NYC recommendations? [General]
2011 Nov 15
Roberta's in Brooklyn sounds suspiciously trendy, but the previous NYTimes reviewer couldn't help but give it a very positive review. I think there may be some substance here despite my initial misgivings.

We just came back from NYC and were trying to get to a place called "A Salt and Battery". I saw it featured on "The best thing I ever ate" for their amazing fish and chips and also the Deep Fried Mars Bar :):)
Unfortunately we never got there in our two days, but it's at 112 Greenwich Avenue (12th and 13th Streets). Supposed to be a fun place

We did get to the Chelsea Market which is a must for any Foodie.
Location: 75 9th Avenue (Between 15th and 16th Streets)
We ate at "The Lobster Place" - amazing fresh seafood place where you order at a window at the back. There was a HUGE line-up for their Lobster bisque. I ordered the seafood sliders. On fresh Brioche buns - one lobster roll, one shrimp roll and one crab roll with bacon. They were To.Die.For.

We were in NYC on Friday - we only had 2 hours (we were staying in Newark) and went to Katz's Deli. Great NY deli experience. We tried the corned beef, the pastrami and the beef brisket sandwiches - all of which came with two types of pickles (the pastrami was the standout).
Worth a visit if you're close by.

The picture is of the beef brisket sandwich - light rye and a little mustard.

Seconding 11 Mad and Katz', and emphatically adding Tao or Buddakan (similar asian fusion tapas in uber cool setting so both would be redundant but either one is foodgasm-worthy).
Second Ave and Carnegie delis both worthwhile alternatives to Katz' too, tho i still give Katz' a slight edge.

Barney Greengrass is another place that has great deli sandwiches and superb smoked fish. It's an institution!
