New York City’s food scene is hip, fast, always changing, always moving. If Chinese food is based on rice and flour – with all that dimsums, right? – and if Italian food has pizzas as the lead character, New York City is a smorgasbord of delicious-ness.
Imagine being able to gobble up and chow down after those tiring walks around the city, or if you are a New York resident or a tourist looking for something better to eat while in your hotel, Grubhub has got you covered. Here are the best food, not the best restaurants, to try while in New York!
Iconic New York City eats
Everything begins with your pastrami sandwich, that iconic Jewish deli creation that features steaming hot, smoked, and cured beef brisket generously stacked. It is usually served on rye bread with spicy brown mustard and often topped with coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and kosher dill pickle.
Then, there’s also pizza. Who says that pizza is only an Italian dish? New York-style pizza is a fiesta of toppings! Some New Yorkers also start their mornings with a fresh serving of bagels.
Or, you might want to try halal chicken over rice, getting also more famous in the Big Apple, especially since the government here is run by a Muslim?
Of course, the New York cheesecake is what New Yorkers would recommend.
Sweet treats and more treats
New York cheesecake is a sweet treat, but then again, it’s also iconic. Worry not, because in this category, you’ve got cookies, cupcakes, and the croissant-doughnut.
Bakeries and eateries in the Big Apple make and serve them fresh, with the raw ingredients coming in fresh daily. By the way, the croissant-donut is more colloquially known as the cronut.
Must-try neighborhood bites
The last category in this rundown of New York City eats is the must-try neighborhood bites. New York City is also known for tacos, dimsums, and Italian pastries. See? The food scene here is a big world culture.
For the tacos, the adobada tacos are very authentic and a must-try. For your dim sum, be sure to head over to restaurants in Chinatown, and for those Italian pastries, the Little Italy strip is teeming with the best restaurants for these.
