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.

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.

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.

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.
