Big Adventure's Big Guide of Things to See & Do in NYC - Fantastic Food Options Continued

We had gathered some recommendations of various places to see and go for first time visitors and seasoned travelers alike. In the end, we had a list of restaurants, bars, activities, and museums  that are unique to New York City,relatively inexpensive and eye-opening. In short, A Big Adventure "Best Of" list.

Fantastic Food Options Continued

 

Café Lalo

www.cafelalo.com

201 W. 83^rd Street (between Broadway and Amsterdam)

The Serendipity of the Upper West Side, but with much more charm and fewer people in line. Lalo’s huge menu offers a European variety of desserts and treats. Food is only okay, but the iconic setting for the scene in “You’ve Got Mail” and closely packed tables, make it the epitome of a New York Café.

Alice’s Tea Cup

3 locations:  102 W. 73^rd (between Amsterdam and Columbus), 156 E. 64^th Street (at Lexington Avenue), and 220 E. 81^st Street (between 2^nd and 3^rd)

Though no connection to movie or TV, this is a cute place for Tea and Finger Sandwiches. When entering, you really do feel like you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole to Alice’s Wonderland. A lovely spot and the perfect place for afternoon tea and snacks.

Gray’s Papaya

2090 Broadway (at W. 72^nd Street)

Got $2.75 in your wallet? Then you can eat like a King at Gray’s Papaya Dog! If you feel the financial burden of visiting NYC, take advantage of their recession special and enjoy cheap NYC Hot Dogs and drinks. No frills, just lots of lights, big signs and endless hot dogs.

Lombardi’s Pizza

www.firstpizza.com

32 Spring Street (between Mott St. and Mulberry St.)

THE Original New York City pizza. 7 of 10 locals agree that this is tops in town (no easy feat). Located just north of Little Italy, this place has a history as rich as their wood burning oven, thin crust pies. Note that you can only order full pizzas and, again, there may be a wait. A tip: Gatsby’s Bar down the block and across the street will allow you bring pizza in and dine while enjoying their drinks.
