If you’re in midtown (around empire state building), there is one of my favorite chinese restaurants: China Cafe: 13 E 37th, New York, NY 10016. // Traditional Sichuan food with sophisticated decor. I love the Garlic Bacon dish there. Pretty much everything is good. No tips required. It’s Michelin Star restaurant.
