Some Places for Serena's Cousin
Wah Fung Fast Food
Chinese restaurant · Chinatown
The lines will be long, but I have loved this roast pig (not the pork which is sweeter) over rice for many years...
Miznon
Israeli restaurant · Chelsea
A very good pita and protein in Chelsea market, which you can probably find some other good things, as well!
7th Street Burger
Hamburger restaurant · East Village
There's no space to eat, but this is a very good burger that is open very late at night.
Los Tacos No. 1
Taco restaurant · NoHo
Maybe the best taco in the city? There's other locations so you can find one closer to you, probably!
Raku
Japanese restaurant · East Village
I would go here if you want a nice vibey udon...
Lil' Frankie's
Pizza restaurant · East Village
A place to go for accessible Italian and pizza that's chill and just fun to be at.
Joe's Shanghai
Shanghainese restaurant · Chinatown
The og place for soup dumplings (I also like the Shanghai fried rice and scallion pancake to round out the meal).
Prince Street Pizza
Pizza restaurant · Nolita
Slightly problematic ownership, but good pepperoni square
Upside Pizza
Pizza restaurant · Nolita
A good place to go for a slice with less problematic ownership.
