Alternatively you can just randomly try a local restaurant, especially if you are in an ethnic enclave such as Chinatown. A good way to judge the authenticity is just to look at the patrons, if they are local; chances are the food is authentic.
Cafes and Desserts
As the hundreds of cafes and bakeries dotting the streetscape would suggest, New Yorkers love their coffee.
