NYC Restaurants (Lunch and Dinner)

Posted by PrincessOrchid, May 14, 2008 at 8:24 AM

I'm off on Friday to NYC for a week to meet up with a friend who's over there for a month. As I've only got seven days, I want to get in as much good eating as I can - I'll be shopping and lunching by myself most days (as she's working), but we'll be going out for dinner and drinks together in the evenings. So basically I'm looking for good: noodle bars, sushi, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese (especially pho), matzoh ball soup and good Jewish cooking, proepr Merican food, fried chicken, seafood, French, Italian - ANYTHING. Any suggestions?

Comfort Foods?

Chicken wings - I usually make them with honey and wholegrain mustard and sherry, but really chicken wings in any form will do! Also southern fried chicken. Oh, and a HUGE fry up - I usually don't eat everything on my plate, but just the sight of the sausages, square sausage, bacon, egg, tatty scone, black pudding, fruit pudding...makes everythign better.

My mum makes chinese stir-fried springcake with chinese greens, oriental mushrooms, chicken and spring cake which is the ultimate in comfort food for me. Oh, and her messy cabbage (cabbage, rice noodles and dried scallops) - mmm!

Or tempura udon. Or just any large bowl of steaming hot noodles in soup... *drool*

Pizza...namely Bagel Bites. Macaroni and cheese...all that bad-for-you stuff. And mostly, I just really want to bite into a big juicy burger.

My mom's poached eggs. I've tried to make them and I fail. You have to have a piece of lightly buttered toast to tear up into little chunks and put it in the mashed up salted eggs. Yum. Now I want that for dinner.

Comfort Foods?

Comfort foods, let's see:

Mac and cheese, grilled cheese, baked ziti, pasta with meat sauce (I pay for that later though) or with butter/garlic/pecc romano, mashed potatoes, white pizza with spinach/broccoli/garlic/ricotta cheese, chili, pb&j, quesadillas, brownies, choc chip/sugar cookies, ice cream, cream cheese and bagels/thomas english muffin. I think I'd eat ANYTHING with cream cheese-i LOVE that stuff.

There isn't anything different for me re: eating when no ones looking. My stomach (and taste buds) are quite finicky so there are only certain things I can/want to eat.

To be honest, anything with tomato sauce that can be accompanied by macaroni. And I may only get two or three forkfuls down (depending on the trauma that induced this need for comfort food) but it will do a world of good.
