1. Get the hell out of Times Square.

2. Get yourself to Joe's, John's, Grimaldi's, Catania, Arturo's, etc. I can give you directions if you wish. Better yet, hop on the R down to Bay Ridge and try any of the pizzerias along 3rd Avenue. Vesuvio's is my favorite.

The problem with you transplants is that you go to the same crappy places as the tourists and that you never leave Manhattan (Williamsburg and Park Slope don't count).

been to grimaldi's under the bridge. I'll give you that -- it was awesome pizza, and the ice cream around the corner was pretty good. A friend was dragging me around to Park Slope Indian and Thai restuarants but, well, they don't serve great cheeseburgers.

I think maybe the food in Chicago is better.

I bristle at being called a "transplant." I rub shoulders with those morons all day and they really are a pain in the *ss.

Good advice!

I've not been to NY in years, but I can do that in the Detroitarea , and when I travel, I can almost ALWAYS find a good cheap place to eat...

I'm going to Chicago with my daughter next summer, and plan to sniff around to find food.

I can hardly wait!
