Eating my way around New York
10 days in NYC and a whole lotta eating. Here are some of my favourites…
Lobster Joint
Ahhhh, these sliders were the best!
Lobster Joint do excellent seafood. And what’s even better their happy hours let us enjoy much of that seafood for way cheaper. How cheap? We’re talking $1 oysters and $4 lobster, oyster and crab cake sliders. Couple that with $4 cocktails and beers and you’ll be seafood/alcohol drunk by 6.30pm guaranteed.
St Anselm
St Anselm’s butcher’s steak will be one of the best ways you could ever spend $16.
Holy crap this is amazing steak. You have to go and get their $16 butcher’s steak and their mashed potato. I would go back there in a second if I could.

The Elm
The Elm’s foie gras. I chose this and the duck.
Fancy and new The Elm in Brooklyn is one of those places that serve food so immaculately presented that you don’t really want to ruin it. However, the food here is as tasty as it is pretty and isn’t as expensive as you’d think it’d be.

Momofuku Noodle Bar
Come for the ramen, stay for the baos.
Okay, the ramen is a bit whatever (I’d hit up Ippudo for their ramen instead) but the baos are awesome.
Also if you can, book yourself in for the Momofuku fried chicken. You need a minimum of 4 people to do it and it looks really, really good.
Shake Shack
Shake Shack – my ultimate burger.
This is the burger that started off my whole thing for burgers. 5 years later and it’s still as good as I remember it. I think I can say that it’s my most favourite burger of all time. Don’t forget to get a shake too.
Katz’s Delicatessen
Look at that meat!
One of those places “you have to go to” when you’re in NYC. Sure it’s over priced, but the meat to bread ratio is solid.
2 things:
- The salty pastrami will leave you crazy thirsty. Like crazy thirsty.
- Tip the guy making your sandwich. He’ll give you bonus meat. And we all like bonus meat.
Grand Central Oyster Bar
Oyster bar in Grand Central. Pretty grand…
Okay I think we ordered wrong (crab salad sandwich and po’ boy) because these weren’t that great. But I still think this place is one for the list because it’s old school New York eating which has to be experienced. Next time I would get the New England chowder again because it was creamy and delicious and then I would have oysters because the oyster stand looked serious.
Baohaus
Baohaus – the Chairman Bao and fried chicken. Niiiiiice.
Love this place. The baos are seriously so good. I usually snuck 1 or 2 in as a pre-meal snack.
