Tamarind balls and nice service.
Whole Earth Bakery and Kitchen
Whole Earth Bakery and Kitchen - 130 St. Marks Place
A cute little vegan bakery and mini deli. The guy behind the counter is really nice (and always offers a taste of the smoothie currently being blended.) The foods a little pricey, but not unreasonably for the area. And hey - it's vegan, so that's nifty/neat. The vegan pizza's tasty - although don't expect regular pizza taste - rather, it's crunchy, chewy, with a taste all its own. Oh - and try the snowball sweets - deep, rich chocolate, unlike the snowballs found in the junkfood isle.

Waikkiki Wally's
Waikiki Wally's - 101 E. 2nd St (1st Avenue and Avenue A) - Hawaii Fusion
More an alphabet city haunt - and probably not that authentic. But a fun establishment, brought to you by the people who own Lucky Cheng's. I'm personally fond of Waikiki Wally's - with an appreciation of its two great claims to fame: 1) It's only one of two places where I know I can find Poke. 2) Their Coconut Kiss drink is positively great!

Village Mingala
Village Mingala - 21 E. 7th Street (Burmese)
One of the only Burmese restaurants in NYC. At first glance, it looks like it will be a quasi regular haunt of mine. Small, but classy interior (and right next to Brewskis, which is great if you like gourmet beer.) So far, I've had only one thing - the green tea leaf salad, which was wonderful and different from anything I've had with other cuisines. So - go!

Veniero's
Veniero's - 342 E. 11th Street (Italian Pastries)
A spectacular Italian bakery - filled to the brim with rich cannolis, pastries and tons of delicious (sinful) treats. Though I've known the place for only 15 years, the place has been a NYC institution for over a century. With that kind of track record, you have to go and try a pastry...at least once!

Sushi Lounge
Sushi Lounge - 132 Saint Mark's Place (Avenue A) (Japanese)
A competant sushi joint, located in Alphabet City (on Avenue A). Similar to Sushi Park, the Lounge offers 50% off on sushi (though with a $10 minimum, after rebate.) The rolls seem decent, including a few tasty veggie rolls (such as natto, squash and pickle.) Not quite as yummy as nearby Avenue A Sushi - but if you buy enough, the rebate makes for a decent bargain.
