3 Iconic Foods to Eat in NYC

These are some of my must-try restaurants in NYC that everyone should try at least once, as well as what you should order:

🍔7th Street Burger → This viral burger spot that originated in East Village now has locations across the city. The menu is simple – fries, hamburgers, and soda. The hamburger comes in a double patty with cheese and grilled onions.

My only gripe is that prices are pretty steep, at around $8 for a single burger. For a soda, fries, and burger, my total came out to just over $15.

🥯Thompson Square Bagels → Located just outside of the picturesque Thompson Square Park, this is one of NYC’s most famous bagel shops. I opted for the basic bacon, egg, and cheese bagel and it did not disappoint. The bagels at Thompson’s are perfectly chewy, the egg and cheese are flavorful, and the bacon crispy. Just know you might have to wait in a long line!

🥟Joe’s Shanghai → I was honestly pretty skeptical when I first tried Joe’s Shanghai, as I thought it was a tourist trap. However, their pork soup dumplings are the BEST I’ve ever tried! Each dumpling has a generous amount of flavorful soup, and the meat is tender. The dumpling wrapper is also thick and holds the contents well. It completely lives up to the hype!
