Guidebook for New York
Food Scene
Good New York style pizza. The restaurant also serves up several nice Italian dishes. This is my late-night favorite, as they serve pizza by the slice until midnight (1am on Fri & Sat)!

The flavors here are amazing, my favorite Indian food in the city. The business fluctuates wildly (some nights it's full, some nights quiet as a crypt); definitely not a "scene", just good food.

Good diner food any time of day or night. I've definitely finished a few nights of excessive revelry by eating to excess right here.

It's consistent. It's there when you need a cup of over-roasted caffeinated goodness.

Fresh ingredients, rustic atmosphere, good wine, and great food that seems at least partly based on northern Italian cuisine. A nice walk from the place.

Best brunch around! Try the pumpkin waffles or the Fat and Fluffy French Toast. You will wait for ~45 minutes to get a seat after you arrive, so plan on walking into the park for a bit while you wait.
