NYC best food spots you must try

I went to New York City for the first time ever and one of the things I was most excited about was the food. New York City is known for amazing food and famous food spots that are known all around the world, so I love trying new foods so I tried my best to try as much food in places I could. Here's a little insight to amazing New York City best food spots that are also worth it in my opinion. Keep in mind I'll definitely will have to come back because there's so many more places I wanted to try but I didn't have the time for because I was only there for a week, so I'll have to come back for that. Also while we're at it, I documented and vlogged my whole New York trip to which I made a two-part series that I posted on my YouTube channel and you guys should definitely check that out if you want to. Don't forget to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and make sure to subscribe to my channel. I would appreciate it. First category is breakfast. First and foremost, New York is known for their bagels which came in perfectly as I love bagels so much. It's one of my favorite foods ever. I seriously dreamt of a day where I could eat New York City bagels for the first time. I tried to make a deep research into the best bagel place in New York and let me tell you there's so many places and it's so hard to pick and find the best ones because there's simply so many amazing places. So as we were only there for a week, we had to narrow it down to a few places. First place we straight up went on our first morning was Essay Bagel which I've only heard great things of. So we just stood in line an hour. Essay Bagel is supposed to be one of the best ones and I'm really excited. I got an egg sandwich. I'm gonna try my bagel now. Okay, it looks really good. Did I do a first bite? I'm really excited. It's really good. I've never had like an egg bagel before and we also got a scallion cream cheese on a bagel for the plain cream. There's a squirrel on the tree. We seriously loved Essay Bagel so much up to date. It's still one of my favorite bagel places ever and we also got a scallion cream cheese bagel on an everything bagel which was just one of my favorite bagels I've ever had in my life. It shocked me. I don't know if it was because it was my first day and everything. We ended up going back to Essay Bagel I think another one or two times. I seriously love this place so much. They have a huge variety of cream cheeses, of salads, and spreads and everything. We're gonna have bagels again but this time in a whole new district. It's Murray's Bagels. I'm really excited and I'm really hungry. We were really lucky at Murray's Bagels as we didn't have to wait at all in line which surprised me as the reviews were saying long lines are a daily thing at Murray's. I love the variety of smoked fish that they had and their menu really looked so special and diverse. This is so good. I ended up getting their traditional bagel with cream cheese, Nova Scotia salmon, capers, and onion which is usually my go-to order and it was a 10 out of 10. Their toasted bagels were phenomenal and this was also the exact reason why we came back one more time. It was really good. I got an egg sandwich but it was not what I hoped for as I thought that I got American cheese so it would be melted but it was not so it was okay. I was seriously so excited for Tompkins Square Bagels. I've heard numerous people calling it the best bagel place in New York. I'm a really indecisive person and especially that day I was so indecisive. I couldn't pick what I wanted to order and we were in line and I really got nervous because it was almost our turn so I ended up taking the smoked meat bagel and everything bagel which don't get me wrong it was amazing. It tasted amazing but I regretted my choice so much. Daniela had the spicy chipotle chicken salad with tomato, lettuce, bacon, and it was perfect. Like I don't know if this is a universal experience. The boyfriends always get the better choice. He says it's his best bagel he's had in his life. This is with cookie dough and cream cheese. I've never tried this with cream cheese before. 10 out of 10. Couldn't go to New York City without going out to one of the famous brunch spots. Bubby's was on top of my list. I've been seeing it everywhere. They serve typical homestyle American eats and they're especially known for their pancakes, biscuits, and breakfast platters. We didn't get the biscuits although I would highly recommend for you guys to get them. Danilo got the steak eggs benedict and I got the famous pancakes which comes with everything on it you can literally imagine with caramelized bananas, toasted walnuts, blueberries, nutella, mixed berries, and on top whipped cream. Now we come on to the next category which I name it lunch or quick bites, quick eats, just places where you don't necessarily have to sit down in a restaurant and those are amazing places. Prince Street Pizza was on the top of our bucket list because everybody kept recommending Prince Street Pizza as the best or one of the best pizza in New York. So how do you get one as your afternoon snack? It's spicy. We got the famous hot honey pepperoni square pizza. It was so so so good. It was really spicy but it hit the spot. It's really greasy. One of the best square pizzas I've ever had. What is the mission right now? Tacos number one. We're getting those tacos number one. One of the highest ranked things to get here. I was extremely excited about this. Mexican food is one of my favorite foods ever. They serve tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, and mulas, and they even have aguas frescas. Sorry if I'm butchering but this is a Mexican drink. This was the most recommended food spot in New York and it lived up to its expectations. The verdict? It was amazing. Yeah. One of the best tacos we've ever had. You should go. We're at our next food spot. I don't know exactly where we are. Shota Chicken. I saw this chicken place online on Instagram and my boyfriend and I, we love chicken. Like fried chicken, hot chicken, everything about chicken is amazing. I think I've saved this place in my safe folders for like about two years now. And we're finally here and we're gonna test it out. Unfortunately you can't eat inside. What is that? Chicken waffle. Oh my god. This place is so famous that even Lena Haney from Game of Thrones, Game of Thrones fans, this is Cersei, she came here and also Ned from Spider-Man, Peter Parker's best friend, came here. So we'll see. It looks really delicious and the place is called 375 Chicken. I think we're about roundabouts south of New York, almost at Brooklyn. We're back in our room and now we're gonna show what we ordered. We got the chicken waffles which looks really good. Just a simple chicken