Best Pizza, Best Pastrami, Best Chinese?

I'll be in Queens and Manhattan this weekend for some fun. It's been many years since I been there. Craving some great NY pizza and pastrami, Chinese food, and what the hell, some bagels, too.
Any recommendations?
 
katz is in the lower east side - google it, but i believe off of 1st ave?

Best pizza - debatble, but I love joe's pizza - 7 Carmine Street
best chinese - just go to china town (which is "canal street"). Walk around and go in a place where there are a lot of people. I've always liked big wongs.. yeah, quote me.. that's the name of the restaurant, not my choice in extra curricular activity. it's not fancy but i love their duck and ribs.. joe's shanghai has delicious pork dumplings..

fixed. for pizza just google you will see a ton of choice near your area. to me the quality varies but they are all very good.
 
i've eaten in lots of great places in NYC ... can't tell you where, though. i always had friends who live there drive me around.

But they're delicious!

ha.. I never speak the name of the restaurant out loud, for that very reason..
 
lombardi's for best pizza. go to shake shack best burgers in the world and i live next door to an in n' out.
 
It's not exactly Chinese, but I can strongly recommend Mooncake for some pan-Asian satisfaction. Their signature dish is the miso-glazed salmon over brown rice (comes with a salad with a nice mango dressing).

On Thursdays they have three lobster tails in a pine nut butter garlic sauce... DELICIOUS.

There are two locations - I frequent the one down near my job in Soho.

Also, juniors in Brooklyn for breakfast/brunch. THe cheesecake is where it's at, but breakfast comes with free pastries

haven't eaten at katz's yet, but carnegie deli on 55th and broadway was seriously delicious.

big wong's is alright, but chinatown is def the place to go. joe's shanghai is delicious for their pork soup dumplings.

best pizza - difara's in brooklyn, but i haven't eaten there in forever. had lombardis too and that was freaking delicious and much easier to get to.

I thought shake shack was a tourist trap?

I like Joe's shanghai, just because it was walkling distance from my office.
 
corner bistro in the village has yummy burgers, I can't say "best" because i haven't been to most of the well reviewed places.. burger joint or twin burger, or somethign like that.. in a hotel? fuzzy memory, but it's supposed to be superb
 
And Peter Lugers steakhouse is awesome. the original is in Williamsburg, but reservations are hard to come by. Try going to the sister restaurant in Great Neck (border of queens and l.I.). - same quality food, easier to get reservations. you don't get the gruff/old time waiters but it's delicious steak!
 
What are you doing in Queens? Don't get mugged. Still hate that place... and I grew up there.
 
for burgers, bouley upstairs is serving up some flat bread burger (think cozi but burger) that's pretty tasty. large portion of very juicy meat. not your average american burger though, it's sauced with some pretty sour yogert type of thing and fresh cucumber. but definitely give it a try, might be hard to get things like that outside of NYC.
