New York Food
Wet your appetite with these tastebud-tickling NYC food tips:
For breakfast, a bagel a day keeps the doctor away. I recommend New York Muffins for the “Red Bagel” (avocado, cream cheese, pesto and tomato). For Brunch, try Mogador for haloumi poached eggs,
Pastis for French Toast,
Diablo Royale in West Village for the $25 all-you-can-drink brunch or
The Sunburnt Cow in East Village for $20 endless brunch. For lunch, go to Peacock Alley in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel or Le Pain Quotidien. For soul food, you can't beat Amy Ruths or Sylvia’s Restaurant in Harlem. For healthy options, go for the signature avo-egg salad at Yaffa Cafe in East Village, Veggie Burgers and Yam fries at Gobu, the salad buffet at at Whole Foods or frozen yogurt at Pinkberry. For asian infusion with a side of celebrity spotting, try Takahachi.
