Blacktree Ltd
Guy calls Black Tree “hard core” because this spot takes its farm-to-table mantra very seriously. He feasts on the Winter Pig, a cheesy pork-belly sandwich that he likens to “an enormous roast-pork dinner … in a sandwich.” Menu items change with the seasons, but all have a reputation for tastiness.

Don Antonio
When New Yorkers and Italians call it the best pizza they’ve ever had, it has to be legit. Guy digs into the pistachio and sausage pizza fresh out of the wood-fired oven imported from Naples. He also can’t get enough of the Montanara Starita, a fried pizza with a smoky flavor and fluffy crust.

A '50s diner reborn with what Guy called a "scratch cooking gone wild" style, Lake Effect Diner even cures their own ham. Try upscale versions of old classics like blueberry pancakes, or expand your palate with the Italian-style Fish and a side of mac and cheese.

Pastabilities
Pastabilities is committed to super sauces, "baller" pizzas and a signature Central New York dish: Wicked Chicken Riggies, a spicy chicken rigatoni. If you go, Guy warns you to never, and he means never, pass up the hot tomato oil appetizer.

John's of 12th Street
At 103 years old, John's of 12th Street is a hidden Italian gem in NYC. According to Guy, the Marsala wine in the tender all-veal meatballs gives them a little sweetness that pairs well with the savory marinara. Guy found the Tuscan Ragu over Homemade Pappardelle to be irresistibly delicious.

Brindle Room
Former Chopped contestant Jeremy Spector lures locals to his spot with a scratch-made menu. The star is Sebastian’s Steakhouse Burger: a patty-cheddar-onion combo that Guy calls “dynamite.” The duck confit poutine made with hand-cut fries, cheese curds and, of course, duck confit, is also a hit.

Bunker Vietnamese
Bun-Ker Vietnamese may seem like it is in the middle of nowhere, but the trip is worth it for Vietnamese street foods that Guy could eat “till (his) head falls off.” This joint serves up Southeast Asian-style favorites like grilled pork chops and crispy crepe with bacon, shrimp and bean sprouts.

Come hungry to Jimmy's Diner and you'll leave satisfied. Guy thought the skillet apple waffle was "killer" and liked the salty-sweet combination of the pancetta and maple syrup.

The Sparrow Tavern
Even with its rock 'n' roll vibe, The Sparrow Tavern has a knack for fresh and healthy bar food. As Guy discovered on Triple D, The Sparrow Tavern has a righteous bacon and Brie burger. For the ultimate twist, try the super moist veggie burger -- the maple cayenne mayo is addictive.

Defonte's Sandwich Shop
Since 1922, this multigenerational old-school Italian deli in Brooklyn has been a local staple. Guy adored the tender steak pizzaiola with fresh mozzarella in the Sinatra Special. He called the thinly sliced roast beef, fried eggplant and mozzarella sandwich ridiculous and the real deal.

Gazala Place
Chef Gazala Halabi might work in a tiny New York kitchen. But her Druze dishes had Guy taking big bites. Move along, fluffy pita-bread lovers. Here, pita bread comes "New York Times thin." After kebabs and bourekas, save room for Osh Al-Saria, a creamy yogurt pudding made with orange and rosewater.

The Smoke Joint
In Fort Greene Brooklyn, The Smoke Joint is smoking up some seriously mouth-watering, succulent, fall off the bone 'cue. The short ribs are Brontosaurus-sized, and the Buffalo wings are funkified by smoking them first. It's a veritable melting pot of a barbecue joint, much like the city it's in.
