My deadline quickly approaches and I only have room for three or four of each...so whatever concise advice you have to offer is much appreciated. Thanks!

My food faves: Grand Sweets - good Bengali cooking hidden down a back alley off of 73rd street. La Nueva - fabulous pastries and Latino cafe society on 37th Avenue Jackson House diner - some may disagree with me on the food end, but the best diner waitresses ever! Good Luck!
