Have reservations at top steak and sushi places, plus plans are to hit Crif Dogs, Shake Shack, and maybe Pinkberry (I know it is an LA thing but they have not yet come to DC). Any other suggestions for "must dos"? We'll probably go to a cupcake place even though DC has plenty of those. Prefer something unique-to-NYC and really, really good. Price is not an issue as it is a weekend splurge.

Thu Jul 02 12:28:17 -0700 2009 4824997 88559 drbelfer 1 4825084 Ess-a-Bagel is a must. www.ess-a-bagel.com. Avoid Pinkberry like the plague, have a sweet delicious cupcake at Billy's in defiance of the scourge of tart yogurt. Thu Jul 02 12:35:33 -0700 2009 4824997 13463 OC Mutt 1 4825094 pretty simple. Katz's for a hot pastrami is a must. Bagels from Ess-a-Bagel or H&H is a must. Cheesecake from Juniors is a must. Pizza from a place that is convenient for you and highly regarded is a must (preferably brooklyn but i'm snobby about my pizza like that).

About the original post, I would recommend Momofuku Ssam Bar for a true foodie experience.
