The Brown Cafe on the LES. They have the best mac & cheese in the city!

From Talk

Family Dinner @ Prune, Bar Stuzzichini, Landmarc or ?

Within that list, definitely Landmarc. Food is good and crowd-pleasing and the atmosphere is suitably boisterous!

best donut/doughnuts in nyc?

@Pooch-- you can buy DP donuts at Dean and Deluca as well. If you're going to be at Javits, I'd recommend going to the D&D on 8th and 40th/41st (in the NYTimes building); they won't be as fresh-from-the-oven as they are at the Plant, but they'll be a good enough substitute on a Monday!

The nannerpus commercial is my favorite commercial of all time.

Bakeries in Manhattan without all the hype!

Definitely Billy's. Their stuff is delicious and their atmosphere is not at all commercialized. I also like Amy's Bread for good cupcakes!

Desserts Near Rockefeller Center

Kyotofu on 9th and 48th-- it's a bit of a walk, but it's definitely worth it.

Everyone knows the way to make Marshmallow Peep foam is to microwave a peep until it explodes and covers the microwave with peep guts (a.k.a. peep foam). Mmmm, the smell of burnt sugar....

What childhood food do you wish they still made?

They definitely still make both Necco wafers and Charleston Chews. But the best discontinued foods from my childhood are: 1) Crystal Pepsi, and 2) Buzz Blasts-- a cereal released in honor of Toy Story. It tasted like frosting. I could eat almost an entire box at a time...

What childhood food do you wish they still made?

Oh, man, I thought I had blocked out my Gatorade Gum cravings!

What childhood food do you wish they still made?

I miss bbq munchos, planters cheeseballs (there is another brand available now in a large container that are good but...) and morton raspberry filled powdered donuts. Oh, those were the days.

I really enjoy mamoun's falafel by Washington Square Park. It is so flavorful and the perfect amount of food.

I've lived in Macedonia, Sierra Leone and now the Netherlands. None of them do good mexican food ! I would love to visit New York City to eat proper mexican, but also bagels and bahn mi.

Never been to NYC but subscribe to Time Out New York and New York magazine mainly to learn about living there ESPECIALLY the food! It seems to me the vendors at the park in Red Hook would be the first place I'd hit.

I love Laut downtown. Great food and great prices. Plus everyone there is very nice, even when our one friend had a few too many Sake bombs they couldn't have been more welcoming.

I don't know any off the radar places as I only visit NYC 2-3 times per year, but I love Penelope Cafe for breakfast. Great food, and I really enjoyed eating breakfast at the bar.

* Banh mi at Baoguette, Murray Hill
* Chinese sausage at Kuma Inn, LES
* Bacon wrapped prunes (devils on horseback) at Freeman's, LES
* Red chicken curry at Rice, Murray Hill
* Soft pretzels at Zum Schneider, EV
* Brussels sprouts at Side Car (PJ Clarkes), Midtown

harriet's kitchen, which seems to have fallen off the radar since shake shack moved in on the uws burger scene.

Utopia Bagels in Queens- their bialys are SO much better than Kossar's.

Chao Thai in East Elmhurst for NYC's best duck larb. (Sripraphai is great, but in no way "off the beathen path", as anyone who has waited for a table there Thursday night - Sunday night knows...) And Güllüoğlu for the city's best baklava - used to require a schlep out to Coney Island Ave, but now conveniently at 52nd & 2nd. Finally, Petty Soo Chow on Anderson Ave in Cliffside Park for XLB soup dumplings!

Lan in the East Village on 3rd Ave. They actually just closed for a "remodel"... tears.

I would love to try any of the stands in the Golden Mall in Flushing. One of my favorite places is Otafuku in the East Village...delicious Japanese street food in NY!

Off the radar, eh? I'd have to throw in Leo's Bagels in Hanover Square in the Financial District. Big Booty Bread Co. on 23rd Street between 7th & 8th Aves. for the Tres Leches cake and the Red Velvet cupcakes. The Lobels sandwich cart (with their own butcher!) at Yankee Stadium for the Prime Beef sandwich on an onion roll. Lexington Candy Shop on the corner of Lex. and 83rd Street for a chocolate egg cream done right. Camine's Italian Seafood Restaurant on Beekman Street near the old Fulton Fish Market. 106 years old and still cranking out great red sauce (lasagna, lobster fra diavolo, zuppa di pesce, etc...)
