Authentic Eats In NYC

Danielle asked today for a few authentic ethnic restaurants to take out of towners to. Here's what I got:

Italian: From my research, one of the best places in Little Italy appears to be Angelo Of Mulberry (146 Mulberry). The only place I've been to there is Umberto's Clam House (178 Mulberry) which was good too. For desert, Ferrara's is an M-U-S-T! Their cannoli's ROCK!

Chinese: If you want to go to Chinatown, try Joe's Shanghai (9 Pell St.). Joe's is best known for it's soup dumplings.

Korean: Do Hwa (55 Carmine) The atmosphere is more hip NY, but the food here is authentic down to the Ban Chan (6-8 small side dishes) served with meal. Request a table with a grill if you want to grill your own food. The kimchi pancakes are to die for!

Jewish Deli: 2nd Avenue Deli (156 Second Ave) or Katz's Deli (205 E. Houston) of When Harry Met Sally fame.
