Like many others, one of my favorite parts about visiting New York is the food! These places are my staples that I try my best to hit while in the city. Some may argue they’re basic, but I stick to what I know and I love these!

Sauce

Sauce Pizza is one of my favorite pizza spots. The artistry they put into crafting their pizzas is truly impressive, combining top-notch ingredients with innovative toppings that never fail to satisfy. They have a sit down restaurant, but I prefer the walk-up shop! And of course they serve a side of sauce with every order.

Tomkins Square Bagels

Tomkins Square Bagels stands out as a quintessential New York City establishment, renowned for its authentic and mouthwatering bagels. Boasting a wide array of flavors, from classic plain to daring everything-beyond, their bagels are consistently baked to perfection, boasting that coveted chewy interior and golden crust!

Misi

Misi is a culinary haven in New York City, celebrated for its exceptional Italian cuisine and inviting atmosphere. From their delectable pasta creations to their flavorful dishes, Misi consistently delivers an unforgettable dining experience that captures the essence of Italian cuisine. And it is across the street from Domino Park which has great views of the city!

Cecconi’s

Cecconi’s DUMBO is a standout dining destination in New York City, offering not only delicious food but also a stunning view that sets it apart. Despite being down the street in LA, the view from the DUMBO location is truly exceptional, showcasing the iconic Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge!

Lil Frankie’s

Lil Frankie’s is a beloved culinary gem nestled in the heart of New York City, renowned for its cozy ambiance and mouthwatering Italian fare. From their perfectly crafted pizzas to their delectable pasta dishes, Lil Frankie’s consistently delivers a delightful dining experience that captures the essence of Italian comfort food. With its charming atmosphere and delectable offerings, it’s no wonder that Lil Frankie’s holds a special place in the hearts of both locals and visitors alike.

Lure Fish Bar

Lure Fish Bar in New York City offers a fantastic seafood dining experience, but it becomes truly special when enjoyed with a group of close friends before a night out. The chic yet relaxed atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for sharing spicy tuna on crispy rice or lobster mac-and-cheese and engaging in lively conversations with the best of friends!

Candied Nuts

The candied nuts sold on the streets of NYC are essential during the fall/winter, filling the air with their irresistible smell! I can never resist these when I’m in New York, and they make for the perfect shopping snack!
