No I don't live here, BUT I've been visiting at least 5-6x a year since I was 10 and I'm manyyyy years older than that now, so I feel like I'm fairly qualified to give some quality recs!

Quick Bites To Eat
Quick Bites To Eat
Cheap and delicious…there WILL be a line, but it WILL be worth it, and you WILL be dreaming of these until you come back for more.
LOS TACOS No.1
Food vendors galore in here, and honestly you can't go wrong! My faves are Los Tacos and Filaga Pizzera.
Chelsea Market
No lie I actually dream about these cookies - DREAM about them. They are a must-have every time I'm in the city, and I typically default to chocolate chip walnut, but I'm not picky - any variety will do!
Levain Bakery
Best bagel in NYC is always up for debate, but my vote goes to Pop Up - hands down. The bages are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, you can tear and dip into their to-die-for schmears, and because they are so light and fluffy it's easy to ea... Best combo is a salt bagel with scallion schmear - just trust me.
PopUp Bagels
Tbh - the pizza isn't the best you'll ever have - but it's pretty good, and it's a NY staple so it's basically illegal not to eat a slice there at least once.
Joe's Pizza
You've probably seen every influencer in NYC holding a Ralph's coffee cup, and for good reason…the coffee is delicious (and expensive 😬). But c'mon - you're in New York City - if there's anytime to splurge, it's now!
