We'll have a mere 36 hours in New York City. What's good not-too-expensive restaurant idea? It seems like we'll be mostly in lower Manhattan. Thanks!

Too many to pick from. Any favorite cuisine or dietary requirements?
Is "we" a couple, family, friends? Which time of the year?

What does inexpensive mean to you? NYC dining budgets are usually higher than in most of the country.

One of NYC's joys is that there's good food on almost every block, at least in Manhattan, with a wide choice of ethnicities in any neighborhood. I suggest using Google Maps (or whatever is on the iPhone) to look for restaurants near wherever you'll be staying. You will probably have a considerable choice. FWIW, there's lots of good Asian food in Chinatown and lots of good Italian food in Little Italy (duh...).

How far downtown? Da Andrea for Italian, 2 locations one in Chelsea, one in Greenwich Village. Bobo for French Bistro food, on W 10th St in West Village. Veselka for Ukrainian food, East Village...if you can be more specific with your location, I may have other suggestions...

You have to do Katz's Deli for lunch on the LES. I always recommend visitors pair that with an apartment tour at the Tenement Museum.
I had great dinners at Ci Siamo and Balthazar a couple years ago. Both are in Lower Manhattan.
