New York City residents don't all agree to the boundaries for Alphabet City, an area north of The Bowery and East of 'The Village'. The purists can argue for lifetimes especially about the role East Houston Street plays separating the Lower East Side from Alphabet City. But one thing just about all New Yorkers can agree to is that Katz's Delicatessen (send a salame to your boy in the army) is the quintessential New York eating experience. Prices are a lot higher than in 1888 but you won't find a better french frie in all the land- and even vegetarians can fill up and enjoy.
A few doors over-is Yonah Schimmel Knishes there are no words to describe these knishes New York City made since 1910!
Full? well head uptown and on Avenue A to about 3rd Street and stop in to Downtown Yarns and don't forget knitting is not for women only. In fact, in New York men who knit and knit in public get the same kind of attention as men who walk those adorable dogs that make women stop and talk. You might want to tuck your knitting into a 'manly' bag when you walk past the Hells Angel's New York City headquarters at 77 East Third- or not, who knows this is New York, betcha there's a meetup group called bikers who knit or angels who purl.

Don't forget the NYU area- there are SO MANY great places to eat. My top 2 favorite are Chinatown & The Yaffa Cafe. Chinatown is an UPSCALE chinese restaurant. It's actually a duplex with the bottom welcoming guests to a pond filled with coy and a shnazzy bar with delicious drinks. The Yaffa Cafe is a squishy little restaurant- but be careful you don't miss it when you're walking on the sidewalk because you'll have to take a few steps down to get to it. They have great carrot ginger dressing for their salads too!
