I would agree with this, especially if you are traveling with kids and don't plan ahead. In the touristy areas almost everything is packed and it is hard to get into places. We have even had reservations at various "yummy" places that we saw good reviews for online, but when we showed up there was a 1 hour+ wait.

This is ridiculous. There are thousands of yummy places to eat in nyc. Go outside of the tourist areas and you’ll find dozens of gems.

Op here. Yes trying to get help with what the gems are!

But in order to do that you need to give us more to work with - general location, cuisine preferences, budget, willingness to travel around the city, etc.

Based on OP’s use of the word “yummy”, I doubt she has a very sophisticated palate. Just stick to the Times Square Applebee’s, OP.

Veselka in East Village is a nyc institution, and if you hate it, it’s cheap so no big deal.

Well I do have a good palate, thus wanting good restaurants. I’m able to move around city so village/soho, Chelsea and upper east or west. Any cuisine.

Jesus Christ, just go to Eater, Infatuation, Yelp, etc. There are extensive lists of great restaurants in every neighborhood, every cuisine. Do your own work!

So many good places downtown—Cookshop, Vic’s, Buvette, Russ & Daughters cafe, Haizea, Peasant. Those are all midrange and casual. Also love all the options at Chelsea Market, especially the sushi bar. Have fun, OP.

Do some of the food halls. Those are fun with kids. Something for everyone.

OK what is the point of this. If you don’t have anything to add then don’t post. The whole point of DCUM is to get ideas from people. Of course the OP could do research but he or she is trying to narrow things down that’s the entire point. Why do you need to be an ass?

I didn't write that post, but I agree with that sentiment. New York City is bigger than multiple states put together, and has every cuisine of the world. OP didn't narrow down her request, and there are many many compilations of best restaurant/best cheap restaurant/best trendy restaurant/best restaurant in Brooklyn etc. that she can look at, and previous posters linked to them. Otherwise it's just throwing out random ideas blindly.

Fish Cheeks for the best Thai food. Reservations may be hard to come by though.

Not a food truck kind of person, but discovered this place during the covid restaurant closures. Have to be in NYC a lot and keep going back.

Kofta platter is my favorite.

Or try the Dosa truck near NYU. Super yum.

I used to always go to Taim for a quick delicious fresh made falafel lunch when I went to NYC, but now they've opened in DC too.

Love Taim!

Tons of good Korean restaurants in Korean town along 32nd street.

Peter Luger’s can’t be too bad, it’s nearly impossible to get a decent reservation there.
I read that NYT review many years ago. Sounded like there was more to the story and that the reviewer was disgruntled.
