I've not been there myself, but apparantly Katz Deli is a must visit place.

Best place we ate in Vegas was Tacos el Gordo. Just past The Wynn / Encore on the right hand side. Amazing Taco's for not much money at all

Cheers, have spent a lot of time in Vegas but never been to that taco place. Will have clocked up over a month there by the end of this summer and still find new amazing places to eat each trip.

Man we loved eating out in NYC..

The Oyster Bar, grand central station - Some of the best and freshest seafood you will ever eat, in a bustling, noisy, fun environment - we went twice!

The grammercy tavern - We had the tasting menu paired with their beer/cider tasting, it was truly immense.

http://www.carnegiedeli.com/home.php - Supposed to be really famous - Very Jewish - to be honest we found it a bit 'meh'

OH yeah - the Burger Joint @ Parker Meridien hotel is AWESOME!!!

If you want to push out the boat the 21 Club is worth a visit.

It is my favourite restaurant in the world. It is expensive but a real experience - make sure you wear a jacket and tie and get a table in the bar. You will need to make a reservation.

Lombardi's - Good. Big. Pizza.

Momofuku - Excellent noodles and Ramen

WD-50 - Taster menu, not stuffy, very decent

Peels - Breakfast, biscuits, eggs and gravy. Nom.

Shake Shack - Burger.

The Commodore - If you find yourself in Brooklyn, go here for chicken

Most of these were shamelessly stolen from a couple of other threads (I think they were Krooton's and OliCollet's).

I remember going there in 2007 - mmmm pizza

As for Boston...

Mike's City Diner. Had breakfast there, I didn't finish all the pancakes and I don't think we ate again for 10 hours! I remember the queue went out the door the Sunday morning we went.

You have to eat your body weight in Clam Chowder. Faneuil Hall is good for doing a mix 'n' match meal from the different places

It's far from a dive, but get up The Pru Tower at night. Top of the Hub has ace views. Minimum spend per person if you want a lounge table but not if you sit at the bar. Great for a chill at the end of a day.

It's not Man vs Food but if you like Italian, I can recommend Maggiano's in Boston!!

Fantastic food!

Oh, and Pizza in NY is amazing! We got a huge one from a small place near Carnegie Hall for a few dollars! (sorry, can't remember the name!)

Lombardi's for pizza
Clinton St. Baking for breakfast pancakes (you walk past Katz's on the way)
Shake Shack (I liked the smoky burger)
