Carnegie Deli in New York City

The first meal you should have in New York is at Carnegie Deli. We ordered the pastrami sandwich which is about a pound of pastrami on bread. Mustard is on every table. This sandwich is better eaten with a fork and knife. The pickles served before the meal were ok. The best part about this deli is you may be seated at a table for eight so you get to meet people who are also visiting New York. We were seated next to a family of four from England. They recommended the pastrami sandwich. So don't forget to visit this landmark near Times Square.

Lombardi's in New York City

We also visited Lombardi's. It is the first pizzeria in NYC. After a long day on the ferry to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, we were ready for some pizza. It was incredible.
The salad was fresh, and the pizza was gourmet. It was crispy, cooked to perfection on thin crust in an authentic Italian brick oven. The slices are huge! and the restaurant deserves a bonus for the slices being non-greasy. The pizza sauce is superb and flavorful. It's actually soaked in the crust and dried on top. What brings the pizza together are the toppings. Each pizza comes with a choice of three  toppings. My family chose spinach, sausage and tomatoes. The whole pizza was mouth watering, aesthetic to our eyes and delicious to our noses. I would recommend this place for New York pizza.

Thai Seasons Restaurant in New York City

After a long day of shopping at the Columbia Bookstore, Dylan's Candy Bar, Bloomingdale's, etc. we decided to eat at Thai Seasons. We ordered the green curry chicken. It was out of this world. Make sure you get the brown rice as it has a really nice texture. We accidentally left our shopping bag full of stuff when we left. When we returned the next day, they had our bag! They begrudgingly took our reward. So for great Thai food and great service, visit Thai Seasons near 90th Street and Amsterdam in New York City!
