Simply Pasta is so good... It's right on 41st street..just a bit down from RENT. I think it's between 6th and 7th. It's a really great, resonable restaurant. And it's pretty quick too!

Come over, sugar. I live in the hood and I cook for money.

If you like good Jewish cooking, Ben's Kosher Deli/Restuarant is in the neighborhood. (It can't be strictly kosher, though, because it's open on Saturdays.)

ohh theres so many good resturants on 42nd Street!! You shouldn't have a problem finding one! =-D

Oh yeah, 42nd Street is loaded with restuarants: MacDonald's, Pizza Hut, Blimpie's, Subway, Burger King. You can knock yourself out on fastfood! You might even be able to find KrispyKremes there!

Oh, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

um to mention a good one: Applebees

Ah yes, Applebee's--not really fastfood, just moderately fast.

New York has so many great restuarants, why should someone settle for a chain restaurant that that can be found in every American city?

I hear the Starbucks on 42nd Street is really good, too.

Thanks for your replies, but not looking for a "chain" restaurant -been to Virgils. What's that good restaurant on 8th or 9th with the good flavored margaritas??

Not interested in beer and pork? Oh well...
Old San Juan on 9th Ave (around 51st St-about 10 blocks North) is one of the best Latino restaurants around. Haven't tried their margaritas, I'm more of a cervesa guy myself, but seriously, you can't go wrong here.
765 9th Ave. 212-262-7013

Ninth Avenue has lots of good places. If you head into the W. 30s, not too far from Rent, I like Market Cafe and Supreme Macaroni. And Cupcake Cafe is nearby for something sweet. Ninth Avenue west of 42nd Street has a stretch of pretty decent, reasonably priced restaurants of just about every food type, all the way up to 54th Street.
