Sushi Spots
My personal favorites for sushi in NYC! Frequently go to & order in from all of these places! of course going in person is always better, but still :)
Classic, buzzy, and consistently delicious. Perfect for a special occassion dinner or night out. Their crispy tuna rice is the best!
Nobu Fifty Seven
They have a few locations in the city + you cannot make a reservation. No one makes a better handroll than them. It is worth waiting in line for!
KazuNori: The Original Hand Roll Bar
Perfect date night spot with fabulous sushi + upscale enviornment. They also have more than sushi on the menu.
Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill - Columbus Circle
Favorite classic sushi in the city. Their fish is so fresh and the environment is relaxed, casual, and authentic. Get the toro scallion roll.

The best of walk in places in the city with the most delicious food! Pizza and pasta!
The best casual, classic, pastas! Some of the best pasta in the city. It is cash only FYI and walk ins only. Definitely worth the wait too.
Bar Pitti
Favorite pizza in the city. It is no-frills, legendary coal oven pizza. There is typically a line but it goes pretty fast.
John's of Bleecker St. - Food Menu
If you are looking for thick grandma's style pizza! They have cult-favorite square slices with spicy pepperoni (so good). There is typically a line but it also goes pretty fast.
