Someone has already recommended the Carnegie Deli. Be advised that it does not take credit cards, and one can easily spend a hundred dollars for three (portions are huge, though, and one can spend less). The Stage is also famous, practically next door,and takes credit cards...On West 51st Street, off of 7th, there is a block of French bistros that is charming, and provides reasonably priced food in a casual atmosphere....If you are a rock fan, and will get a big kick out of memorabilia, the Hard Rock Cafe is fun. Be advised that it is often busy, and sometimes requires a terrible wait...The cafeteria of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a wonderful place to have a (moderately expensive) lunch...The American Festival Cafe, at Rockefeller Center, looks out on the skating rink, which becomes an outdoor cafe in warm weather. One may have a wait, but prices are reasonable...Chinatown is still the best place to go for the real deal, although there are good Chinese restaurants all over the place. It is especially good for dim sum, dumplings served off of steamer carts for lunch. The best bet is to look for a place where many locals eat. However, there is always a danger of limited English proficiency and no credit cards... |
