Last but not least, the most important information, FOOD!
Restaurant
1. Lugo Cucina
Address 1 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY
Website http://www.ldvhospitality.com/brands/lugo-cucina-italiana/
My friend and I chose this restaurant due to its convenient location to us, and we really loved the pizza, pasta! Wheelchair accessible entrance is W 34th St side.
2. Dos Caminos
Address 825 Third Avenue at 50th St, New York, NY
Website http://www.doscaminos.com/
It’s difficult to find a good Mexican restaurant in Japan, so I always enjoy them in the US. I liked fish tacos at Dos Caminos. Regarding wheelchair accessibility, the door is heavy.
Outside seats are accessible, but inside seats are not accessible because of stairs and high chairs.
3. Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant
Address 89 E 42nd St, New York, NY
Website http://www.oysterbarny.com/
This is a signature restaurant in Grand Central Terminal. If you like oysters, I highly recommend this place. I believe their branch restaurant is in Shinagawa, Tokyo.
4. Cull & Pistol Oyster Bar
Address 75 9th Ave, New York, NY
Website http://lobsterplace.com/pages/restaurant-welcome
The restaurant is Inside of Chelsea market. My friends and I had a clambake of littleneck clams, lobster, mussels, shrimp and so on. Super delicious!
5. Friedman’s Restaurant
Address 132 W 31st St, New York, NY

Very popular and crowded even on weekdays, but it is worth waiting. I had a ram burger for the first time and I loved it a lot.:)
6. Shake Shack

This fast food has a branch in Japan, but I haven’t been ones before. I loved the crunchy fries…!
Cafe (Bakery)
1. Sullivan Street Bakery

You will enjoy their high quality breads. I will definitely come back again! The bakery is small but has a wheelchair accessible entrance.
2. Breads Bakery
Address 18 E 16th St, New York, NY

CHOCOLATE BABKA is a must-try. It is their signature bread! You won’t regret. Again, I will definitely come back. 🙂
3. La Colombe Coffee Roasters

Famous bakery in Little Italy. You can try three desserts at one time!
5. Empire Cake

You might think of cup cakes when you think about New York. Try some at Empire Cake! I really liked their red velvet cupcake as well as how they decorate the shop.
6. CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice
Address 33 St Marks Pl, New York, NY

If it is too hot outside, go get a bubble tea and cool down!
It is good to find a good place to eat in advance, however it is also a great experience to try ones you find while you are going around. I hope you explore, experience, and enjoy New York City!
The End.
