don't bother with lugers. If you like a porterhouse, give luger's a try.

if you're looking for a great meal, go to Del Friscos (or one of the other highly rated NYC steakhouses). If you are looking for a bucket list type experience, go to Lugers.

If you pass by a Crumbs Bakery, you must get a cupcake.

Wolfgangs is another great option for steaks, I believe it was opened by a former maitre'd at Lugars and I think uses the same meat supplier. Also, I think all the Crumbs locations have closed.

Strip house or quality meats for steak
Supper for Italian
Han dynasty for chinese
Cherchi medi or minetta tavern for burger
Pearly oyster bar for lobster rolls/oysters
Joes (bleeker street) for pizza... bleeker street is great too btw, they are a block away from each other so get a slice at one and then try the other

"Head to Magnolia and munch on some cupcakes"


Also, a few years back my wife and I saw a guy on beat Bobby flay that did donuts and this guy owned a place in NYC called the Donut Plant. We went and it's still the best donut we've ever had. It's all cake donuts and they have other stuff.

Banana Pudding at Magnolia.

I walked into Bleeker Street one time for a slice and a guy was behind the counter putting on his pants. Another guy said "We're not open"
I walked out.

I really like Joe's on Carmine for a slice.

Bleecker St is great, but if you're in that area late-night, it is even better then. The West Village has a ton of great pizza options (Spunto, John's, Joe's, etc.).
