This is an ode to NYC and my favorite Reddit channel. As a personal hobby project, I’m drawing up a mini picture book of some iconic NYC eats and institutions. I’ve already sourced many ideas from this channel, but if you’ve ever wanted to see your favorite pasta dish or cookie in a new format, please add them below! Don’t hold back! I want them all!

Disclaimer: I am NOT a professional artist. I just like to casually doodle and eat NYC food.
