Where in NY are you? If there's anywhere good food is to be found on any given corner... Echoing the dairy argument, and i'm pretty sure there's even a talmudic source for that tradition-- anything that is warm is better, spicy or pungent things get a reccomendation. They have this awesome thing called "Ginger" that's gotten popular in alot of groceries lately... Tea, without sugar, duh squared. Oatmeal sounds good to me as far as a winter staple grain goes. Any asian places around you? Miso soup is the best kind of sick food, ideally. Warm, pungent = good for sickness. but I really wonder what part of NYC you're describing. vegetable soup, duh.

My suggestion - hot, steamy, nourishing noodle or miso soup. There are noodle shops and sushi joints all around NYC - even in midtown! Hey Ben - sorry you’re feeling sick…feel better.

I like Erewhon's Crispy Brown Rice. If sick I'd choose rice or soy milk since dairy increases mucous production and is harsh on the tummy. Home fries are always a good bet, in my book, and most diners serve them all day. Whole grain toast with jam and a little butter is always good, or with hummus if you're trying to go the nutritious route. Most restaurants can do this for you. Eggs are good, too. Or go to the corner store and get some instant oatmeal. Hot cereal is filling and gentle on the stomach and readily available.
