You've gotta try a black & white cookie while in NYC and this place is one of the best.

NYC is famous for their bagels (different than the ones in Montreal) and this little spot is an excellent place to try them.
Must Try: House Beet Lox on Sesame ~ Horseradish cream cheese, radish, & herb.

You can't go to NYC without having some legit pastrami! Open since 1888, this is the place! Perfect for super late night eats.

This luxurious French seafood restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the world. It tops every list. It has a 3-star Michelin rating, the highest honour in the culinary world. And yes, it's very expensive. (But can you really put a price on the best meal of your life?) Your reservation must be booked way in advance.
Must Try: Chef's Tasting Menu

Amazing ramen that you need in your life right now.
Must Try: Momofuku Ramen ~ Pork belly, pork shoulder, poached egg.

The best hot dogs, hands down. They have locations all over the place, but visiting their original location on Coney Island (open since 1916) is the best experience.
