Foodie Diary: New York City

Continuing my reflection of last year's trips...here's another foodie journey on my NYC trip last February! It was definitely one of my favorite trips and had some of the best food. Shout out to our wonderful friend, Tanner for hosting us and making Yvonne and I feel super comfortable at home...even when it's just playing Mexican Train on a rainy day! :) Enjoy!

Cheeky Sandwiches

This was a quick stop for us while we were walking around. I actually really enjoyed this hole-in-the-wall! I got the short rib sandwich and Yvonne got the chicken. We both really enjoyed it!

Eggloo

What a simple, yet sweet idea! (excuse that squished blueberry ;P)

Death & Co

We also got to explore a ton of bars, started with Death & Co! :)

I loved this Matcha!

Very chill and intimate spot!

Gelso & Grand

This was one of my favorite places! The dishes were all so unique and flavorful, would definitely recommend coming here if you're near Little Italy!

Del Frisco's

Hands down one of my favorite steak places!! It's comparable to Alexander's, but still better in my opinion (Excuse the poor quality in photos...super dark inside).

Rooftop bar with an amazing view of H&M ;)

Best Earl Gray Cocktail I've ever had!

Cocoron

Delicious soba noodles in hot dipping broth! Super good, but quite heavy on the stomach. Probably what New Yorkers need to stay warm!

I'm a huge fan of salty/sweet things, so this was amazing to me! I got the pretzel because they ran out of cereal, but still good!

Friedman's Lunch

We were shopping near Chelsea and needed a snack before our late dinner reservation. This was the perfect filler meal! We shared a chicken and waffles.

Peter Luger

We were lucky to get a reservation very last minute, so definitely make one if you know you're coming here! I've heard so many people rave about this, so I had to try it for myself. We got a dinner for two between three people and it was perfect! They barely season it, but I must admit, the meat is divine!! Definitely check this place out if you're in NY!!

Russ & Daughters Cafe

This was probably the most fancy Lox bagel I've ever had. It was definitely good, but I wouldn't say it's worth the price (maybe worth the presentation). 

Levain Bakery

This is Tiffany's favorite cookie spot! And being a cookie fanatic, we had to trust her and go! Literally just two words, MUST TRY!

Gato

Our last dinner in NY with some new, now old friend(s)! A cute tapas-styled place with portions big enough to share!

Tai Pan Bakery

So glad we got to make a stop here before heading home! Definitely my favorite egg tart place now!! They have various flavors like egg white, matcha, papaya, etc..

A cute brunch spot, but nothing really spectacular. I did enjoy the blueberry pancakes though!

And that's a wrap! I know what you're thinking...did we just eat this whole trip? Well...probably majority of the trip haha, but we definitely did some exploring as well! Definitely recommend checking out the 911 Memorial, Central Park, and highly recommend checking out a musical or play! We watched Wicked and it was wicked good!! :)
