My family is coming this year to see the tree in NYC and want to eat there. I live work and go to NYC everyday however I don't know much about Manhattan.

Any suggestions good food around there that isn't an arm and a leg? I know its a bit early bit I like to have things planned out.

[BertramCooper]

Don't eat at Times Square.

Period.

 

[FlyinJ]

The McDonalds there has a PIANO.

Then you can go next door and get some M&Ms for dessert at the M&M store.

 

[FStop7]

Nearby?

PJ Carney's

 

[Christopher]

that guy fieri place obviously

The negative reviews make everyone want to at least try it lol

 

[okno]

What style of food are they looking for, what's their budget, and do they care at all about eating at the latest and greatest hype restaurant? I live a block away, so I can help you out a bit.

 

[backflip10019]

Try the Carnegie Deli. Bit of a walk from Times Square but it's a NYC staple.

 

[otapnam]

the halal guys cart that everyone talks about


(we just had it elsewhere instead of that one specific cart when we went last year)

 

[Marion Cobretti]

Don't eat at Times Square.

Period.

This.

Don't eat above 23rd street for that matter.

First off your rent must be insane! Secondly I mean we have money but I think they mostly want to experience somewhere nice in times square ...what's some suggestions you have?

 

[RedNalgene]

Beer Authority. Right next to Port Authority. 40+ taps, well curated menu, lots of windows.

 

[ShOcKwAvE]

Gyu-Kaku

This.

Don't eat above 23rd street for that matter.

Go ahead and add this person to your ignore list.

 

[triplestation]

Man its not really a family friendly spot

But Sammy's halal is good eatin

 

[Ovid]

Protip: Don't eat in Times Square. Go to Hell's Kitchen instead.

One more thing, don't stop in the middle of the sidewalk to take pictures. Thanks.

 

[phazedplasma]

10th ave and 45th
Go to Pony Bar
Get Braized Lamb sliders

Or go to 43rd and 10th
Pio Pio
amaze Peruvian food

 

[ajpw]

try dorcia if you can get a table

 

[radios shipping overview]

Check out 8th or 9th avenue for better, less touristy eats. For good Japanese, there's Sake Bar Hagi on 7th and 49th. I like Piccolo Cafe on 40th and 8th, too - delicious sandwiches.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

How's the Bubba Gump Shrimp Corp?

 

[richiek]

Don't. Just don't.

 

[LuchaShaq]

The Brooklyn diner.

SHIT IS CASH

Tony DiNapoli is good but pretty fucking pricey.

 

[LQX]

Take them to China Town and stroll through the various shops being small treats.

 

[baekshi]

there isnt any really good place at time square to eat, i live like 10 blocks away from it.

 

[snacknuts]

try dorcia if you can get a table

Impossible.

 

[Jindrax]

Don't go to TGIF. The food was good but horrible service

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

The nearest Sabrett hot dog cart. With onions and mustard. Two of them.

 

[Jag]

The nearest Sabrett hot dog cart. With onions and mustard. Two of them.

Was going to recommend the gyro cart around 47th and 6th if it's still there.

Also a knish with mustard inside. Portable heaven.

But yeah, don't eat around Times Square.

 

[DrFaustPhD]

Don't eat at Times Square.

Period.

Seriously, that place is a tourist trap. There's so much amazing food in New York and that isn't the place you should be looking.

 

[Owen]

Le Bernardin is a decent, inexpensive option for the midtown area.

 

[GK86]

Walk away from Times Square and eat elsewhere.

 

[Sectorseven]

try dorcia if you can get a table

Nobody goes there anymore.

 

[gryz]

Don't go to TGIF. The food was good but horrible service

weird I would have expected the best from a TGI Fridays...

[radios shipping overview]

GoGo Curry at 38th and 8th

Yesssssss

 

[The Albatross]

There is only one answer:

 

[pizza dog]

TGI Friday's prolly

There's an Applebee's right? Dat Neighborhood Flavor in the Big Apple.

 

[nullref]

Don Antonio does good Neapolitan pizza, and is only a few blocks away. Try the Montanara Starita and a glass of Gragnano.

Le Bernardin is a decent, inexpensive option for the midtown area.

 

[Mully]

99 CENTS FRESH PIZZA.

PIZZA FOR 99 CENTS. 50 CENTS EXTRA FOR TOPPINGS AND SEX.

FRESH.

 

[captscience]

Le Bernardin is a decent, inexpensive option for the midtown area.

They make the best fish sticks I've ever had!

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Go to Guy's American Kitchen & Bar, get the hamburger and report back to us your thoughts on donkey sauce.

 

[GashPrex]

This whole "don't eat there" thing doesn't work when you are in the area, need to eat and don't have time to run to another area of new york.

 

[livestOne]

Take em to BBQ's for the full times square experience, they'll seat you in one huge room that's as crowded as outside with windows over 42nd street, and you'll probably get served by a sassy puerto rican waitress from queens.

WHOA Their taste of Autumn dinner is expensive. I believe it is only $60 here in LA.

 

[braves01]

that guy fieri place obviously

This, only because it got such an awful review from the NYT.

 

[jon bones]

i wouldn't

try finding a nice place along 9th ave or take a cab someplace nice in any one of manhattan's many non-terrible neighborhoods

 

[Duderz]

Halal Guys at 53rd and 6th
Shake Shack at 44th and 8th
GoGo Curry at 38th and 8th

THIS. SO much delicious food for $6.

Fine. It's been a few years since I lived in NYC, but I'll help.

John's Pizza on 44th is a decent pizza place, but a cool place to eat since it's in an old church. Also won't break the bank.

Carmines serves big family style dishes that will make you regret how much you ordered.

Old Patsy's (not the pizza joint) is another old classic. IIRC they make a mean scarporella.

Otherwise, take a walk down Little Brazil on 46th b/t 5th and 6th that has some good local places just can't remember the names of the ones I liked.
