(CNN) -- Welcome to New York City. Hope you packed your appetite.





We're not claiming these are the definitive "best," "most essential," or "most authentic" restaurants in all of NYC or any of that jazz. We are just saying that if it were us in town for a few days, these are the places we'd make a beeline for to eat, drink and generally be delighted.





Not a fan of our faves? Well, OK then. Just send us a DM or a note @eatocracy on Twitter, let us know where you are, and we'll find you some food to suit your mood.





Have a delicious stay.





Terroir | Tribeca  Address: 24 Harrison St. Phone: 212.625.9463  Website: http://www.wineisterroir.com/  Categories: Downtown, Bar, Eat at the bar  Solo Dining: Yes Tip: Three words: Riesling on tap. It may be touted as a wine bar, but the food is killer. Chicken liver and lardo bruschette are life-changers.





Caracas Arepa Bar  Address: 93 1/2 East 7th St.  Phone: 718.218.6050 or 212.529.2314  Website: http://www.caracasarepabar.com  Categories: Downtown  Tip: For a taste of Venezuela, chomp into one of these stuffed corn-flour arepas. Feeling indecisive? Try the La Popular sampler of three different, traditional varieties.





Otto Enoteca Pizzeria  Address: 1 Fifth Ave.  Phone: 212.995.9559  Website: http://www.ottopizzeria.com/  Categories: Downtown, Celebrity chef, Eat at the bar  Solo Dining: Yes Tip: Order some antipasti at Mario Batali's casual pizzeria while you wait on his thin-crusted creations. Runny yolk fans opt for the Pane Frattau -- a pie with a sunnyside-up egg in the center. The house-made olive oil gelato is the ultimate sweet-savory ending.





Gramercy Tavern  Address: 42 East 20th St.  Phone: 212.477.0777  Website: http://www.gramercytavern.com/  Categories: Gramercy/Flatiron, Date night  Solo Dining: Yes Tip: It's one of the New York's most beloved restaurants -- and for good reason with its luxurious yet homey atmosphere.
