M Bytz: Try everything -- especially tako (baby octopus), chicken skewers with plum sauce, and grilled rice cake. Slurp some ramen and sip a soju cocktail. Order more as you go and feel like you're in Tokyo,

M Bytz: Get one of the pasta specials, sip on a cup of vino, and enjoy the best, quickest inexpensive Italian in town.

M Bytz: Best Peruvian in NYC. Novo andino dishes like goat-cheese qinotto and inventive sushi criollo; superb pisco cocktails; and fantastic down-home favorites like arroz chifa and pollo a la brasa.

M Bytz: Unique, luscious takes on ramen. Try the fusion dishes and as many tapas as you can afford. When it's in season, the soju-spiked yuzu slushie is the most refreshing - and addictive - drink in town.

M Bytz: Must-have: Green curry fried rice with dried cranberries. Try the green noodle spicy salmon. Wash it down with a berry mojito. Ignore the over-the-top club music. Snap a picture of the bathroom sign.

M Bytz: The banana pudding is like crack. Don't get discouraged by the tourists -- it's still the real deal.

M Bytz: My favorite falafel -- and for only 2 bucks!

M Bytz: The Black Label - absolutely, hands-down, the finest burger I've ever eaten.

M Bytz: Peruvian-Chinese to perfection. Excellent chicharrones, dim sum and tallarines.

M Bytz: Order any of the seafood curries. Very good South Indian cuisine, infused with mustard seeds, curry leaf and chilis.

Gilt City: Cielo has featured more top international DJs than any other club in the U.S. It ranks number 37 in DJ magazine’s "Top 100 Clubs of the World."
