Looking for good areas for diverse food choices now that I'm working in the city. I usually stick with astoria since we have a bit of everything, and since I'm greek it's a perfect match. Anywhere else that sticks out for the nyc locals? I'm not a club guy so food is my motivator.

Yeah I learned that trick years ago with Mexican spots. I wouldn't say the good ethnic stuff is priced out. Astoria is loaded with choices. Greek, Arabic, Italian, mexican, asian, even friggin irish and serbian. All along the blocks off 31st st. In my experience it seems to be the most well rounded area in the city for variety and quality.

Best Italian is Da Claudio in Financial District
Really nice French is Bistro Vendome in Sutton Place
Best Filipino is Uni Nom near Pratt in Clinton Hill
Best Japanese is Brushstroke in Tribeca if you can afford it
Best German-Austrian is Eddie & The Wolf in East Village

Nice I want all the tips I can get. And btw, I'm not looking for Gordon ramsay pretentious 50000 dollar plate stuff. Something that a broke guy could go to a couple times a week type stuff. Sorta like kyklades in astoria if anyone is familiar with it. Not cheap, not a ripoff, and very good ethnic food. I find the best balance in Queens and parts of Brooklyn. Manhattan I don't even bother with. I'm sure the Bronx must be hiding some great italian spots. I wish I knew a Pizzaboy from the Bronx who could chime in here.......

Do they have any Cajun places up there? Serving boudin and cracklins? The only one I know an go to is Live bait, on -23rd St. they serve Dixie beer also. Not sayin it's the best but it's a inexpensive joint for good Cajun. There is another I have been to on third or park so. But I can't remember the name of that joint.

Best German-Austrian is Eddie & The Wolf in East Village Very nice, I hope my people do not request these places, kinda pricey. I have been to Edi in alphabet city but prefer Lorilie.

That serbian place I mentioned is a bar now, so there goes that. However I did find a good spot off 32nd street near Broadway in astoria. It's called bahari. It's a greek spot (big shock there).
