Where to eat in NYC! As recommended to me from my followers on Instagram! From pizza to Asian food to ice cream, check these out!
UPDATE!
Back from my quick weekend trip to NYC and here’s where I went. I highly recommend these places!
Ess-a-Bagel! This is the A SIGNATURE FAVORITE: Slices of nova on a bagel w/ scallion cream cheese, freshly-sliced tomato, lettuce, onions + capers! Long line so be prepared to wait but this bagel sandwich was delicious! LOVED the bagel itself too!
Prince Street Pizza! You can order pizza by the slice! This is the Spicy Spring (square) pepperoni cups slice. When we went, there was a line so be prepared to wait. . but it’s SO worth it!
Bouchon Bakery, as also went to the Dominique Ansel Bakery (I recommend both!). Highly recommend all of the cookies, sandwich cookies and the macarons!!
We hit up Ippudo for ramen! loved it! We tried three different ramen bowls and they were all delicious! I also highly recommend the Matcha green tea ice cream dessert! Check out my highlights to see the dessert in action!
As you all know, we are now living in PA! Outside of Philadelphia! My family and I are planning a trip to NYC next weekend and I asked for restaurant recommendations! Well, I received a TON! and sorry, there were so many direct messages. . this is about all I could grab.
If I missed a restaurant that absolutely needs to be on here, please leave a comment down below, thank you!
A lot of you asked to see the list because a lot of you are going to NYC soon as well . . here’s the list. . I wish I could group it better but I don’t know where all of them are located. Also, I have not eaten at most of these places! These are all recommendations from followers/friends on Instagram! As I explore these places, I will follow-up with more in depth reviews and recommendations from me!
Enjoy!!!
Please note: Some places include actual dishes to try and notes from people given to me. If some have been listed twice, please forgive me. and this list is LONG. . but it’s New York City so……
