From dim sum in Chinatown to soul food in Harlem and everything in between, visitors can satisfy their cravings for the cuisines of the world without leaving New York City – or even the island of Manhattan (though most of those in the know will agree that city's best ethnic food can be found in the outer boroughs). You don't have to break the bank, either; there are dining options for every budget. You name it, New York has it –five-star restaurants, celebrity chefs, local seasonal fare, brick-oven pizza, smoky barbecue, good old American comfort food and much more.
