Ugh. More restaurant recommendations? (just 1 more, please?) (Hudson, Russia: house, theatre)

[MisterCali]

... I know, I know. Not another one. But, if you'd care to share your opinions I'd love to get recommendations on:

• Favorite restaurants in Chelsea (or a short Uber away) -- including any late night options
• Favorite spots in the Chelsea Market
• Favorite Indian or Pakistani restaurants anywhere in Manhattan and/or Queens
• Best ramen spot (Ippudo, Momofuku... somewhere else?)
• Favorite spots in the theatre district for pre or post-theatre dinner?
• Favorite lesser-appreciated "ethnic" cuisine spots (you know, something less common than the usual Italian, French, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Korean)
• Your favorite special-night-out, worth-splurging-on spot you'd take your out of town friends out to for a memorable meal -- anywhere in Manhattan (keep it under $100/person).

I posted this question on another messageboard, so sorry if you've read this twice.

• Favorite restaurants in Chelsea (or a short Uber away) -- including any late night options

No idea, I don't remember the last time I was in Chelsea despite working in Midtown and living in both SoHo and Lower East Side for so many years.

• Favorite spots in the Chelsea Market

Ditto, always seemed overly expensive. I have been there once in my lifetime.

• Favorite Indian or Pakistani restaurants anywhere in Manhattan and/or Queens

There are amazing Indian restaurants in Jackson Heights, but I can't suggest any particular one as I hop around a lot. In Manhattan, I've been looking. There's one on Essex St I've been meaning to try. There's also a really good one in Hudson Heights near 187th and Fort Washington, but you probably don't want to travel that far. Pakistani, there was a deli in SoHo off of Crosby St near Houston I used to go to that was amazing, but I haven't been over there in years.

• Best ramen spot (Ippudo, Momofuku... somewhere else?)

Shinya Shokudo is the best ramen I've ever had in my life. 52nd st from 12:30a - 4:30a only. Better than anything I've ever had in Japan and I've gone 4 times in the last two years. He actually makes his ramen spicy, true ramen is bland (still rich in flavor) unless you go to Hokkaido. He knows his ***** haha, and is from Hokkaido.

• Favorite spots in the theatre district for pre or post-theatre dinner?

Lan Shang, Cafe China, **** and Bull, and sometimes Bar Bacon and Russian Vodka House (I think it's called). I work just south of the Theatre District and these places I like. **** and Bull might be a bit bland, but I thoroughly enjoy it.

• Favorite lesser-appreciated "ethnic" cuisine spots (you know, something less common than the usual Italian, French, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Korean)

Cafe Himalaya. Himalayan and Malaysian food in general is really good. There's a Malaysian food place in Chinatown that's really good, but I forget its name.

• Your favorite special-night-out, worth-splurging-on spot you'd take your out of town friends out to for a memorable meal -- anywhere in Manhattan (keep it under $100/person).

Chelsea?
I used to love EAST OF EIGTH but they closed.

Jackson Diner in Jackson Heights for Indian. Best time is before 4PM to take advantage of variety of dishes at the buffet. The Lobster Place at the Chelsea Market. Aladdin Bangladeshi restaurant in Astoria, Queens. Favored by lots of taxi drivers. Temporarily closed until mid-June.
