Foxface is also selling a few (for now) of their awesome breads; need to order in advance...https://foxface-provisions.square.site/

 

As Ken mentions, bakeries have exploded recently; it's the new wave in hipster-dom (I guess there were already enough ice cream shops).  

 

My favorites:  for French bread/baguettes - Le Fournil and Bread Story

 

For classic NY baked goods (like corn rye, black & whites, Kaiser rolls, etc. - Orawasher's

 

And a place with a very strange name...Breads Bakery.  Excellent rugelach, babka, etc.

 

Bagels - my favorite bagel place in the city now has a location in Manhattan; the original is out in Whitestone, Queens.  Utopia Bagels. (If you buy that rainbow bagel, please don't tell us anything about it, as it's a shonda).  And Bagel Bob's, right near Ken, isn't too shabby either. You won't be disappointed with the bagels at R & D Cafe, so no worries there.  Please do stay away from hipster bagels.

 

My favorite chocolates? Simple - Jacques Torres.

 

Delis? Oy...The NY experience is at Katz's, but beware - there will be lines. 

 

If you tell us a little more about what type of restaurants you might want to try, we can probably be a little more helpful. 

 

Foxface is great, and can be a bit challenging, food wise.  I really had some great food at Torrisi (but good luck getting in). Smithereen's, newish in the E. Village, is very good. As is Foul Witch, on Avenue A.  Balthazar is classic for a reason, and not just because of McNally's IG account. 

 

Uncle Lou will not disappoint for Cantonese cooking.

 

I've sent people to, and they've really enjoyed the food at Lola's, in NoMad.

 

In FiDi, Dead Rabbit will be your best bet for good cocktails.  I've also heard, but not yet been to, Peck Slip Social.

 

The Tin Building, by Jean Georges, is a fun wandering place.  Be amazed at all the products, and the prices as well. Much of the food is good enough.  Essex Market has the best cheese purveyor in the city, in my opinion - that's Formaggio Essex.  Lots to munch on there.
