Can Wonder please fuck off

I’m genuinely so sick of their shit. They’re literally just 100 ”restaurants” in one, horrible frozen food microwaved and designed (probably even ai-generated) to look good in their ads, taking loads of money from actually delicious small businesses. I suggest trying Ladybird or PLNTBurger for good healthy vegetarian stuff rather than “Hanu Poke by Wonder” […]

Influencer Fatigue

Has it occurred to us that the trendiest restaurants in NYC – according to influencers who just landed here yesterday – really just serve slightly elevated versions of common midwestern food? It’s all just steaks, burgers, pizza, and pasta. It’s fundamentally boring. Once I realized that NYC food influencers are just hawking the food they

Appreciation post for Kat’s Reuben Sandwich with pastrami.

I only eat here once or twice a year, usually when bringing visitors. Every time, it’s a great experience. The pastrami practically melts in your mouth, and the melted cheese blends in perfectly. The service is excellent. Yes, it’s very touristy, but in my opinion, it’s still unmatched in its category. submitted by /u/Macredd [link]

Pete Wells was a maestro. The NY Times/NY food scene hasn’t been the same since.

Ever since he left, they’ve tried to replace him with a potpourri of writers, and none are remotely close to supplanting his prose. They don’t even review NYC restaurants exclusively anymore – it’s national now. He was as ubiquitous a part of the NY food scene as Jonathan Gold in Los Angeles, who sadly passed

NYT: Dinner and No Drinks: Restaurants Are Struggling as Americans Drink Less

Is it really that surprising that people aren’t drinking out as much anymore given the preposterous cost of drinks nowadays? I love cocktails and much to the detriment of my wallet will often hit up specialty cocktail bars, and fork up the $25/drink (incl. tip/tax). I wish they were cheaper but it is what it

Golden Diner

Went to Golden Diner and very happy they allow reservations to try and avoid the waiting on the long line. Pancake is the standout and what I enjoyed the most. The Korean Fried Chicken Wings were ok, they were cold which I believe is due to the staff making so many at once. The Chicken

Real Peking Duck?

I’m looking for real Peking duck with puffed skin thick with air holes. The skin should be blown with air prior to roasting to separate it from the meat, which makes it soggy and prevents it from puffing with the heat. Almost every restaurant uses a simple roasted duck with thin skin that could never

Everything I had here was delicious. Highly recommend the red snapper ceviche. only complaint was that the Branzino took over an hour to bring out. Other than that had a good time. Theodora website: Theodora submitted by /u/ToughIllustrator6754 [link] [comments]

Mixed shawarma platter from King of Falafel & Shawarma. They oftentimes give a free falafel while you wait. (Astoria, Queens)

https://kofnyc.com They have multiple locations including Astoria and trucks in Midtown and Bayside. Another one of my go-to shawarma platters. Amazing shawarma, falafel, and pickles with the salad. Also very filling. If you eat in, they have sauce bottles to add sauce to your heart’s content. submitted by /u/justflipping [link] [comments]

BLT from Fay Da. Don’t sleep on the Chinese bakeries for awesome cheap sandwiches

https://fayda.com/ This was from the one on 6th Ave. Given how things have been progressing around here, with Papaya Dog and Menkoi Sato (hopefully just temporarily) closing, and that stupid cheese wheel pasta place opening around the corner along with the soulless Cinnabon-Carvel-Auntie Anne’s cluster, I’ve been feeling extra-grateful for local gems like this. Picked

Biriyani Bol

I’d seen this place on TikTok a few times, they deliver Biriyani in a clay pot or you to bake it up and eat at home. I got goat Biriyani, chicken tikka & paratha since I wanted to try a few things and they included raita. It was delish. Everything was spicy and flavorful. My

Mapped 39 meals across NYC over the past year. Why is nobody talking about Malaysian food in Chinatown?

Started pinning every meal I eat with a photo because I kept losing track of great spots and going back to the same 5 places. After a year, some clear patterns jumped out from my map: Chinatown for Malaysian food is the one nobody’s paying attention to. Malaysia has a large Chinese community going back
