Quick in New York

10 places for Quick in New York, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Prince Street Pizza — ur mom ashley, Beatrice Richer
  She recommended it as a top New York pizza spot, saying its popularity is well-earned.
  Heads up: She doesn't personally enjoy pizza, so this isn't a firsthand assessment.
• Joe's Pizza — Beatrice Richer, Jon Barr
  Greasy with cheese that stretches for days—exactly the New York slice they'd always imagined—and gave it a perfect 10.
  Heads up: The line is very long, and there are definitely tastier slices to be found elsewhere in New York.
• LOS TACOS No.1 — Beatrice Richer
  Rated it among the best tacos they've ever had.
• Hamburger America — TOPJAW
  Raved that the Oklahoma-style fried onion burger, with onions mixed into the patty and cooked precisely for 6-7 minutes, is tender and distinctive.
  Heads up: It's a casual counter-order setup.
• Grand Street Skewer Cart — National Geographic
  Praised the lamb skewers as juicy with a subtle dusting of chili and cumin for great flavor, calling them 'by far the highlight.'
  Heads up: Comes straight off the grill, so it's very hot.
• Jin Mei Dumpling — TOPJAW
  Highlighted the crispy texture from one side being seared hard, and the great value at 33 cents apiece.
  Heads up: There's a line every day, and 15 dumplings is a lot to eat alone.
• Cheong Fun Cart — TOPJAW
  Said the big, chewy rice rolls paired with peanut sauce and chili were really delicious.
  Heads up: It's a nameless street cart, making it hard to find the exact name.
• Best Pizza — TOPJAW
  Praised for making their own mozzarella to control salt and moisture, and for baking unusually large pies for a slice shop in a wood-fired oven.
• The New York Hot Dog King — National Geographic
  Praised as cheap and fast, with the jumbo hot dog's juiciness contrasting nicely with the tang of the sauerkraut, calling it one of the best hot dogs in New York.
  Heads up: A street cart in front of the Met with no seating, so you eat standing up.
• Gray's Papaya — Jon Barr
  Wildly cheap prices — one hot dog for $3.25, two plus a tropical drink for $6.95 — and it's a New York institution over 50 years old. Coffee plus a breakfast sandwich for $3 might be the cheapest breakfast in Manhattan.
  Heads up: There's no seating whatsoever and the setup is very bare-bones; while the breakfast menu is cheap, a neighborhood bodega might be better for a dollar or two more.
