replying to u/rightwing328: The burger joint. Place used to be such a great hidden gem and my opinion the best fast food style burger i’ve had. Now it’s just another tourist trap. Grimaldi’s also. Went when I was younger to the kg location (now Juliana’s) and it was just really good old school coal fired pizza. Says a lot Patsy had to open Juliana’s just to have good pizza under his name again

replying to u/FowlTemptress: Overrated: Grimaldi’s. But I don’t know if it’s still as hyped up as it was a few years ago. They used to be so good but became a tourist trap with surly waiters.

“The exceptions were the *real* Neopolitan original institutions like Grimaldi's, Arturo's, Patsy's, John's, Lombardi's, L&B Spumoni, joe & pats, Di Fara where they make their own sauce, use double zero (00) flour with minimum 2 rises, real mozzarella and basil, and cook in coal and wood burning ovens.”

replying to u/jaded_toast: This might be a semi-controversial take for some, but I was so incredibly disappointed when I tried Di Fara, and from what I've seen in this sub, it sounds like they've been inconsistent for a long time. I feel like unless you live in the city, the trek out there isn't worth it for the possible gamble. F&F is a great slice, and I especially love their clam pie. Baby Luc's wasn't my thing, but if you're already in the neighborhood, might be worth trying. I know that a lot of people rave about Wheated in Kensington. I personally didn't love it. I thought that the dough was nice, but the sauce was, iirc, very thick and acidic - texturally and concentration-wise closer to tomato paste, to me at least. I haven't been yet myself, but I've seen Grimaldi's and Juliana's thrown around a lot for Dumbo.

replying to u/crazeman: Some general comments without knowing your itinerary. I kind of feel like your itinerary is all over the place. **Wednesday:** I'm assuming that you're just looking for a dinner spot near Chelsea since that's where your hotel is. IMO Chelsea Market is a super cool visit but it's a better lunch spot than dinner. Some of the stalls/vendors may close early as well. It's also kind of like farmer market vibe at CM so I feel like going for dinner isn't quite the same experience? Standouts in Chelsea Market is the original Los Tacos #1 location and the only Los Mariscos location. Los Mariscos is Los Taco's sister restaurant and they do fish/shrimp tacos, ceviche, etc. **I'd combine Chinatown/Little Italy day with 9/11 memorial:** The area for the 9/11 memorial is kind of a shit area for food. Not saying that there isn't decent lunch nearby but there's nothing really that amazing or unique in the area. On the other hand, Chinatown has amazing food and is only a \~20 min walk/1 subway stop away. So I would go to Chinatown for lunch, and once you're done exploring Chinatown, you can walk or take the subway to the memorial. --- FYI, Little Italy has shrunk to like 2-3 blocks in Chinatown nowadays, it's worth walking through if you're going to Chinatown anyway but it's literally a 5-10 minute walkthrough at most. I've only eaten at Little Italy once so maybe I'm talking out of my ass, but personally I think 99% of the stuff in Little Italy are giant tourist traps. Most of the…

replying to u/snark-as-a-service: Joe’s Shanghai is absolute trash and I will die on this hill. Their xiaolongbao skins are horribly thick and doughy, poorly constructed, clearly not freshly steamed. There are so many better options a stone’s throw away that will actually provide decent authentic Shanghainese food.
