W. 30's and 9th Avenue

[gtrekker2003]

I just moved to this neighbourhood. Any suggestions of good places to eat for Thai, Japanese, French, Pizza, American, Mexican/Spanish, anything? Also, suggestions of good grocery stores/markets and bakeries? Looking for cheap eats to moderately expensive ($20-$30). Take out to dine in to delivery.
Especially interested in suggestions of grocery stores....I live near a Gristedes and hate the produce quality.

Many Thanks!

Pizza -- Lazzara
Falafel -- Pick-A-Pita
Japanese curry -- Go go curry
Grocery stores -- Whole Foods on 24th and the "Farmers Market" on 9th near Port Authority
Seafood -- Sea Breeze
Bakery -- Posiedon, Amy's

If you want to go East of Broadway, you've got a lot more options. And you've got all the 9th Ave options North of 40th Street.
