I'll add more as soon as I remember anything else.

Thanks so much ^__^! I also recommend using tripadvisor.com to !browse on restaurants and attractions as well, there's nothing like customer reviews to know what you are getting into ^^

Thanks for that.....i was planning to post something similar up asking about good places in NY to go, visit, eat etc......First time in the city (and states) so all this is great info for me to know good places in the city ^^ in particular good cheap places LOL

Cool! Thanks for the recomendations!

Your welcome everyone! I had been thinking of making this post but wanted to put some good stuff in it. I have more, just need to organize my thoughts lol. But, if for example you hear about a place and you don't know if it's good or bad, or expensive or anything, you can also check it through http://newyork.citysearch.com/. This website is what I use, and I also write reviews whenever I go to a new place. They have this function that if you look up a a restaurant for example, there is a button that says 'Send to' and you can send the restaurant address to your phone via text message. Then once you are on the go you'll have the address with you in your phone already. It's very helpful. I updated the list with info on whether the place is cheap or not. I'll find a few more and add them.

Another great place I tried this past weekend. Good prices, and the food is great! It's called Tahini and it's in the East Village. They make delicious Falafels!!

Tahini
23 3rd Ave
