My Favorite Places to Eat (Near Where I Live)

• S’Mac (12th Street in between 1st and 2nd Avenues) – This place serves up some gourmet macaroni and cheese. Some of the menu items are rather fancy, like “The Mediterranean,” but there are also more traditional options, such as the “All-American.” And they deliver!


• Crif Dogs (St. Marks pl. in between 1st and Avenue A) – This is by far my favorite hot dog. The menu has all sorts of strange options, like “The Chihuahua,” which is a hot dog wrapped in bacon with avocado and sour cream. I love ordering the stoner pack- a “mystery grab bag of eats.” They totally deliver.


• A Salt & Battery (Greenwich Ave. between 12th and 13th Streets) – This is where you go to if you’re craving some authentic fish and chips. The dudes that run this place come right from the UK, so you know you’re getting the real deal. Also, don’t be afraid to try the meat pies; they’re delicious! They do deliver, but for the optimal experience, you’re going to want to head over there yourself.


• Five Guys Burgers and Fries (Bleecker Street and 7th Ave.) – These burgers are totally delicious, but also pretty greasy. All toppings are free (except for bacon and cheese), which definitely encourages the customer to experiment with all kinds of different combinations. The fries aren’t too shabby either! And you bet this place delivers.


• Pluck U. (Thompson Street between W. 3rd and Bleecker) – Certainly the best buffalo wings you can get around here. They’re pretty big compared to the wings you get at other places and there are a wide variety of sauces to choose from, with intensity ranging from “mild” to “death.” Oh, and they deliver!
