Well Joanne i know some places cause i live here but the places i usually go to eat are restaurants from my country (i'm, peruvian) but if you want i can get some information for you.
No Thanx, Tryin' 2 stay outta' NY all2gethor, my EX Wife is there, the only reason I'd go there is to get my younger son back from the crazy witch lol. It's funny, cuz' we haven't been thru the divorce yet, and she seems 2 think she can file it in NY when we were married in OH. muwhahha!! Serves her right for sleeping with 6 guys in 4 days, 3 in my apartment while I was away. NEwho, wish I knew of some places, but IDK anything about NY, have fun & Have a safe trip!!!!
Ok although I resided in Westchester, I commuted to Manhattan a good ten years and for fun, hit the Korean owned salad bars. Hot and cold delights, both healthy and lean and some exotic, they are super clean, great selection and variety and good value for money. I always enjoy them and the best are on Fifth Avenue near Grand Central Station in the 40's East Side.
China Town ...you can't go wrong eating at the local spots where the natives eat. Steamed and baked pork buns, dried duck, stir fried veggies and steamed brown rice..YUM.
And why not hit Cosmetics Plus on 44 off of 5th Avenue near Lord & Taylor..great discounts on Chanel, Lancome make up etc
Filene's Basement, Bloomingdales, have fun girls..oh, and don't forget Macy's Herald Square. And last but not least, go to Times Square for half half price theatre tickets. You only wait on long for about an hour and for a good Broadway or off Broadway show its well worth the wait.
I could list a few places, but the thing I would suggest (if your in NYC at the right time) is to take "Big Onions" Multi-Ethinic eating tour. As the tour description says: "A tour that mixes history and gastronomy on the multi-ethnic Lower East Side. Learn about the Jewish East Side, Little Italy and Chinatown as we nosh our way through the neighborhood sampling foods traditional to the Dominican Republic, Eastern Europe, China, Italy, and more."

Anyone know of any reasonable places to grab a bite to eat in Manhattan?
We would probably want to experience a real NY deli and a restaurant in Chinatown.
We like everything pretty much.
Anyone from there or been there and know the ins and outs?
Thank guys, going in July.
Joanne
