Chef Tour : NYC app for iPhone and iPad

Looking for a quick bite before your broadway show? Not the app for you. Precious designer cupcakes? Does that count as food?

This is real, stand-up food. The kind that chefs eat when theyre not the ones cooking. Taste the new York that you can only taste when youre in New York. A 4AM Grays dog, the best pastrami sandwich youve ever had in your life, a slice of pizza so good itll make you cry. These 36 places are where youll find the chefs after a grueling double shift on the sauté station, its the food that New Yorkers miss the most when theyre on vacation, food so good, thats been around so long, that youll never hear about it unless you ask a local.

And locals complain that were giving all their haunts away - screw em! They complain too much anyway. Who cares if youre in their way when youre walking through Times Square - theyre probably rushing by you to make sure they nab that last counter seat at Yasuda before you do (dont let em!)

This is food worth coming to New York for. Youve only got a few days, youd better make the most of them. Just 36 of the citys finest eats.
