Quatorze Bis at 79th Street between First and Second Aves is an excellent bistro. Good food, pleasant atmosphere.

Lol, not a lot of cheap good places up here for you. You can go to Accademia Di Vino on 65th and third, John's Pizza on 64th between 1st and York...what type of food are you looking for?

Not sure what your price range is, I like Luca on 1st btw 88th and 89th. Cafe D'alsace on (I think) 88th and 2nd is great but much less expensive for lunch than for dinner. Theres also Beygolu thats Turkish, pretty good.

Try Szechuan Hunan Cottage. It's a teeeeeny place on 2nd and 75th. If there's a wait, they used to give you a glass of wine (not sure if that still happens). The owner's name was Jason and he used to prepare off-menu items for my X-FIL including, Thousand Year Eggs and a Flaming Fruit Platter. (Beautiful cut up fruit with a bowl of flaming liquid in the middle. You were expected to dip the fruit and eat it while it was still aflame.)

if you have some time, make sure to go to yura bakery on the southeast corner of 93rd and 3rd ave, and have an apricot walnut scone, or some sour cherry cobbler, or a slice of layer cake, or better yet, try all three.

Also - if you're uptown try Eli Zabar's Vinegar Factory. It has a restaurant in it and if that place serves anything like what's sold at the store, you're in for some good eats. (Not to mention a bounty of take-home supplies for foodie experiments at home!)

Great burgers at great prices at Finnegan's wake on 73rd and 1st.
You're right by BBQ's. Despite a curiosity you may have about how they are, refrain. The food is really cheap, but it's pretty awful.

You have to check out Pig Heaven. It's on 2nd ave and 80th st. It's got the best spare ribs i've ever eaten and believe me, I've tried to find one's that even compare. The rest of their food is amazing too.
