    There are many places that I like to eat; it just depends on my mood on whichever particular day. Since I'm a nice person, I'm gonna list out each and every place in the city that I like, along with the pricing.

    1) Two Boots - This pizza chain has multiple stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and I've got to hand it to them; they make some of the BEST pizza I've ever tasted, with some really nice varieties. I like their "Bayou Beast" pizza, which is topped with BBQ shrimp and crawfish! Each slice, I believe, is $3.25? Well, somewhere in the $3 to $4 range. Each slice is extremely filling, so it's worth every penny. I usually go to the one located within Grand Central Terminal, which is easily accessible.

    2) Oyster Bar - This place was shown to me by a friend of mine. Admittedly, it's a little expensive for lunch (sandwiches range from $8 to $12), but it's pretty good, especially for a seafood addict like myself. They also have soups, so if that's what you prefer, you can order soups as well. It might be a little difficult to locate if you're going for the first time, but it's located within the Grand Central Terminal, on one side of the "celestial ceiling" room (sorry, don't know the proper name lol). I think only one side is directly accessible, which leads to a corridor, if you will. You'll see the entrance to the oyster bar, but you don't want to sit-in and dine because that's expensive. Instead, head towards the right of the entrance, and there should be a little kiosk-like window booth opened (if not, you're probably there at an odd time). THAT'S where you place your order-- there's a menu directly overhead inside said window.

    3) Kenka - Okay, technically this isn't a place for lunch, as it opens at 6 PM every afternoon, but it's DELISH. Located directly underneath Search & Destroy, the restaurant has no English words written on its banner; however, you should be able to recognize it from its motion activated glass doors. The main courses range from $8 to $12, but it is worth EVERY PENNY. Seriously, you will not leave this place feeling like you still have more room in your stomach. It will fill you up. I suggest Kenka virgins order the "omurice", which is basically fried rice topped with an mayonnaise and ketchup drenched omelet with chicken pieces inside. Trust me, IT'S SOOOO GOOD. EVERY LITTLE BITE OF IT IS LIKE A MOMENT IN HEAVEN! Yeah, it's that good. Also, I want to add that some waiters/waitresses might serve you alcohol even if you're underage; they don't tend to ask for ID. I know this because I once ordered aloe calpico and the waitress that was serving me mixed it with some alcoholic drink. XD Anyways, TRY THIS PLACE! You will love it!

    4) Seoul Garden - Excellent Korean food. They also serve you free tiny "dishes", like kimchi, bean sprout, this seafood like jelly thing, etc. etc. Even their cheaper dishes fill you up. I'd say it's around $8 to $12 for a main course. Located near Herald Square. You need to take an elevator to get to the restaurant, as it's located on the 2nd floor of the building that it's in. Address: 34 W. 32nd St., 2nd fl, New York, NY 10001

    5) Auntie Anne's - I LOVE THEIR CINNAMON SUGAR PRETZELS, AHHH~! So good. You're gonna have to look up the locations for this, because I don't know any within the city. I believe there are two within the Times Square vicinity.


    /////////////////////IN QUEENS/////////////////////

    1) Paris Baguette - Best cakes I've ever tasted. Sometimes they also have $12 macaron box sets.

    2) Kyochon Chicken - OMG, this place serves THE BEST. FRIED CHICKEN. IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! Be aware that it's quite pricey; one chicken piece is about $1 or so. If you're going to order from here, bring lots of money because it is expensive. There are two locations in Queens and one in Manhattan. Google up the locations, because I'm too lazy to look them up for you.

    3) Quiznos - I know, this is a multiple location sandwich chain, but I order from the one in Bayside. Be sure to order the "Baja Chicken". Too delicious man, too delicious.




    Well, if I think up of more restaurants, I'll list them later. And you're welcome.
