No sleep till Brooklyn (or Manhattan) – looking for New York food ideas
Dana and I have booked our trip to New York and we’re most excited. 4 days in Brooklyn followed by 4 days in Manhattan. Friends are meeting us for the last half of the trip (Manhattan) – we’ve all been discussing this trip for a few years (since we journeyed to Chicago).
Dana has been to New York several times and adores it. I have never been and am excited to see it.
We’ve been probing Twitter for the last few days as well as emailing friends (both those who we’ve known in person as well as the digital kind 
) and we’re blown away by the ideas we’ve received so far. Farms, chocolate shops, farmers market, restaurants, bars and more are all on our hit list.
We’ll be putting together some articles and a Google map of the ideas we receive and share them here (unless you send us a treasured secret that you don’t want shared…laugh).
For now, we’re looking for any other recommendations. Are there any destinations (places you’ve been, read about, adore or fantasize about) to share out here? We’d love to hear them. Use the comments or fire me an email (joel (a) elevenideas.ca) and we’ll share our guide to New York when we return and have compiled our findings!

Looking forward to seeing where you decide to go!
We had a really wonderful, very late night dinner here in 2008:

hey wellpreserved folks! are you going to go to queens? there is some incredible food in queens, and thus you should go. sripraphai in woodside for the best thai food you’ll likely ever have. wander around the jackson heights neighborhood for north indian and south indian food. dont forget to get chai and chaat. there used to be some interesting irish pubs and irish food in sunnyside–my old nabe! then if you go into elmhurst or corona you can find some amazing peruvian and colombian food. then there’s som good greek tavernas in astoria. let me know if you’re interested in any of these, and i’ll give you more specifics. in manhattan, go to economy candy and 2nd avenue deli–i havent been to its new location, but when i went to the old 2nd avenue spot i though it was better than katz’s. in brooklyn you should go to sahadi’s. enjoy!
You should definitely walk the high line http://www.thehighline.org/ It’s this amazing reuse of railroad space converted to greenery and pedestrian infrastructure.
