Book Giveaway: Mike Colameco's Food Lover's Guide to NYC
There's a street cart that sells these yummy fried dumplings in Elmhurst, Queens. They are cheap and very satisfying. He even sells his version frozen if you want to cook them at home. They are so much better than the chinese supermarket brands of frozen dumpling.

My best friend owes me a 4-star lunch. Suggestions?
I just took my good friend out for their birthday to 11 Madison for dinner and it was phenomenal! We had the five course winter tasting menu. The only thing is that they are serving their economy menu of a 2 course prix fixe for $28. If my friend was taking me out BIG style I would suggest looking into the following restaurants to see if lunch is served: Daniel, Per Se, Masa and Cafe Boulud. I did the lunch at Ko- it was great, but I think I would prefer a seat to a stool after close to 3-4 hours of eating and drinking.

Roasted suckling baby pig from a chinese restaurant. The meat was still warm and the skin was crispy. I would dipped the skin with honey. It was delicious!
Grocery Ninja: Sticky, Caramelly, Stroopwafels
The Chelsea Market Basket store sells the Tregroes waffle brand from UK. They had samples of the new caramel waffle covered with mint dark chocolate flavor. If you love dark chocolate, mint and stroopwafels, you'll definitely love this. They also sell the regular caramel waffel and milk chocolate covered ones.
They were having a 20% off sale on the cookie which were originally priced at $5 a box. I bought a few for myself and some for friends. I plan to have mine over a cup of peppermint tea.

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.
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!

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.
