Organ Meats in NYC or other Unusual Meats?
I like unusual meats. Tongue is available at a number of Japanese restaurants and Jewish delis. What else is out there? I am sure there's plent of "marrow". Here's a place I haven't tried, but they have amazing things on their menu which is a form of Korean barbecue developed in Japan post WWII. This one is called Takashi specializing in many cuts of beef. On their menu is amazing organ meats; four differnt cow stomachs, not just tendons, as you might get in a typical Chinese or Vietnamese resto, but achilles tendon. Kobe prosciutto. Liver, tongue, even "tongue sinew" whatever that is. Three types of cow tongue dishes besides that. Heart, cheek of course. Oxtail, sweetbreads too. Not just beef ribs, but the meet from between the ribs too. Wow. Can't wait to try it.
For amazing cuts of "chicken parts" grilled, look at the menu at Torishin Yakitori resturant. They even serve grilled "main artery" and "chicken oyster" and "knee gristle". Wow. They have a 1 star Michelin to boot. Look forward to trying it.
Has anyone tired these or have other ORGAN MEET places to suggest?

Congee Village has some good duck blood dishes. I've had duck blood with either scallions or yellow chives there, and another duck blood dish with ginger and scallions. Both were good, though salty.
Very good morcilla (blood sausage) at Buenos Aires, a good and good-value Argentinian steakhouse in the East Village.
A number of places have very good foie gras dishes. I haven't been to Jean Georges for a while but that's one of the places where I've had excellent foie gras.
I've had excellent sweetbreads at several places, too, including the Modern (might have been the bar).
Offal really is not uncommon on New York menus.

Maharlika for the sisig ( pork ears, liver, other, and other), balout ( duck fetus)
Sa Aming nayon for Filipino dinuguan ( pork blood stew, made with pork liver, lungs, kidneys, snouts, ears, intestines, heart all simmered in pig blood and other ingredients like vinegar etc) Some places don't use as much offal.-----

The term you are looking for is "offal."
Definitely try Takashi, it is excellent.
Yakitori Totto (and probably other yakitori places) have various chicken parts.
There's a good number of places in Chinatown, too.

Other places you serving offal:
Spotted Pig - crispy pig's ear salad, bone marrow
The Breslin - headcheese, pig's foot, you can also do the one of the chef's table feasts that will include offal. Like for the suckling pig dinner, they bring you the ears, eyes, snout, brain, tongue, and jowl. For the lamb dinner, you get grilled liver, kidney, heart.
Hakata Tonton - pig's feet in multiple dishes

)Blue Ribbon Brasserie - escargot, sweetbreads, pigeon, bone marrow
Prune - snails, tripe, bone marrow, sweetbreads, they also are known for their monkfish liver, but I don't think it's currently on the menu
Kabab Cafe in Queens (one of my favorite places ever) - testicles (on occasion), beef cheek, lamb's brains, duck liver, etc.
Xian Famous Foods - "lamb's face" cold salad
Chez Napoleon (old school French restaurant) - kidney, calf's brains, rabbit, quail, frogs legs, sweetbreads

re: kathryn
Wow; you know your "offall new york" quite thoroughly. GREAT LIST! Some additions I thought of:
Atelier at Joel Robluchon: Wonderful pork cheeks terrine.
Various Korean places: korean blood sausage called "sundae" and korean bone (including marrow) soup called sulung tang which often includes the tongue. Also oxtail soup and pork shoulder bone soupl
Fairway: you can buy guanciale or cheak meat which is good for Amariciana sauce. For an authentic recipe from Google italy; http://website.lineone.net/~traditio/...
Mexican? Does anyone know a good "menudo" place (tripe soup)?
English/French/german, etc. Boudon Noir or black pudding-blood sausage.-----
