Where to eat

My family is coming in 2 weeks and trying to get a handle on where to eat. seems liek that is always a point of conflict so gonna try and prevent that this time. we are staying at the W Times square and arriving around 9pm- we need somewhere to eat in that area that late. any recomendations- not too pricey. also looking to try Dim sum in china town- ideas? and good italian food. do we need to go to little italy or are there other good places. also, any recommendations for good deli lunch? thanks for the advice!!

Where to eat

Please read the ';stickie'; post at the top of the board titled New York City Restaurant Hot List. In my very first post I give a lot of recommendations. Do any sound good to you? I will be glad to elaborate and offer more ideas after you have reviewed it.

Where to eat

Voy%26#39;s suggestion is a good one--that sticky has lots of great recs.

It would help to know how many will be in your party and roughly what your budget is.

In the Times Square area I like the Cafe Edison (on 48th between 8th and B%26#39;way) for lunch. Good soups and sandwiches--nothing fancy--they call it ';The Polish Tea Room.';

For Italian, you could head west over to Ninth Avenue: Pietrasanta, Cara Mia, Mangia e Bevi, Basilica, and others. If you%26#39;re going during the pre-theater rush (6 to 7:30) call first in case you need a reservation. I%26#39;d skip eating in Little Italy--maybe just sightsee and have a pastry.

Don%26#39;t eat a lot of Dim Sum, so can%26#39;t help with that.

Another good resource is www.menupages.com. You can sort restaurants by neighborhood, and then sort within that list by price and review. You can also see menus, but be aware that the information on the menus (items/prices) might not be up to date.

For dimsum, try HSF or Golden Unicorn.

I second 9th Avenue for a good choice of restaurants - perhaps Rachel%26#39;s, which is owned by Pietrasantra would suit your liking. And in Chinatown, just look for the storefronts with adverts for dim sum, I eaten in a few, can%26#39;t remember any names, all were quite satisfactory.

Plus, Voy%26#39;s sticky is a great resource for restaurants---check it out.

No worries, if you have the resources, you won%26#39;t go hungry in NYC.
