BEST STEAK IN NYC. Peter Luger's gets the press, but this place is our favorite. It's not cheap but it's worth the splurge. Luger's has a 2 week wait - you can show up to Prime Meats and wait a few hours at the bar and eat the same night. If you are a meat eater - don't miss out. The burger is great too. And the coconut cream pie. And the baked carrots. And. And..

THE BEST. They serve La Colombe coffee (best in Manhattan) and bake fresh goodies daily. The cinnamon rolls are usually fresh and hot at 9am and are the best $3 start to your day possible.

Ben is from Texas. And super picky about Mexican eats. This is the best spot we have found. It is fairly priced and a good time out to eat. The fancy margaritas are a personal fav (LOVE the jalapeño version), the burritos are gigantic, and the Baja fish tacos are incredible. Make sure to try the "crack sauce." Good stuff.
