replying to u/Unlikely-Guess3775: Good list - a couple of thoughts: \- For bagels, do you intend to go to Leo's or Leo Pizza? Leo Pizza in Williamsburg makes an amazing sourdough bagel on the weekends that they serve with melted beurre de baratte. Super good! \- For pizza, have a slice of potato pie at...you guessed it, Leo. They're actually a spin off of Ops, which I see is also on your list and is great. Farina is the new spot in Gowanus people are talking about at the moment too. Lala's is fun for New Haven style thin pizza served on a rooftop above a brewery in East Williamsburg. Da Radda in the East Village has some interesting Argentinian-style pizzas \- For Chinese, if you want egg tarts, Tai Pan is good as you mentioned, or Fay Da. If you're looking for a dumpling fix, my favorite is Nan Xiang XLB. They have the classic XLB of course as well as very good Shanghainese veg steamed dumplings. Their original location is in Flushing, but they recently opened a branch in Midtown as well \- It's not a halal cart, but the best falafel/shawarma in the city is at Zyara in Astoria. They have a very nice outdoor garden in the back as well

“extremely close second. Virtually no line and better value. This would be my go to spot if considering line wait times for Adels. Everything was great from sauce, rice, meat quality, and freshness.”

replying to u/Snoo-18544: Its a tourist trap. So is halal guys. Its the same thing you get at any halal truck, the default order is lamb over rice or chicken over rice with white sauce and spicy red sauce. Halal trucks are a lot like pizza, people who live here would never wait in a long line for it. You go to what ever is most convenient. Some halal places put a few fries with their lamb over rice, don't ask me why. Many of these carts meats are pre-prepared in kitchens in queens and they are quickly reheating them in the truck.
“I really like Mido’s on 6th and 18th for a good alternative. It tastes a lot like Adel’s but without the line.”
