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!

It offers modern French cakes and pastries made with local ingredients and West Coast flavour, but with traditional French techniques. I did find most of them sounding better in the descriptions, but it is still one of the better patisseries in the city.
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?!

No. 1 Shanghai Cuisine. Ahh, I don’t know about that one. It wouldn’t be in my top 5 places to go for Shanghainese cuisine in Richmond, BC, but then again I only tried their dinner menu and perhaps their dim sum is better. I found the dinner very average and it wasn’t very inspiring.

There was quite a bit of hype when Pronto Caffe first opened last year and it was mostly due to Vancouver’s sandwich craze, specifically for the porchetta sandwich. As a neighbourhood restaurant it’s a good choice with it’s casual and cozy atmosphere and affordable prices.
It’s definitely a popular local favourite in Richmond for late night eats and specials. It’s made upon order, cheap, no fuss, good variety and great value for what you get. It’s not the best, but it’s decent and does the job. I consider it a bang for your buck.
It was definitely fancy pants coffee, or fancy tight hipster pants coffee, so you either get it or you don’t. They offer brew flights and tasting flights with complimentary tastings every Friday from 1-2pm. Coffee lovers paradise!