tenders and hot and I don't remember what sauce. I think this is buffalo honey and ranch. This is the buffalo honey chicken sandwich and it has hot Cheetos on it. It looks really good and I got the sweet fries. We're gonna test it out right now. I know one person here is really excited for it. Everything we ate was immaculate. You need to try the chicken tenders and the flaming hot burger is also something so unique and special. Something really important to me was that we had to go to Chinatown. We went to this place that I can't pronounce, that's why I'm gonna blend in here. I went with the mission of eating authentic dumplings which I got. The pork and chives dumplings were so juicy and delicious. If you love spicy you need to top it with their chili garlic oil. It was so good. We're about to head to dinner now. We're having dinner at Oshabay which is a burger restaurant. My boyfriend loves burgers above all so I was the best girlfriend and I searched one of the best burger restaurants in town. If you want to experience the typical bougie New York City vibe dining experience from indoor decor, atmosphere to food, this is the perfect place. It's hidden down Cortlandt alley and it's an American restaurant especially known for its amazing famous double cheeseburgers. I think Oshabay is the perfect dupe for the most famous burger in New York City restaurant, Fort Charles Prime Rib where it's almost impossible to get a hold of reservations. Even though I would still highly recommend getting a reservation for Oshabay. We got the General James fried chicken as a starter. The portion size was huge but the fried chicken was immensely good. For the main we both got the double cheeseburger with thick cut bacon and egg with a side of the bacon and black pepper mac and cheese and oh my god I think this is one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. I'm not a burger girl and I still think about this restaurant daily. It's one of the best burgers in my life and one of my favorite dining experiences. We went to the famous Ruby Rosa which I absolutely loved the atmosphere and then the little bar that had was so cute. We had the eggplant parmesan which was really good and then we had the cacio and pepe pasta and the ala vodka pasta. My pasta was absolutely delicious I just wish my portion size was a bit bigger but other than that it was really good. I know they're known for their tie-dye pizza but prior to this we had french food pizza so we weren't really in the mood for pizza again which I actually regret so much because this is the menu item they're most famous for. So we're at Joe's Pizza right now and I made it here. It's the greatest spot and I'm just getting the pizza right now. It's like one of the most known pizzas I think in New York but also it's like I think it's internationally known whatever Peter Parker worked at Joe's Pizza just FYI and yeah so we're gonna share the pizza right now. Joe's Pizza is like the first thing that comes up when you think of American pizza. Maybe there's definitely better New York pizza out there and New York pizza slices out there. Joe's Pizza is kind of like a traditional staple. The line was really long. It is a really famous spot. Their selection is really amazing. I really wanted to come back to try their white pizza but we just got classic pepperoni pizza. It was so good. It was greasy. It was a mess. Cheese pulls. The pepperoni was amazing. It was big. It was everything that I imagined when I think of New York sliced pizza. It was amazing and also Peter Parker worked here so 10 out of 10 for me. Mason Pickles another one of these classic New York City American restaurants where it can have dinner and brunch. Another perfect atmosphere and indoor setting. You need to get their famous pull-apart bread. We got the garlic parmesan one. The buns were so fluffy and light and it was so good. One of the best things about this dinner experience. Their trademarks are their french dips which Daniel got and he absolutely loved. I got their buffalo chicken mac and cheese with blue cheese ranch dip which was also really good but it was so dense and filling. The main attraction I was here for was their famous 24 layer chocolate cake dessert and even though I was so stuffed I had to order and eat it because it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. On Christmas Eve we went to our second Italian place called Pietratteria Pistoia. I'm really sorry for butchering. All their pasta is handmade and is very authentic Italian food. The place is very tiny but very Italian feel touch to it. I really recommend to get a reservation if you want to eat there. I was really looking forward to their truffle pasta. Daniel had the beef ragu and their wine was also really really good. We're going to Nusret which is a pretty famous restaurant. I think it's a steakhouse. It's by Salpe. I know we don't really like Salpe but he has a restaurant and it's supposed to be really good. You need to get a reservation for this restaurant. Even though we had one we still had to wait an hour for our table which really sucked and was a big minus point because I was so hungry. We had their special salad as a starter which doesn't look spectacular. It was with cranberries, walnuts, goat cheese, apples. It was definitely really good. We then had the eight hour roasted asado short ribs. They even did a little Salpe presentation thing. I had it with mashed potatoes. As a certified mashed potato lover these were incredible. Plus we got the herb crusted fries and these were perfection. This restaurant is really pricey and not for everyone. I know that. It's definitely a once in a lifetime experience for special occasions. This was not only for Christmas but it also was for Daniel's birthday and he really wanted to go here. There was one thing, one major thing I wanted to get before leaving New York and that is Levain Bakery. Levain Bakery. I saw it all over my for you page and just in general Levain Bakery. Their cookies are supposed to be so good. I also saw it on some YouTube videos from YouTubers and we love cookies so much so we're gonna get cookies and we're excited. I saved best for last. I've been waiting for this day to go to Levain Bakery. It did not disappoint. It's not overrated. I don't care what anybody says. Those were one of the best cookies I've ever had. Okay which one is this one? I have no idea. They smell really good. They were gooey. They were thick. They were a hundred out of a ten. I don't even know how to describe it. The walnut chip chocolate was definitely my favorite. That is all the New York City food spots I have for you guys today. I think I just scratched the surface of so many more food spots in New York City so I'll definitely have to come back. I really hope you guys enjoyed this video.
