What to do when hungry in NY

I just got back from a quick business trip to New York. Living in San Francisco we are not deprived of much in the way of food choices. However, there are a few tasty items that are better eaten East of the Hudson. Here are my favs:

Black and White cookies
Knishes (potato and kasha)
Pizza by the slice
Cannoli
Yo0hoo (available elsewhere but not in the small glass bottles)
Chuckles
Cheescake
Corned Beef with Dr. Browns Black Cherry soda (preferably at the 2nd Ave Deli)
bagels
Calzone
Biali (for an interesting book on this bagel relative by the NY Times food writer see http://tinyurl.com/afu3e)
Dunkin Donuts

Any other thoughts?

How about:
hot pretzel and/or chestnuts from a street vendor
Sabrett hot dog (what is in that water???)
anything from Zabar's but especially bakery goods like rugelach or kichel or cheese
something automatic from Horn and Hardarts
chow mein sandwich from Nathan's
any Drakes cakes (Yodel, Yankee Doodle, Ring Ding, Funny Bone, Devil Dog, Coffee Cake)

chow mein sandwich? I never saw that one...

Crappy coffee is one thing I DON'T miss from the east. ("You want that regular?") Or buttered rolls for breakfast. Ugh. But if you're nostalgic, check this out: http://www.wearehappytoserveyou.com/
