"American" foods to try in NYC?

A deli, a diner, and a steakhouse. There, that should cover it :joy:

I wasn’t really kidding about the 3 above, it’s a good cross-section of New York and Americana both.

Aside from those and pizza:

Soul food: Sylvia’s or Charles (new location too)

Italian American / Red Sauce: Go big like Carbone, or a bit less at one of the places on listicles (Don Angie, Frankie’s, etc), or get a decent but convenient version somewhere like Parm or Meatball Shop or then any neighborhood pizza and pasta shop.

Chinese American: I think this is pretty distinct from chinese elsewhere
