When we decide that we want to travel, we usually have in mind what we want to visit there and we want to try the delicious food that can be eaten there. Without a doubt, New York is a must-try place when it comes to food. Various countries brought their beautiful meals and thus it became a place where you can find everything from Tokyo to New Mexico. Here are some suggestions that you should try as soon as possible.
Bagels
Bagels, unclean water dogs, and rushed individuals who don’t mind cussing each other out are all like New York as the Empire State Building. They were invented in New York and have been around since homesick and hungry immigrants arrived on Ellis Island. If you ever find yourself organizing a trip to New York, you must try one. Even if you’re hundreds of miles away and feel completely lonely, a bite of a good bagel with cream cheese and lox makes you feel right at home.
Pastrami
Pastrami is deli meat prepared from the cow navel plate that has been smoked and cured. It’s seasoned with a delicious spice blend that includes garlic, coriander, black pepper, paprika, cloves, allspice, and mustard seed, among other things. Sussman Volk, a Lithuanian immigrant who was handed the recipe by a Romanian acquaintance in exchange for a favor, served pastrami for the first time in New York City in the late 1800s. Pastrami became even more popular at delis in New York’s theater area throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The oldest surviving New York deli, Katz’s, is well-known for its filled pastrami sandwiches.
Pizza
Motorino Pizza — a fantastic East Village spot for handcrafted, Neapolitan-style pizzas with just the right amount of char. Their Margherita and Brussels Sprout pies are great and very popular.
Roberta’s Pizza — this well-known Brooklyn pizzeria serves up some very tasty wood-fired pizzas in a hip setting… and they’re not just pies. There’s also a complete culinary menu.
Lucali — This thin-crust Brooklyn pizzeria isn’t cheap ($24 for a pie), but it has a devoted fanbase.
Artichoke Basille’s Pizza — having a few locations throughout town, this is a fantastic spot to get a hefty slice of artichoke pizza. With artichoke hearts, spinach, cream sauce, mozzarella, and pecorino romano cheese, it’s extremely substantial and satisfying.
Co. — founded by bread and pizza genius Jim Lahey (the person who revolutionized at-home bread making with his no-knead bread recipe), serves pizza at community tables in Chelsea.
John’s Pizza — a well-known Bleeker Street pizzeria known for its unique brick-oven pizzas.
Burgers
You’ve come to Minetta Tavern for the Black Label Burger. Yes, it’s on the verge of becoming $30. Yes, it’s well worth the effort. Brisket, short rib, skirt steak, and dry-aged ribeye are all on the menu. Yes, it’s legit. Just know that you’ll almost certainly need to make a reservation. It gets quite crowded up here.
Umami Burger is the city’s first outlet of the renowned California business. The Truffle Burger is a must-try.
Shake Shack — a New York City institution, this fast-food establishment (with many locations) is a must-visit for both locals and visitors. The Shack Stack is a burger with a cheese-stuffed fried mushroom on top. And don’t leave without trying one of their Concretes, which are created with their extremely thick, creamy, and rich custard.
Two locations and a cult-like following for Burger Joint. These basic no-frills burgers are sure to satisfy.
Do you feel like trying something new? How about Bareburger? Do you want to sample a burger made from organic elk, bison, or even ostrich? This is where you belong. There are several locations, and the chocolate peanut butter shake is a must-try.
Coffee
There are plenty of quaint neighborhood coffee shops in New York City that welcome guests with frothy cappuccinos and polite chats. While every New Yorker has a favorite corner to go to, there are many cafes and roasters in the city that are worth visiting for beautifully brewed coffee, award-winning pastries, and friendly service.
Tea
The bright West 73rd Street original is a favorite among long-time fans. Alice’s Tea Cup has numerous locations, but the colorful West 73rd Street original is a favorite among long-time admirers. With colorfully painted walls, mismatched teaware, and a special afternoon tea for kids, this is the spot to schedule when visitors with children are in town. For adults, Alice’s provides a variety of tea sizes to suit their appetites. To create a bespoke afternoon tea set, choose from a variety of scone varieties (including pumpkin if it’s available) and tea sandwiches, such as lapsang-smoked chicken and tea-egg salad. Warm scones are also available for takeaway at the takeout counter.
New York is like no other place. With traces of many cuisines, it offers something that no other place can. Hopefully, you will be able to try these and fall in love with them.
