Not sure if my memory is correct, but I remember a list of NYC restaurants that Auduchamp1 (or another NYC poster) put on a thread. I remember the list being long and very comprehensive. I've done some searches but can't find it. So if anyone remembers that, I would appreciate the link. We are going to be in NYC all next week so just wanted to look the list over. We usually just pick places as we wander around but I always appreciate recommendations.

Here is a list I have posted a few times before and are mainly East Village

Indian-Brick Lane-Banjara, Mitali, Brick Lane

Inexpensive Italian- La Marca (3rd Ave. and 22 Street, only opened noon-10 PM, Mon-Fri) Great Value

Nicky's Vietnamese Sandwiches (limited seating)

Burgers-Black Iron ( also have wonderful onion rings and veggie fries), Paul’s (local divey spot), Corner Bistro (on everyone’s list, zoo on weekends)

Pork sandwiches-Porchetta (that is all they offer)

Medium priced Italian- Cacio e Pepe, Gnocco, Supper (cash only), Luzzos (Wood burning pizza oven), Inoteca, Perbeco, La Lavanga, Le Zie

Expensive Italian- I Coppi (For dinner But great brunch)

Inexpensive Eastern European- Veselka. Ukranina National

French Bistro- Casimir, Flea market (for atmosphere)

Greek-Pylos (little more expensive)

Tapas- Tia Pol, Bar Carrera, Café Mono (more expensive)

Bagels- Ess-a-Bagel

Brunches-Five Points, Blue Ribbon Bakery, City Bakery (18th off 5th), Cafecito (Ave C), Clinton Street Bakery (our favorite but must go during the week, weekend is a zoo)

Pizza-Motorino first and foremost, Lombardi's, Totonno's Pizza Fresca.

Pizza by the slice-Artichoke (14th Between First and Second) Bizarre service with a line because the pizza is good and the management is goofy

Expensive-Gotham, Toqqueville

Hi paula, I just wanted to wish you a fabulous time in NYC! My laptop crashed but my son-in-law loaned me one of his so I can now be on line. Yeah! Thanks for your good thoughts to me and I send them back to you!

To complement the good list above, here is a thread with a lot of info on dining in NYC, including tips and long descriptions on Chinese restaurants in Flushing:

eskscrunchy-Thanks for the link to the other thread. I had already looked through that one. I appreciate the info on the chinese food in Flushing but I don't think we will be heading that way this trip.
