Chrissy Teigen's 3 Favorite Things to Eat in N.Y.C.

"Josh Capon [Ed note: The chef at Lure Fishbar] is a dear friend of mine. His L.A.-style Lure burger is everything. The patty is so well-seasoned and delicious. Plus, it's lettuce-wrapped, so you feel like you're eating healthy. It's the only burger where I feel like, 'I don't need a bun.' It's actually in my cookbook—he gave me the recipe and did a Sriracha mayo sauce with it. So good!"

"Frank is so delicious. John and I used to live close by. I'll go alone for Lasagne Verdi Thursdays. That's what I love about New York: You can sit at a restaurant by yourself and read a magazine or just be on your phone. You can't really do that in L.A.—you don't look quite as cool."

"I love Vietnamese food. Pho Grand on Grand Street is my go-to for pho. They have a picture of Hillary Clinton hanging on the wall—she's a visitor, apparently."
