  1. Rank 1. AbuQir

    At this Astoria seafood counter, fish arrive so fresh they stare back before the griddle claims them in smoke and wheat bran crust. The tagine swells with shrimp the size of blossoms, the pita exhales steam, and even the rice glows with seafood stock.

  2. Rank 2. Kunafa Bites

    A dessert cart stationed at the Astoria–Ditmars subway platform fries kunafa to order, the shredded-phyllo pastry crackling and warm from the oil. It stays open until midnight, which means you can satisfy a 11 p.m. craving for honey-soaked carbs on your way home.
