    1. Mac and Cheese from Murray's Cheese Bar

    Fall is mac 'n' cheese season, and Murray's version is one of the best you'll find in the five boroughs. You'll find it on the menu garnished with anything from pastrami to buffalo chicken, and there's even a breakfast version, topped with a poached egg.

    2. Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal from Oatmeals

    Sticking a spoon into this oatmeal — a sweet blend of pumpkin puree, pecans, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and milk — is basically eating pie for breakfast.

    3. Chicken Parmesan Hero from Parm

    With four locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, you're never too far from getting your hands on Parm's dangerously cheesy namesake sandwich.

    4. Babka from Breads Bakery

    Not that there's ever a bad time to devour some babka, this chocolate-and-cinnamon-braided bread tastes exponentially better paired with sweater weather and hot cocoa.

    5. Brussels Sprout and Pancetta Pizza from Motorino

    instagram.com

    The saddest day of the year is when Motorino takes its famous Brussels sprout pizza off the menu. This white pie — topped with fior di latte, garlic, pecorino, smoked pancetta, and olive oil — is how all pizza should taste during the fall.

    6. Spicy Cumin Lamb Noodles from Xi'an Famous Foods

    minnieats / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    With locations in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, you have no excuse not to try Xian's best-selling dish: Hand pulled noodles topped with cumin-spiced lamb and the chain's secret "noodle sauce."

    7. Ricotta Ravioli in Brown Butter, Sage, and Truffle Oil from Celeste

    nycdining / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Head to this little-known gem on Manhattan's upper west side and order the homemade ravioli, stuffed with light and airy ricotta, and topped with a savory-sweet sauce of brown butter and sage.

    8. Chopped Cheese Sandwich from White Gold Butchers

    instagram.com

    Part butcher shop and part restaurant, this upper west side spot knows a thing or two about meat. Think of the chopped cheese sandwich as New York's version of the Philly cheesesteak. You're gonna want to try it.

    9. Pizza Bagel from Black Seed Bagels

    hotspothunter / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Why settle for cream cheese and lox when you can start your day with a bagel topped with fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, and spicy pepperoni?

    10. Duck Agnolotti from Fusco

    fusconewyork / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Chilly weather calls for hearty comfort food, just like Fusco's rich pasta squares filled with duck and foie gras.

    11. Any raclette from Raclette

    nyc_sweetmates / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Never heard of raclette? It's an Swiss dish that's basically a bunch of food (you know, potatoes, steak, cornichons, and baguette) all smothered with melted Alpine cheese.

    12. Stuffed Cabbage from Veselka

    kac.food / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    This East Village mainstay is open 24/7, so should you find yourself craving a Ukrainian meal of fried potato pierogis and stuffed cabbage at 3 a.m., you're in luck.

    13. Cinnamon Bun BEC (Bacon, Egg, and Cheese) from Mile End Deli

    jeaniuseats / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Runny yolk + crispy bacon + cinnamon buns = pure bliss.

    14. Banana Bread with Espresso Mascarpone from Two Hands Cafe

    eatingnyc / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    If this delectable banana bread isn't enough to get you down to Two Hands Cafe on Mott St., it's also a cozy, art-lined space with hot Australian baristas.

    15. Peking Duck from Decoy

    instagram.com

    It's a bit of a splurge, but the $78 Peking duck — which comes with consomme shots, pancakes, and a trio of dipping sauces — can easily nourish a hungry table.

    16. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup from Beecher's Handmade Cheese

    sonjasierra / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Grilled cheese and tomato soup go together better than flannel button-downs and pumpkin spice lattes.

    17. Lamb Tagine from Claudette

    hungrynyc / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Dinner doesn't get much more comforting than this lamb shank tagine, served over couscous with lots of North African spices.

    18. Soup Dumplings from Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao

    32. Karaka-men from Ippudo

    sriracha2go / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Ippudo might be one of the few places on the planet where waiting in line for two hours is always worth it. Topped with thick-cut pork belly, hot spices, and garlic oil, you'll be dreaming about this bowl.

    33. Duck Carnitas from Cosme

    grams_by_ram / Instagram / Via instagram.com

    Cosme's enormous duck carnitas are worth the big-ticket price tag. The bird is cooked overnight to crispy, juicy perfection, then topped with onions, radish, and lime. You're gonna want more tortillas.

    34. S'mores Cookie from Chip
