Best of New York Empanadas
There's a pizza place on the UWS called Freddie and Peppers (around 76th and Amsterdam) that makes decent Chilean empanadas - much larger than Argentinian ones, with meat and raisins.
There are also a million street carts in west Harlem, Washington Heights and the Bronx with Dominican-style empanadas (more often called pastelitos, but its the same idea). Those are great, if you don't mind that they're deep fried instead of baked.
Where can I find the best Black & White Cookies in New York?
Nussbaum and Wu, on 113th and Broadway, makes an excellent black and white - light and airy, with a slight almond flavor. They also have black and browns (and other variations on the theme) but I prefer the original.
Zabars, on 81st and Broadway, also makes a great cookie if you can get it fresh, although the plastic wrapped ones in the bakery are decent too.

@patrickamory - there are some great supermarkets in chinatown in Manhattan that, while they can't compare in size to this, have great selections of chinese groceries including fish, meats, produce, etc. There's a big, newly-renovated place with a great selection on the corner of Elizabeth and Hester streets.
