Oh food whisperer now that you've mentioned coffee, would you know any other good coffee places that you'd reccomend?

You're pretty much right on all count there, michelleats. I'd suspect NY does do better thai and japan than Singapore. In Singapore, we're inundated with mediocre thai and japanese food, largely from chain restaurants.

Awesome thanks for the suggestions! Food trucks should prove especially enticing since we don't have any food trucks here in Singapore. And tacos too.

Thanks kathryn i haven't checked out either of those sites but they sound exactly like what he's looking for.

We're both from Singapore so all these foods are right up our alley =)

Hi! I've got a friend who is gonna be in manhattan working for a month and needs recommendations on places to eat at on a regular basis.

I'm not sure what prices of everyday food is like in the US, but if possible, he's looking for places to eat on a daily basis under $10 (but if its particularly awesome i'm sure he wouldn't mind shelling out more). His workplace is near grand central station and he will be staying at 330 E 65th Street.

Along with suggestions for affordable daily food, if you have any suggestions for awesome food places he should check out during his stay in NY then by all means just let me know =) he's not into fine dining but anything else shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!
