This is part one! I donโt even know where to start when it comes to all there is to eat in the Big Appleโฆ ๐๐ฝ
Itโs the anniversary of my month-long trip to NYC and Iโm finally getting down to compiling all Iโve tried and tested there. I take my food. Very Seriously. So other than a few hiccups here and there, everything else was golden!!! ๐คฉ
Hereโs part one of all that I ate there and I hope it gives you some ideas if youโre planning on visiting NYC any time soon!

About ~USD5 for the iconic cereal milk soft serve. Itโs served with cornflake bits which add a bit of crunch to it. This was my first American dessert and it didnโt disappoint. Surprisingly not too sweet (before this I had the misconception that the desserts there were CLOYING).
While I donโt find myself going out of the way to get it, if I was passing by Iโd drop into the store and pick a cup (or cone!) up.
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 7/10. Solid but itโs just a soft serve at the end of the day. Worth a try!

This was my first Chipotle, and I had it along Hudson River.
First things first, the portions were amazing. One big dollop of guacamole for a small fee of USD2? Sign me right up.
My favourite protein to have with this was the steak but quality is hit-or-miss depending on the outlet! Sometimes my steak was overcookedโฆ The carnitas were also really good.
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 10/10!!!! You canโt not have chipotle if youโre in USAโฆplsโฆ

Honestly, TMBH has nothing on these. Iโve yet to try others, but this place was recommended by my friends. The bagels were loadedโฆand I mean loaded. I shared this with a friend but we had trouble finishing them because it was just massive.
Sadly there was no place to have it in store so it was grab and go.
If youโve tried other bagelries, let me know how they were!
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 8/10. I would pick this up again but imo itโs pretty pricey for breakfast! I would like to try other bagelries as well.

Ok this isnโt a must-eat, but itโs defos worth a try at least once.
Pancakes were moist, fluffy, and the paragon of what American pancakes should be. Besides the maple syrup, I have to say the other sauces were REALLY sweet so you can give it a skip.
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 7.5/10. Am I basic? Yes. Was this delicious? Also yes.

Peter Luger is on the pricier side but the steak was honestly fantastic, I couldnโt find any fault with it. Juicy, fatty, yet ridiculously tender. The cook was perfect, and the beef fat fries were fluffy and full of flavour.
The burger is a lunch special but itโs also really good and affordable. If you donโt want to splash out on the steak, I totally recommend getting the burger which was bursting with beefy goodness.
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 9/10. If you can spare the cash, do yourself a favour and drop by here. Itโs pretty pricey but hey, get the burger (around USD20) and thatโs a great compromise.

Iโm not really a fast food gal but I gotta give praise where praise is due: Chick-fil-A knows what itโs doing with its burgers. Flavourful, NOT dry, albeit a bit greasy (as fast food tends to be).
I tried its grilled chicken burger, too, which was much more up my alley (lol health nut or wtv). Love that the stores have the macros on the menu.
Pro-tip: scan the receipt and fill up the survey to get a free burger! So with every purchase of a burger, you get another one hehehe ;)
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 7.5/10! Not a must-have for me but if itโs your first-time in USA, you have to try this. If you love fried chicken, youโll love the burgers.

Sheโs an icon, sheโs a legend, sheโs the moment. Probably one of the most famous eats in NYC. I can say itโs worth the hype โ thick slabs of beef accompanied by tart, sour pickles. The beef melts in your mouth and is bursting with flavour.
Itโs expensive, I have to admit. This was about ~USD25 not including tips. Highly recommend dropping a USD5 into the tip box at the counter, the server will give you more.
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 9/10! Itโs NOT cheap, letโs be real, but would I return? Absolutely.

I know itโs up in the air about exactly who has the best tacos, but this is one of the unanimous spots.
I mean, you know itโs good when you hear everyone around you speaking Espaรฑol ๐คฉ My fave was the carne asada, which was smokey and dripping with juices. I like the salsa station where you take your own condiments.
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 10/10, ate this twice and will continue to eat this every time I come by.

My friend alerted me to these delightful-looking tarts. Itโs not a well-known bakery by NYC standards but I loved this very much. Especially if youโre a tart person!
The Lemon Meringue was my favourite but the Mixed Berry one wa also lovely. I paid around $15 for both so itโs on the expensive side, but then again what in NYC isnโt? :โ)
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: 9/10. Just beautiful and it tasted as good as it looks.
