Restaurant recs or restaurant week?
My partner and I are visiting manhattan and staten island area in a couple weeks. Since restaurant week is happening then, we are wondering if anyone has any must eat spots thatre part of the event? Especially considering we’re going to be tourists, we’re looking for stuff that’s particularly unique and representative of NYC, ofc we want to support local businesses too!
Here is the link of the restaurants:
Feel free to drop any other food recs, thanks in advance!
Edit:
– we are looking for food anywhere in manhattan and Staten Island.
– we are open to $-$$$ generally, unless there’s a $$$$ that’s a must in ur opinion.
– main cuisines we are looking for: Carribean and central or South American (Cuban, Puerto Rican, Peruvian, etc). Also Ukrainian and Eastern European/balkan foods. Last, middle eastern food like Lebanese, Persian, afghani, etc (this is my favorite food)
– We also want to try some south/southeast Asian food if possible like viet, Malaysian, Thai, Korean, etc
– our vibe: casual/ordwr at counter to a notch maybe below fine dining
