Homesick? Find Your Hometown in New York

SFers always whine about not being able to find a good San Francisco-style burrito in New York--unless they've discovered Dos Toros. Opened by Bay Area natives, this Union Square taqueria is a meticulous re-creation of legendary SF burrito spot Gordo Taqueria and a surefire cure for burrito withdrawal.

There's nothing inherently San Franciscan about this East Village spot--it's a standard, even sub-standard, Irish pub--but it's also a 49ers bar, and on Sundays during football season, hundreds of Niners fans show up to watch Alex Smith blow it at the last minute.

If Cajun specialties like catfish po' boys, hush puppies and gator gumbo from Honeychiles (The Charleston's in-house kitchen) don't bring you back to the Big Easy, the fact that they're served in a grimy old Bourbon Street-grade dive bar will.

The weekend crowd at this East Village bar isn't authentic to New Orleans--or even the East Village--but go early on a weeknight and the voodoo dolls, original hurricane shutters and dim lighting will conjure that sexy, slow, slightly spooky Louisiana vibe.

Ironically, it's here at one the most iconic New York restaurants that you can get a truly authentic Chicagos-style hot dog (that's a Vienna beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun with mustard, relish, tomatoes, pickles, onions, celery salt and "sport" peppers). Better yet, it's available at all five S.S. locations--even Citi Field.

This Irish pub in the East Village isn't Chicago-themed, but on game days you'll find it packed to the brim with Chi fans watching their beloved Cubbies get pummeled by whatever team they're playing.

Boston doesn't really have a signature food unless you count baked beans, but a proper, fresh (like, delivered daily from Maine) lobster roll or a mountain of fried clams will bring Boston back into focus faster than the Acela train.

Whether you're a die-hard Red Sox, Celtics or Patriots fan or you just want to get into an old-fashioned bar brawl, this Bostonian bar has seven flat-screens so you can watch your team dominate every New York team--besides the Yankees, of course.

If you're from Philly, this is THE place to go when you're homesick in New York. In addition to hordes of hardcore Eagles fans, Wogies serves an authentic Philly cheesesteak slathered with greasy onions, peppers and Cheez Whiz.

This legendary deli is about as old-school New York as it gets, but Philly transplants swear that the cheesesteak at Katz's is among the best in the city (and much better than the garbage they're serving at that monstrosity, the Cheesesteak Factory, two doors down).
