New York City Wish List

When we go to New York City, it's a major food fest.  (I always know I'll gain at least five pounds).  Everything we do is scheduled around where and when we will be eating.  I keep a list on my iphone of places that we hear about, so the next time we are in NYC we can visit as many on the list as possible.

It's our NYC Wish List!

We have our favorites that are a must each time we're in New York.  Like...
Carmines - The best Italian, served family style


Joe's of Bleeker Street - The best slice of pizza, great crust!


La Esquina - A new favorite.  Seriously the best tacos!  See Emily Everywhere's post  "La Esquina: A word worth waiting for" for second testimonial on the tacos.  She has some other posts regarding our food frenzie in NYC that are well worth reading.


Katz's Deli - Another new favorite.  Order the pastrami sandwich - you won't believe how good it is.

Cupcake Tea at The Ritz

Ritz Carlton - Cupcake Tea is so romantic - go for a walk in the park afterward.

Other great places to grab a bite in New York:

Gramaldi's - Great pizza, but be prepared for a long line unless you get there when they open.  Just over the Brooklyn Bridge.


Serendipity - Wonderful, overthetop desserts.  Famous for their frozen Hot Chocolate.


Magnolia's, Crumbs and Eleni's - Who has the best cupcake???

Silvias Fried Chicken and Waffles

Silvias - Up in Harlem.  Queen of Soul Food.  Chicken was good, but the Waffles were fantastic!!

Cookies from Levain Bakery

Levain Bakery - Fabulous cookies.  And I love cookies.  They have four cookies to choose from, or don't choose and have one of each!  Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip and Oatmeal Raisin.


Donut Plant - They have a square Peanut Butter and Jam doughnut!  Best doughnut I tasted was the Creme Brulee.


Stand - A hamburger joint with Gelato Milkshakes!  Yummy!


Artisanal - Suppose to have great Mac and Cheese.  I know!  Who goes to New York to get Mac and Cheese - It's suppose to be That Good.
