Going to school in Manhattan basically means you’re constantly surrounded by different types of food from all over the world. From quick delicious bites to more of a sit down location, you’re going to want to try one of these 20 different places to Eat In Manhattan.
I know that the hot dog carts might seem a little sketchy to a first timer but trust me, it’s an amazing quick tasty snack for very little price.
There are bacon, egg and cheeses sold all over the place, but this is one of my favorites. Located on Avenue A in the East Village. In addition to sandwiches they have 25 different flavor cream cheeses from chocolate chip cookie dough or pear to bacon herb, chipotle avocado to tofu options.
With 3 different locations, one in Brooklyn, Chinatown and on 14th street (between 2nd and 3rd ave) these dumplings and sesame pancakes, in my opinion, can’t be beat.
A hot spot for a treat after a Broadway show. Located at 362 W 45th St this tiny little bakery offers a rating variety of 45+ flavors. 2 cookies for $5 will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. Bonus: Every year in May they have Broadway Bakes, a fundraising program that helps to raise money for Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS.
With a location at Columbus Circle and Rockefeller Center, this bakery is sure to curb your craving for a macron without busting your budget at a fancy tea house.
If you’re anything like me, this will be your dinner spot before seeing Kinky Boots. Located right next to the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on 45th and 8th, this bar and lounge is a great spot for an amazing juicy burger. With caramelized onions and cheddar cheese oozing out from every corner of the burger. Note: This establishment serves alcohol.
If you can’t make it to the shop in Hoboken, then your next best bet is the shop located in Times Square on 8th Ave. There plenty of places to get a cannoli anywhere in Manhattan, but nothing beats these.
Located at 7th ave in the heart of Chelsea, this 24/7 restaurant is serving up comfort food with a “contemporary twist”. The “Mac Attack” is a tasting of their Cheddar and Fontina mac, Truffle Oil mac, and their Smoked Gouda and Bacon mac. Note: This establishment serves alcohol.

If you’re in the mood for some authentic Mexican street corn then this is the place for you. Served with mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder and lime this place can’t be beat.

This place located on Macdougal St is all about the fries! With about 30 different sauces to choose from this will be one of your favorite fry places for sure. They also have poutine if you’re in the mood for some Canadian cuisine.
Just another burger place right? This tiny little counter place is located in the lower east side at 15 Essex Street. A great vegetarian option and a more sophisticated version of Shake Shack’s shroom burger. Try out a side of the kitchen sink fries for the whole table.
I know this might sound a little strange. Who chooses to go out and get oatmeal for a meal? But when you have a build your own option with over 80 different toppings, this cozy little cafe on 3rd and Macdougal is the place to be.
