Hi everyone, I asked this a few years ago for a trip to New York that never happened (thanks, Covid) but it appears I will definitely be going in April. I’ve never been so I’m looking for some guidance, 
We have our standard tourist stuff to do but I’d appreciate some suggestions on:
     Good New York pizzeria pizza
     Good Jewish bagels (leaning toward Russ and Daughters)
     Which Midtown Comics location to visit, if any
     A really good, really Irish, Irish bar
     And a good local restaurant for nice non-seafood dinner with the wife        that won’t bankrupt me

Thanks in advance

You can't ever go wrong by stopping by the Society of Illustrators...It's a great museum. If the Mets or Yankees are home, take in a game if you can, just for the experience. If you have the time, venture out to Long Island as well...

Sorry John I’m a KC Royals fan, I cannot in good conscience spend a dime with the Yankees ( they’re on the road anyway). The Mets are in town, but they’re playing the even more goddamned St. Louis Cardinals, so hard no there. 

I’ll try that Illustration museum, time permitting

Russ and Daughters, absolutely and even more, Jim! My wife's grandfather used to have his button store next to it (back in the 80s), and we were all the time in Russ. It was fantastic then and now. 

For an Irish pub, I would hit McSorley's and/or the 11th Street Bar.

Pizza? John's of Bleecker. It's not just hype. It's the real deal.

McSorley’s definitely. For puzza, I strongly (STRONGLY) recommend Brunetti’s down on Hudson Street. Amazing stuff. It’s pretty much right at the southern end of the High Line Park, and only a couple of blocks from the Whitney. It’s also just a couple of doors down from a Swiss wine bar with a vibe I dig a lot.
