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

Russ & Daughters

Can’t recommend them enough. They’re next to Katz deli and have a great selection of high quality snacks and food. I opted for the chocolate jelly Grahams which were insane. I also had an Americano to go and it was honestly the best coffee I had in my 6 days in Manhattan. Definitely swing by

Anyone else feel like they’re flushing money out the toilet when ordering delivery nowadays?

I’m also a “dash pass” holder, so in theory my fees are lower than those who aren’t (imagine that!) Are these fees even reasonable anymore? I understand operational costs are one thing, but don’t they already take a cut out of restaurants’ earnings? And then we’re supposed to shoulder some of the cost of human

Can someone explain Cocodaq to me like I’m five

I finally went because every NYC food account acts like it’s a spiritual awakening and I’m genuinely confused. It’s fried chicken. Good fried chicken, sure. But the whole thing feels like: ✨ nugget ✨ caviar ✨ $38 That’s it. That’s the menu. It’s not inventive. It’s not complex. It’s not even particularly interesting. It’s literally
