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

Peter Luger experience

Finally went to Peter Luger today (Brooklyn) and the servers were not rude, the porterhouse was amazing and the cheesecake was superb. After reading so many comments about this place, I was low key worried. Why is there so much hate for this place? Yes it was expensive, but I think all steakhouses are expensive

Wild Cherry Matchbook

Awesome matchbook from Wild Cherry! They offer French influenced traditional American food. The room evoked a speakeasy/ art deco vibe and the service was informal and entertaining! For starters, we went with the Caesar Salad & the Beets & Sunchokes and enjoyed the Cheeseburger, Lobster Club and I highly recommend ordering the Kielbasa & Kraut.
