Get the matcha cream puff (or the black sesame) and then admire the other cutest (and yummy) desserts that are in their display. Go earlier, though, because they run out later in the day. Drinks are good as well if you need a pick me up.

Get 2-3 of the chocolate babka!!
Breads Bakery | Bakery with locations in Union Square ...
Great donuts - also by Grand Central Terminal
Downtown Brooklyn | Hours + Location - Doughnut Plant
Ice cream is fantastic, flavors are wonderful, and the Taiyaki cone is so much fun. Highly recommend the matcha and hojicha swirl with red bean taiyaki. You can also pick up Mochi donuts from this location - the matcha and yuzu flavors were fantastic...
Taiyaki NYC
Asian
Used to eat here when I came to the city for work - focus booths are the best. No distractions, best solo dining experience. They're known for their tonkatsu ramen and spicy red sauce.
ICHIRAN Ramen NY Times Square
Their ramen are so good but the stand out is the bacon wrapped asparagus!!
IPPUDO NY
Korean spot in Brooklyn. Check out their soda options and get the Bae drink or the Peach DemiSoda. Highly recommend sharing the lettuce platter with kalbi and japchae.
White Tiger
I love shrimp rice rolls and these are the dim sum version but massive. Also get the preserved egg congee dish with the fried dough stick.
Yin Ji Chang Fen
Absolutely gorgeous interior: high end Chinese food - definitely get the edamame dumplings. Also enjoyed the frozen cocktail, coconut sundae, matcha mochi donut, and the veggie fried rice. Fight colonialism by enjoying well prepared dishes at the p...

I can't handle spice but this is still so good - build your own bowls.

Come and get amazing, delicious roast pork buns to go. I usually love the classic baked roast pork bun with a sweet glaze on top, but I tried the pineapple version (so named because the craquelin on top looks like a pineapple) and it was soooooo good...

All you can eat KBBQ - and they’ll cook and prep it for you to take! Loved the speed and attentiveness. We stuffed ourselves full after approximately 8 orders of meat for 3 people. They were great about refilling our lettuce and sauces.
Let's Meat BBQ
Mediterranean / Middle Eastern
Perfect for sharing, everything was so light and wonderful. The flavors and combinations were done so well in a homage to traditional styles. I think this is a great place to go with friends who like to split food and I would highly recommend visitin...
Shuka
Really solid falafel and pita, quick service, great pricing. Honestly, would eat here over Chipotle when you're in the mood for something fast.
Shawarma Mia
Delicious Italian in a charming garden setting - enclosed with AC for those hot summer nights! I loved the mushroom pasta dish I got and the halibut was flavorful as well. I thought the pasta had a great chewiness to it and I was using the bread to m...

Places I've heard about but haven't tried personally yet
Excellence ambience and delicious street food. Thai street food beyond the normal Pad Thai - good for vegetarians but the meat and fish dishes are where they shine.
Pranakhon
Peruvian and Japanese fusion - fine dining and ambiance. They give you the full history of the dish to enhance the dining experience. Pricey but good.
