I am looking for tiny (hole in the wall) ethnic restaurants in NYC.?

By hole-in-the wall, I am referring to the place where the guy who cooks is the guy who owns the place and his wife is the only staff he has besides his kids who hang out there. If you have ever been to Baltimore, Eastern Avenue would be a good example for Hispanic food.I am looking for tiny (hole in the wall) ethnic restaurants in NYC.?
I went to an Hindu Restaurant in Woodside New York, it is on Queens Blvd and 36th Ave near the Bank, the bus stop is in the corner, you can ask someone over there, I do not remenber exactly the name but is something like INDIA PALACE, really good enviroment and excellent food and service, My daughter had Lamb with tomato sauce and herbs and I had Chicken just with Curry delicious.Also across street there is a Greek Restaurant.

In Little Italy (Manhattan) there is a restaurant called The Luna, great Italian food...on Mott St. (Chinatown) is Wo Hops. In each area you will find GREAT restaurants in each borrough.
then visit the actual ethnic neighborhoods in Queens, uptown, the Bronx, Chinatown and Little Italy.
The main ethnic neighborhoods for great little ethnic restaurants are in Queens (said by the US Census Bureau to be the most ethnically diverse county in the entire USA), especially the communities of Flushing and Woodside. For the Bronx, around 180 St and Grand Concourse. In Brooklyn, Flatbush (e.g. Afghan, Mexican and Uzbek, all in a couple blocks near Cortelyou on Coney Island Avenue). In Manhattan, Chinatown and both Harlem and Spanish Harlem. Also, around 72 St and Broadway, going uptown from there on Bway.
Tottono's has the best pizza in NYC. Its in Brooklyn at Coney Island and they've been open since the 30s, I think. In Manhattan, Minar, on 31stSt and Fifth Ave has delicious Southern Indian food, but they're only open for lunch.
If you like Indian food, go to East 6th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Very authentic, and there's a whole line of restaurants.



For authentic Italian food, go to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, NOT little italy.
