Best pizza in the world. I've traveled all across Italy and this pizza tops it! Open until 11 most nights! God for late dinner around 9, and you won't be waiting excruciatingly long for a table. Definitely a must do for anyone who comes to New York. Honestly the best of the best!

Without a doubt, the best cookies I have ever had in my life! Go at an awkward time, like 2 or 3 pm to avoid the ridiculous block circling line. No matter how long the wait, these cookies are beyond worth it. The peanut butter cookie is to die for. Central park is also next door, so burning off the calories will be much easier.

Best rice pudding you will ever have. Last I checked they have almost 20 different flavors, and every single one is as good as the last. I'm lactose intolerant, and I still go through the discomfort of having rice pudding here.

Best Coffee Chain in Manhattan. Their Cortado coffee's are to die for. Start every morning with a coffee from La Colombe. Very rarely does this location allow seating, so keep in mind that you'll have to find a place to sit. Directly across the street is a public space with small shops and access to the 2/3 trains.

Pastrami sandwiches to die for. They cost a whopping $20 a sandwich, but they come packed with a pound of meat each. Buy 1 sandwich to share and order sides. This is a neighborhood mecca, and a classic among New Yorkers.
