Los Tacos No 1
If you are coming to New York then you just can’t miss Los Tacos. Los Tacos No 1 is a Tacos chain and they have several outlets in New York City. I went to both the Times Square and the Grand Central outlet of Los Tacos No 1. The queue was way longer at the Times square outlet compared to other outlets. The tacos were completely worth it. I tried all the three meat varieties and also tried Cactus which is the vegetarian option. You have the option to choose flour or Corn tortilla. I tried both and I loved the flour one more than the corn one. This was undoubtedly the best tacos I ever had in my life. There are also options to try traditional Mexican drinks at the Taco outlet.
Little Havana
Little Havana restaurant is located near times square and you get the best Cuban Sandwich in New York at this restaurant. I visited the place at around 10 pm and it was tough to get a table at that place. The meat was very tender and I really loved juicy flavor of the sandwich.
KATZ’s DELICATESSEN
Katz’s is located in lower Manhattan area near the financial district. The restaurant is famous for the amazing beef pastrami sandwich. The cost of the sandwich is around USD 25 and two person can easily share the sandwich. You get good portion of beef pastrami and two pickled vegetables to eat with the sandwich. The restaurant is huge and it was full during my visit. Apart from the famous pastrami sandwich you will get lot of other different kinds of sandwich. Initially you get a ticket and you will proceed towards the sandwich maker. There are around 15 sandwich maker and 1 stall for drinks. After you pick up food and drinks you find a place to sit & enjoy the food. After you finish your food you use the ticket to pay at the counter. It is tough to find place to sit together if you are visiting the place with group of more than 2 people.
Gray’s Papaya
Gray’s Papaya is located at 72nd street near Central Park. Gray’s papaya serves the best hot dog in NYC. I opted for two hot dog combo along with papaya drink. The drink was absolutely amazing and very unique. You can customize the hotdog according to your taste. The place very small and there is no seating area inside.
Magnolia Bakery
Magnolia Bakery has lot of shops around Manhattan and it is famous for banana pudding. You can also try carrot pudding at the bakery. The banana pudding was absolutely stunning and it lives up to the hype. A medium size banana pudding is more than enough to get you going. The bakery is also known for desserts, pudding, cakes and cookies.
Luke’s Lobster
The restaurant is situated near Brooklyn bridge and it is famous for its lobster rolls. I ordered the combo platter which includes three kinds of small rolls (prawn, crab and lobster). I really loved the unique location of the shop and the lobster roll was absolutely brilliant.
WOLFGANG STEAKHOUSE
New York city is world famous for its steakhouse. You need to have reservation in advance if you are visiting popular steakhouse during the weekend. I visited the steakhouse during weekday and it was very easy to find a table. The steakhouses in NYC use best US Angus Beef and the steaks are dry aged. I tried the Sirloin steak and it was absolutely delicious. It is a great location to visit with friends and they have different outlets all over NYC. Per person you need to budget around USD 100 for the dining experience with drinks.
