24 Hours Of Street Food in New York City

[@AdrieSteia]

As a New Yorker, a shitty hot dog in Time Square at 1am when everything is wet is what the experience is about. And thr folding the pizza? I'm literally so proud of my terrible city since you're actually experiencing NYC

It enrages me that people have this image that everyone in the city are rude and uncaring; new yorkers are dumb, weird, strange, odd, crazy and absolutely wonderful. You can get indoctrinated into a cult one day, pet a lynx drinking brews and smoking piff with a stranger the next and have an 84 year old gma drive you to Canada while talking about her life as an escort in the 70s when you miss your flight Love you nyc ❤

[@yamomwasthebomb7159]

It made me really happy to see you come around my city. You picked some really great well-known places to start, but the more you come back, you start to find other out-of-the-way great places and some hidden gems. For next time: pizza at Spumoni Gardens, Greek food in Astoria, Wo Hop and soup dumplings in Chinatown, chocolate babka at Breads or Andre’s, Bier and Cheese (for beer and cheese), Sicilian food at Joe’s of Avenue U, weird ice cream flavors at Oddfellows, fried chicken and pancakes at Bubby’s… I could go on. But two days of food in NYC just isn’t enough. See you when you get back, dude.

[@TheCrazedLorry98]

I went to New York once when I was 16 or so, as a European it was very overwhelming. Massive buildings, massive food portions but the food is overall delicious and the service is great (even though we aren't used to people constantly refilling our drinks, I zoned out once and didn't realize i drank like 4 cups of coffee). My mum wanted us to walk as much as possible, so one day we walked like 20-30 blocks because my mum thought it would only take 30 mins....we were walking for 2 hours. Great experience 10/10 and I am also a Knicks fan as a result (also katz diner is fire).

You're probably back in Romania at this point but if you ever find your way back to NYC you should head on over to Xi'an Famous Foods! It's a local chain that makes some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. Also if you want to try a lot of diverse cuisines head out to Queens, in particular the Jackson Heights area. There's a lot of different immigrant cultures there (primarily Ecuadorian, Thai, Indian, Nepalese, and Filipino) and all that food is fantastic.

At 2:45. You LOVE proper Mexican food (all the dishes you've eaten that were done the proper Mexican way end up 10/10 with you) and properly-cooked beans. So I figured your preferences lean more toward the acid/savory side of things. American donuts tend to go to the really sweet/fatty side of things, which is the opposite of what you love in the foods you most enjoy.

The second item you tried - steamed rolls - are none other than Vietnamese "banh cuon". Ok, there are various versions in Asia, but banh cuon is my fave. Brilliant! Slippery and slimy big yummy

I think you must visit Argentina. Very cheap, BUT really great food... so, it's worth it! You will find of the best meats in the world at very low prices. But you can find empanadas with various fillings, there are lots of sweet things like torta frita, pastelitos. Due to italian inmigration and influence, Pizzas are strong point (it has more pizzerias than Italy), also Pasta is really great. Argentina is the home of the best hot dog of the world, the Choripan. Of course, the star it's going to be an Asado, with all the sides (chorizo, morcilla, salchicha parrillera, provoleta, etc)

Just be careful and avoid scam traps (rickshaw drivers, lame comedy tickets being sold on the street etc)

Sounds like Manhattan. Real New Yorkers live in the other boroughs where we don't put up with that crap on a daily basis. Though we flock to Manhattan for the food and events since it's so lively. But if you want a real sense of community and history it's all rich in Brooklyn/Queens/Bronx.

I was waiting for you to come to my city & try it! I'm glad you finally made it! Next bagel you get, i'd recommend either just cream cheese, a bacon egg and cheese (you gotta say it all as one word "baconeggncheese"), or Lox & cream cheese. All 3 of these bagel combos are amazing and I'd recommend trying La Bagel Delight, they have 4 locations in Brooklyn and they roll their own fresh bagels every day. Juliana's is one of the best pizza spots in the city, definitely recommend.

[@dee_dee_place]

Have you ever tried a bagel with whitefish? Yummy. I like it better than Lox. My Paternal Grandfather used to make bagels & really big soft pretzels. He would bring us 2 grocery bags with fresh, hot bagels & pretzels every Sunday morning. There's nothing like a bagel straight out of the oven!
