I’m traveling to New York City this week for work. Any favorite restaurant or local ‘must trys’? I am staying a couple extra nights so I’ll have a little bit of time. The 9/11 museum and a Yankee game are already booked.
New York Musts? Is that a sports team
Yea the last time they won the World Series was 1986
Theres a kick ass Pastrami sandwich place but am forgetting the name..
If you mean the famous one, it's Katz deli but OP should go off peak hrs
Go to Barcelona bar in midtown. They have some wacky drinks there
there are a few big-name delis you could hit up: Katz's and Sarge's come to mind. eat food from a halal cart. get a slice of dollar pizza (specifically dollar pizza); it's trash and you must eat it immediately to hide that bad taste but it's peak new york. met someone from a programming discord at Ulysses in the financial district, good beer & burgers. dick around in times square and Broadway. don't go to the museum of modern art, go to the met instead. Lincoln center film society is another good spot.
Go to the beer garden and the skybar at the standard in Chelsea. You can walk there on the high line.

Thanks for the great ideas everyone!
Get a bagel at ess-a-bagel. Go really early otherwise line gets very long. Try some street cart food, not necessarily a food truck though those are good too, chicken/lamb over rice. ETA: Oh and how can I forget. It’ll be hot and humid again next week so make sure to take the subway and experience the smells that come with it :) ETA2: After you’re done with the 9/11 museum and hopefully the one world observatory for a great view of the city, you can walk over to the waterfront at battery park for a decent view of Jersey City/Brooklyn. If you walk in the opposite direction a longer walk will take you to Chinatown. Walking across the Brooklyn bridge is fun and can then head over to the promenade for a great view of downtown Manhattan. There is a ferry you can take back to Manhattan. Also there are various options to take a cruise around Manhattan and some of those go right up to the Statue of Liberty and go towards the Verrazano bridge. Those tours take a few hours. Can also take the Staten Island ferry for a good view of Statue of Liberty.
