Hmmm, depends on the season and the experience you want. In winter, there is nothing like roasted chestnuts, coconut slices, cashews, or peanuts form a street vendor. They are so warm and toasty while you walk. If you are brave, a hot dog cart eaten on the steps of any of the big buildings while you people watch is such fun! If you are near Lexington, look up The Soup Man. When I worked in the city, we used to get a whole bunch of different soups and taste little samples of each. YUM! Pricey, but you only live onec!
AS for the restaurants, well, the options are simply endless! I'm so sorry Windows on the World is no longer there. That was a beautiful place.
You can do a search and find famous sit-down resturants like the Seinfeld diner, the Italian place from Moonstruck, and if you want to Trek to North Jersey, the Diner where Tony Soprano was shot.
For cultures try Chinatown, Little Italy, or any of the different little "themes".
Long story short, anything you could possibly want for food, you can find someplace in the city.
