In 1974 my then boss took me to a meeting in New Orleans; at dinner i saw a Sommelier for the first time in my life, the next AM we went to Brennan's for breakfast & he ordered a Riesling to go with our eggs & pancakes
nothing has ever matched that first time of wine with breakfast

With Serious Eats and other Bloggers & Twitters is there anything off the radar anymore?
However lunch of fresh roasted turkey or brisket at the Bono Deli on 28th St might qualify
And Sal & Carmines on the UWS is not off the radar but also not a hot spot

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.

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!

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...)
