Trying to be good while I’m alone in the Big Apple, but if I do a cheat meal, where should I go?

    Yeah, that’s an idea. Mostly just looking to engender conversation, honestly. Your name cracked me up, BTW...lol

    Depends on your tastes, your budget and your timeframe...among other things.

    Narrow it down a bit. Do you want a particular style of food? Do you just want to go to a famous restaurant? Do you want to go somewhere that the locals swear by regardless of fame or fortune?

    NYC has anything and everything under the sun.

    Eat ALL the pizza!!! So many different cuisines to choose from. I would suggest you search yelp to check ratings, reviews & view pics for patrons. Have fun in NYC!

    Been to Manhattan for a couple of short personal trips over the past few years. NYC is one of the world centers for great cuisine, so you can find almost anything you want there. We went with our kids so we didn't search out high cuisine, but you can find great food all over. Personally, I'd look for bagels, pizza, Chinese food, and Italian pastries.

    Ended up eating at a place called Del Fresco for lunch. Was very good. Excellent lobster roll.

    You must have a NY bagel, or 10 of them. And pizza. When I am in NY there is no such thing as a "cheat meal", only a cheat week. It's worth it.

    I'd skip the meal and go straight to beer

    Or this of course.

    Food is one of the things I'm trying to change and it is the hardest. All my life when I do something with families or friends it's always revolving around food and I'm tired of it really. Don't get me wrong I love food I just don't want everything I do is centered around it

    That's why I compromise and I center most occasions around booze.
