I’m a huge fan of exploring street food in every new place I visit. It tells me a lot about their food culture. To really get a taste of what a city has to offer, you have to go across the board and experience high and “low” end dining and everything in between. Follow Me Foodie to New York Street Food!

New York is full of award winning delis that claim to have the city’s “best pastrami sandwich”. I asked a handful of trusted New York foodies some of their favourites and Eisenberg was one that came up often along with 2nd Ave Deli. A celebrity favourite in Manhattan.

I really wished I did some previous research because I thought the thing to order was the famous Cuban sandwich. That was only half the equation though and it turns out I missed the “Best Corn on the Cob” in the city. @$#%. Seriously?!

If you’re a sake connoisseur or sake-lover then this is likely your idea of heaven… although it feels like entering hell. Forget the beers, this was over 200 bottles of affordable to premium sake on the wall.

That’s a bold statement and to base your entire brand on one thing leads everyone to have high expectations. “The Best” anything in the world is a courageous claim, and it’s one I had to check out for myself. So was it really “The Best Chocolate Cake in the World”?

Manhattan, New York – BREAD

With a focus on paninis, the lunch menu is rather limited and simple, but the food is homemade with care. The place is trendy, the portions are fair, and the prices are reasonable and affordable for the area, which makes BREAD an easy local favourite.

It’s fine dining in New York, but away from New York. It’s farm to table dining with a location in Manhattan and the other at Stone Farms, which is the recommended full experience. It was definitely one of my better fine dining experiences globally.

The pastry chef and co-owner is Chika Tillman, hence the name ChikaLicious. The divey looking location is unassuming and all the desserts are gourmet, made in house with high quality ingredients and at fine dining standards.
