If you want Indian food, they have amazing Indian food, and if you want Thai food, they have incredible Thai food. Traditionally speaking, New York City is most famous for its pizza and bagels, neither of which I indulged in too much because I’m more of a sit-down-and-dine type kinda gal. That will quickly change on future visits since I can no longer access the best pizza and bagels in town. With that said, here are some of my favorite NYC eateries.
