211 E 43rd St Ph (Bet. 2nd and 3rd Avenues)Like the debate over which Ray's is the original, the fight over who has New York City's best slice will likely never end. But a good chunk of people—from celebrities to tourists to dyed-in-the-wool New Yorkers—would bestow that honor on Famous Joe's. Those people are 100% correc...
7 Carmine Street (bet. Bleecker St. & 6th Ave.)An unlikely venue considering its Le Parker Meridien Hotel location (French Fries notwithstanding), but some of the best burgers in America can be found in this faux-tacky joint.

228 W 4th StreetFrom the proprietor of (and right next to) Spuyten Devil and (across from) Fette Sau, St. Anselm bills itself as a "haute snack bar" focused more heavily on wine than it's cocktail-loving older brother and offering a menu of what we'll call "Midwestern tapas" ...

55 3rd Avenue (bet. 10th and 11th)The Noodle Bar is easily what it says it is: aside from the few tables (slightly more during the warmer seasons, although one table is always precariously positioned near the cellar door), most of the seating is set around a long bar that wraps around the speedy noodle cooks. Off...

Madison Square Park (West 23rd Street & Madison Ave.)Japanese food in Murray Hill.
157 E 28th St (bet. Lexington & 3rd Aves.)It should probably be called Bagel Hole In The Wall, given its Manhattanesque slim margins, but the kitchen that stretches back from the front counter delivers some of Brooklyn's tastiest bagels, with a selection of cream cheese spreads you will marvel at.
