I've lived in New York City my entire life - here are the best places to actually eat
As a kid growing up in New York City, I never ate Happy Meals.
Why would I when I could get a great bagel or slice of pizza for the same price?
New York has some of the best food in the world. Even neighborhood takeout spots are top-notch eateries that people come from all over to try. So over my nearly three decades of living here - I spent four years living in Ithaca, NY, for college - I've refined my list of go-to places that I swear by.
These are the places that are dependable and also affordable. They're the types of places you can go to on a whim and do not require hard-to-come-by reservations.
Some disclosures: This list is heavily weighted toward places in Brooklyn and Manhattan, because that's where I've lived. I've also left off some of New York's top restaurants like Blue Hill and Carbone because they're special occasion spots and deserve their own separate list.
Here are my favorite places in New York City to eat.
