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

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.

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.
Book Giveaway: Mike Colameco's Food Lover's Guide to NYC
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!

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!
Book Giveaway: Mike Colameco's Food Lover's Guide to NYC
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...)

I don't know the name because the sign is in Chinese, but there's a dim-sum-ish place on 8th ave in Brooklyn Chinatown with $1 pan-fried pork bun that make my life better every time I eat them.
