HELP! Need savvy snack-like recs

Am going on a day long jaunt to find the most interesting and tasty snacks, desserts, drinks, etc. next Monday. I am going with a sophisticated restaurant owner who has seen most all of it. Would like recs on interesting places to go. Examples might be; the sticky bun at BOUCHON or the Dosa-Cart guy on Sullivan. Also, where is the green sandwich place in Chinatown? We are taking a car service so far corners of Manhattan are OK.

        1. Where is Bouchon, and are their sticky buns really that good?

            1. re: hank

              Bouchon Bakery is in the Time Wrner building. Went for the first time today and had an amazing caramel macroon. Have not tried the sticky buns-sorry

              • How about Blue Ribbon Bakery Shop for their open faced thick bread 'sandwiches'...esp one with duck breast or pate.

                  1. I visit NYC 3-4x a year and my trips are all about houndish foods.

                    I recommend the following:
                    Dumpling House (excellent fried/steamed meat/veggie dumplings and more!, 5 for a dollar)
                    118 Eldridge/Lower East Side

                    Pomme Frites (excellent Belgium fries with about a zillion varieties of dipping sauces)
                    123 2nd Avenue
