My first time visiting NYC. A show at Radio City brought us there, but the food is what drove the planning. I did the best I could with only two days available and we left completely satisfied. Huge thanks to this sub for the help, both as a poster and a lurker! Would love your feedback or any questions regarding my experience/choices. Here we go:
1: Bourke St Bakery
– Shakshuka egg and feta danish
– Hazelnut and almond chocolate croissant
2: Tavern on the Green (brunch)
– Steak and eggs
– Classic eggs benny
3: La Tratorria Pizza
– Pepperoni
– Buffalo Chicken
4: Margon
– Cuban sandwich and fried plantains
5: Best Bagel and Coffee
– New Yorker
– Bacon, egg, avocado lime cream cheese
6: Au Cheval
– The burger of course (had to)
7: Magnolia Bakery
– Banana pudding (twice)
8: Nerai
– Dry aged strip steak with cauliflower purée (Saturday night’s special)
– Manitaria (mushrooms with zatar)
– Squid ink linguine with lobster and metaxa bisque
9: Caffé Palermo
– Mini cannolis (plain chocolate dipped, hazelnut, caramel, pistachio)
10: Falafel over rice from a random food cart (the only semi-letdown)

How tf are all people visiting able to snag au cheval reservations?!?!?
We just got magnolias banana pudding delivered to MA and it was delicious
I love margons!!! Half chicken is where it’s at tho
for two days i think you did great!
How was Tavern on the Green? The Infatuation likes to remind us somewhat often that it is their lowest rated restaurant. I’ve always figured they’re exaggerating, and it’s a bit of a joke by now, but I’ve never heard of anyone going.
That’s impressive. That’s a lot of food in two days
That’s a pretty solid collection for two days.
damn, even outside the hype food cart spots, theres a couple well known ones that wouldn’t have probably been a let down, unlucky!
What was your favorite tho!
Fav dish?
The Cuban sandwich makes me sad
10 meals/snacks in two days is wild.
The real question is: how much did you spend?
What, no Olive Garden? 😉
