While I realize I'm a bit of a foodie (not a food snob at all though I love cheap *&@^), there are a lot of terrible suggestions in this thread. To each their own when it comes to taste, but quality food is quality food. I am going to compile you a list if I get a chance

Flor De Mayo is great also. its kind of cramped but you cant beat this place.
Hit this up for some authentic Caribbean cuisine. Or hit up the chimichurri (chimi) spots: Jerome, Dyckman, etc.

Take ya girl to Chinatown, try to pick out a place that looks decent and you should be good money. NYC chinese food is the way to go for cheap & nice meals.

Someone please put me on a spot I can go grab food near Times Square similar to ESPN Zone before they closed
Still have yet to find somewhere with a milkshake close to what ESPN Zone had

Just to suggest something different since you're from out of town...if you haven't ever had it, korean fried chicken is amazing...it's pretty expensive (about $20 for a plate of 20 wings), and takes them like 30-40 min for them to make it, but if you don't mind the price, it's worth it imo, probably my favorite food...place is: bon chon on 5th btwn 32nd and 33rd
Another somewhat unique spot in the city - clinton st bakery on the lower east side (clinton st and houston)....if ur willing to wait 1-2 hrs for blueberry pancakes w/ maple butter syrup check that out. not a bad place to go w/ a girl for bunch, but it gets very crowded at times and the wait is almost always long
the standard, shake shack burger (og is madison sq park, but theres 4 other locations now - the tribeca/world trade center area one on murray st is usually the least crowded), grimaldis pizza (bk bridge), katz deli (lower east side), 53rd and 6th halal cart (midtown) are cliche/touristy, and there's gonna be lines, but the food at all those places is all very good, and they are unique to nyc. if you don't want to wait you should probably avoid all the places i just mentioned though.
my best advice is, you should probably just figure out which parts of the city u wanna see (soho, west village, chelsea, etc.) or figure out a few things you want to do, and lookup or ask about restaurants in those areas, there's a billion different places to eat here

amishpimp.. have you ever had Mad for Chicken before it closed down? I swear they had the best korean fried chicken. Had to put my out-of-town homies on to it and they been fienin' ever since.
also, if you like korean bbq.. I strongly suggest Kun Jip. Joint is so bangin I even brought my parents there.

im not a NYer, but I do enjoy going to NYC just to eat. Some of the spots I enjoy.
Crif Dogs in East Village if you enjoy a different hot dog. Extra bonus, you can walk through the phone booth to PDT and grab a drink (assuming you can get in).
Porchetta also in East Village (i think). I had my first experience with Porchetta when I was in Florence, IT. It may sound blasphemous, but the porchetta at PORCHETTA, NYC was better than the porchetta I had in Italy. If you dont know what it is, its basically a whole roast pig that is hollowed out, then stuffed with herbs, spices, and the offal. Pure crack, and is absolutely amazing.
its been said before but Halal Cart. Not just hype.

This thread makes me miss NY.
A buddy of mine stays in the Washington Heights area and the restaurants are great. There's this steak joint called El Conde on Broadway that's got some amazing skirt steak for only $24. One order is enough for two people.
