Serious Eats City Guide Premiere: New York (How to Leave Here Pleasantly Full)
Decent list but I have to disagree about the Chinese food in Manhattan. The Chinese food in Manhattan is pretty mediocre. If you want the good stuff you have to make a trek to Flushing.

Perfect Team Corporation! Although I've heard good things about Ocean Jewels, Jade Asian, and Gala Manor.

I haven't had dim sum in flushing in years, kathryn. Where do you go in Flushing? I had lunch at Chinatown Brasserie yesterday. Phenomenal, and a great bargain for either the dim sum lunch or a lunch with four dumplings from a list of 8 or 10, and one stir-fry dish ($14). I know people are going to hate me for saying this, but Chinatown Brasserie is my favorite Chinese restaurant in New York these days. My bro had great Peking duck there yesterday for lunch.

@Ed: when was the last time you tried dim sum in Flushing?

Rethinking the Hamburger I would add the Lamb Burger at L'Express on PAS.

I really think that the best steakhouse experience can be had at Porter House New York: great view, serious prime, dry-aged steak, excellent
sides, and truly wonderful desserts. And you can usually get in, something you can't do on a moment's notice at Peter Luger's, unless you go for lunch.
As far as dim sum is concerned, the last meal I had at Jin Fong was less than mediocre. Joe Ng of Chinatown Brasserie is by far the best dim sum chef in NY. @stuspivak: The fried chicken at Blue Ribbon Brasserie is what I love, and I don't even think they sell it to go. You could either get a couple of sandwiches to go from Blue Ribbon Bakery or go to an Amy's Bread for a sandwich and a cookie. Or you could get a banh mi from either Nicky's Vietnamese Sandwiches or even some Chinese spare ribs from Big Wong. You will need a wet nap or two if you get the Big Wong spareribs. They are sticky, messy, and so delicious.

Where would you recommend the best steak to be had? I'm there for 2 nights and am eager to have a decent steak!

Yeah, the regular bagels at Absolute are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. But so tasty!
