Follow Me Foodie to New York: Restaurants, bars, food & drinks worth flying for!

By

This list will continue to grow for sure. It’s New York, arguably “the best” food city in North America. I really dislike “best of” lists and I think “the best food city” is dependent on what kind of food you want, but generally many would agree that New York has it all – and they do.

Graze (Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten Free Restaurant)

By

Graze opened in the old Fray location last year, a little after the wave of vegetarian restaurants opened in Vancouver – The Parker, Heirloom, and The Acorn. It was more rustic and homestyle than the others and the menu is very allergy friendly with vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options.

Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar – Unsung Heroes (Seafood) Festival

By

Despite Unsung Heroes being on it’s 10th year, it still doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Chef Pabst creates a genius menu showcasing under-utilized seafood and it’s one of my favourite menus of the year. The only “wrong” is that it is only available for the month of February.
