Hi! I’m from Montreal and me and my wife love NY! We have gone a few times and normally we fly but this time we decided to drive, we love eating and walking so here our adventure!
Since there are too many places, feel free to ask questions on the comments, I’ll be answering all of them. I won’t be able to post photos of all or to comment too much on each, to not make this post longer than it will inevitably be.
Day 1
We left Montreal at around 10am on Sunday, it is a 6 and a half our drive, so our first stop was after a 3 hours driving for gas and:
Starbucks + KFC. (Great fries, and KFC is a million times better in USA than in Canada)
We checked in to our hotel close to Times Square and started our food tour! All of it was walking, no metro, bus, taxi, etc.
Zeppola (Just for a pistachio croissant that we shared)
Tried my luck with 4 Charles which I had tried Rsv from a month before through 2 Cc concierges and resy without success, still no luck getting in.
Starbucks Reserve (Had the flight of martinis, really loved the different flavors)
L’Industrie (Great pizza, we had the whole pie to share) [Photo 1]
Magnolia Bakery (the OG to try their Oreo Banana Pudding.
Day 2
Culture Espresso (Still my fav cookie in NY) Cafe Leone Sunday Morning (Amazing cinnamon rolls!) King of Cannoli (4 mini-cannolis to go, the best was the og) Golden Diner – 3 hour waitlist and it was an actual 3 hour wait. The pancakes and wings were amazing but wouldn’t wait again for 3 hours. Matcha 108 (While waiting, great matcha!) [Photo 2] La Mercerie (1 cookie to share, while waiting) Peter Pan – By the time we arrived they didn’t have a lot of variety but they gave us a pastry for free since they didn’t take card and we had no cash, very nice lady! La Gnoccheria ( Amazing fried gnocchi with truffle) [Photo 3] Anita Gelato – to walk back to the hotel [Photo 4]
Day 3
Popup Bagels (I found the salt bagel way too salty, but the everything was amazing) [Photo 5]
After a 10k run in Central Park
Arabica % Glace foodtruck (Shared that funny face cookie with ice cream) 7th Street Burger (My first smash burger ever and I loved it) mini Reese’s cup to share Krispy Kreme (Trying the Harry Potter donuts, I loved the Revenclaw one! Nothing like a good classic American donut) [Photo 6] Nathan’s Cart (Loaded fries were great) Adele’s Famous (Still amazing food and the line wasn’t terrible) Junior’s Cheesecake (Plain and Oreo, I liked both, but I if I had to choose it would be Oreo)
Day 4
Gumption Coffee Los tacos No.1 food cart (“the Donkey”) [Photo 7] I’m Donut ? (Great donuts with a twist!)
Checked out from the hotel at noon and on our way driving off the city picked up:
Levain (Second favorite cookie in NY, it’s also massive) [Photo 8] Mama’s Too [Photo 9]
Will be back soon to try more new places and return to my favs!
