My favorite restaurant of all time is Bar Pitti. It serves simple and traditional Italian food. It is the #1 restaurant I would recommend trying in NYC. Sant Ambroeus is also a great place to get Italian food. The decor is very unique, the walls are covered in decorative plates from many businesses. BondSt is one of the best places to get sushi in Manhattan and Mr. Taka is a michelin star ramen restaurant in the East Village of NY.
