最好的切片为您的美元

“纽约市美元切片是一种垂死的品种,而且Percy's Pizza在Bleecker Street上服务最好。底部像饼干一样脆,低湿的马苏里拉丰富,番茄酱美味。但是,最好的是他们的企业的完整性。在大流行的经济衰退中,珀西经历了完全重新设计的徽标,以用“2美元”的标志取代“1美元”。现在这是一块两美元的片,但它仍然值得每一分钱。“

Creative Cantonese

"八月聚集s has been serving the best Cantonese food in Manhattan for quite some time—it's elegant and creative and extraordinary. I go there every single time I need a spark of creativity. There are two dishes that really blow me out of the water. First, the wild octopus and bone marrow fusilli, which is a wok-fried take on Michelin-starred Marea's signature pasta. Second, the oven-roasted Angus short rib is a fall-off-the-bone short rib slow-cooked in goose fat, flash-seared in a wok, and served with oyster sauce and broccoli."

鸡尾酒小时

“在Double Chicken Please, I drink whatever bartenders GN Chan and Faye Chen hand me. The bar is built to be the best in class, and the drinks whisper sweet notes of creativity and nostalgia for Chinese transplants like myself. Micheladas can take on notes of licorice, shots are accented with savory sour plum, and Negronis might take on hints of red bell pepper."

Divine Dumplings

"舒娇福周is a quaint corner dumpling restaurant that specializes in Fujianese peanut noodles, wontons, and pork-and-chive dumplings. It's unpretentious, honest, and, importantly, quiet. No hullabaloo."

一个隐秘的汉堡

"My favorite burger is at Joe Junior in Gramercy (167 Third Ave.). Always cooked to your liking, served by kind waiters, and no more than $7. It's so juicy, the bottom bun dissolves by the time you're halfway through your burger. Yes, I know about the foie gras–stuffed burgers. I know about the dry-aged. I know about homemade pretzel buns. But this is where I like to go."

我的日常糖果

"The most reliable clue that you're standing in one of the best pastry shops or bakeries in Manhattan Chinatown is the number of elderly folks inside, sipping tea, reading the newspaper, and gossiping about their neighbors. Kamboat (111 Bowery) is one of these places. They make the best egg tart in town, but the key is to flirt with the ladies working the front so they give you a dozen from the freshest batch, usually hidden in the back. There's also a pair of cafés across the street from each other: Spongies (121 Baxter St.) and Kam Hing (118 Baxter St.). Both serve outrageously airy sponge cakes for 85 cents apiece. On my morning grocery runs, I try to get them fresh when they're still warm and enjoy them with a cup of yuenyeung, which is coffee and milk tea, half and half."

Go to Market

“豪华肉类市场[莫特街]在曼哈顿唐人街是镇上最好的杂货店之一。自2001年以来,家族企业一直在服务精美的屠宰肉类,活海鲜,农场新季节性蔬菜,自制糕点和vwin德赢ac米兰在Mott Street和Elizabeth街之间的一条薄薄的霓虹灯地带中的房子烤的烧烤。那里有点天堂,用养殖的鸭和冷冻汤饺子。“

周日早上仪式

“即使是周日早晨最饥饿的最饥饿,我发现自己绝望地走到了Schlep到了何食物vwin德赢ac米兰在东村,谁的台湾早餐套装永远不会让我的新生活涌入我。Richard Ho,厨师,是一个创业板和一个真正的工匠,他们一直在推动每一个成分和每一口的每一口都是完美的。我不认为他让他是我生命的光明。“

Transporting Noodles

“我第一次进入馄饨Maxi's Noodlein Queens, I was transported back home to Hong Kong. Each wonton was the size of a golf ball, stuffed with an entire shrimp and ample, loosely packed pork. The dace fish balls and the crispy fish skin are revelations, too."

Picnic on the Beach

“我一直在火岛上露营的海滩,在奥蒂斯派克消防岛高沙丘荒野,唯一的纽约唯一指定的荒野。我的朋友和我会带来面包,垃圾邮件,方便面,查谟和西班牙文化一个安静的,孤立的周末在沙丘之间,50只距离海洋。“

最喜欢的街区探索

"Jackson Heights, Queens, is a neighborhood of 175,000-plus people that speak at least 167 languages and a robust showcase of global cuisines and culture: Himalayan momo specialists, Mexican taquerias, Colombian sizzling steakhouses, Brazilian kilos, and Thai noodle houses are all next to each other. You could spend hours, if not years, wandering the neighborhood, hopping from bite to bite."
