"Go as early as possible (although you'll still have to wait) for the most amazing ramen and pork buns in NYC."

"Long wait for good reason: Inexpensive, good food that feels like home."

"Always a good pie. Plus, how can you not stop by America's first pizzeria? If you haven't tried it, the original (mozzarella, tomato and basil) is the way to go."

"Yes, it's a long wait, but it's worth it. Make sure to head to the back of the restaurant and watch them toss the pies into the coal oven."

"Yes, the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate lives up to its praise. If you love peanut butter, chocolate and bananas, you have to get the "Can't Say No" Sundae. Go for dinner elsewhere."

"The beer tour isn't super-exciting (it's kind of lame). Go for the beer: Buy the wooden tokens in exchange for brews. Try the seasonal or limited-edition ones, if available. Order in food."
