Guidebook for New York
Food Scene
Amazing california-style cuisine (local and veg-forward dishes) frequented by art/fashion kids (at least in 2018...). On weekends you'll always see people waiting outside, but living across the street, you can drop your name and head back upstairs while you wait ;)

Classic Hong Kong style dim sum on carts passing by you as you take your pickings in a cavernous banquet hall. It's delicious and super affordable, but very busy. At peak times you're likely to have a huge wait.
