New York Favorites

Amber: Everything. But especially the chicken parm sandwich.

Amber: Best soup dumplings in NYC.

Amber: Fried chicken with mashed potatoes on a biscuit. Do I need to say anything else?

Amber: The Peking Duck sesame pancake is only available at the location on Eldridge. Worth the trek. Also, the coconut boba is solid.

Amber: THE ALMOND CROISSANT. AND BABKA.

Amber: Dining in the tavern is always a good choice - consistently good service and delicious food. Also, they have a burger that is only available during lunch, but is worth making an effort for.

Amber: Super tasty New Zealander food. Similar to Gramercy Tavern and Tuome as far as quality, price and niceness. Three of my fav nice, quiet dinner spots.

Amber: The Pad See Ew, Khao Soi Gai and Green Curry Fried Rice = my usual order.

Amber: Not only is the pizza great (try the colony), the burger is also fantastic

Amber: Best pancakes in NYC (go for the chocolate chips). Also, the latkes with sour cream/apple sauce are always a good choice. Solid menu all around.

Amber: The Chairman and the Birdhaus baos. Pork belly or fried chicken. So simple but SO craveable.

Amber: Just when I thought the Baohaus had a corner on the gua bao market... Bunsmith shows up out of nowhere and knocks it out of the park 🙌 Out of the way, but worth the trek.

Amber: Solid sandwiches, great quality ingredients, committed to keeping things sustainable and responsible = I'm a fan.

Amber: The ramen is great. The pork buns are even better.

Amber: The chicken and porridge dish is unbelievably good. And the persimmon/burrata appetizer is too.

Amber: Get the pizza. ...Duh. Pro tip: if you go before 5pm you can get it by the slice.

Amber: Get the spicy square. Pepperoni for dayz. (Honestly, don't waste your time with anything else, the spice square is why you're here).

Amber: The fried chicken sandwich is great. Add the pimento cheese.

Amber: Super high quality bubble tea

Amber: Incredible ice cream. Another one of my favorite ice cream places in the world. The flavors are rich and the scoops are large - ordering a double is often a mistake 😂

Amber: Creative flavors, super high quality ice cream. Try 'tea dance'. One of my favorite ice cream places in the world. That said, I was devastated when 'Coffee and Champagne' disappeared from their menu.

Amber: A transplant from Philly, Han Dynasty is still the best Szechuan I've found. Their heat scale has gotten somewhat toned down over the years, but everything else has stayed the same - awesome.

Amber: Soooo goooood. If you've never had Taiwanese shaved ice, definitely worth coming here to check it out.

Amber: The fried chicken sandwich is a little spicy. And very good.

Amber: Less of an ordeal than Ippudo. Cozy laid back vibe, often possible to just walk in and the ramen is great.
