New York City Restaurants
____________________________________________
New York has many, many
restaurants per square mile, representing every ethnicity on the
globe (and a few unusual fusions -- Cuban-Chinese food, for
example). Many of them are outstanding. While you can find a slew of
ethnic eateries in most neighborhoods, some neighborhoods seem to
draw particular types of restaurants. Many of the best Cuban-Chinese
places are...
... along Broadway on the Upper West
Side. A gaggle of ridiculously cheap Indian restaurants, meanwhile,
cluster around East 6th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Most
types of Asian food are ubiquitous -- especially Chinese and
Japanese -- though the best Korean restaurants are generally found
in the East 30s. The East Village is the place to go for Eastern
European cuisine. And so on. At fine restaurants, it's often
possible to enjoy the same divine cuisine at lunch as at dinnertime
-- for much less money. At the hot spots you've heard or read about,
it's advisable to make dinner reservations one or two months in
advance, particularly for weekend nights.
Budget travelers will not have to
starve: Opportunities for good eating at reasonable prices are also
abundant. Nearly every street in Manhattan seems to have either a
Greek diner or a hole-in-the-wall pizza joint (almost all of them
with "Ray's" in the name), and many street corners are
presided over by pushcart vendors selling hot dogs, potato knishes,
pretzels or (in winter) hot chestnuts.
Dining times are generally 6-10 am
for breakfast, 11 am-2 pm for lunch, 5-10 pm for dinner.
