my husband & I visited the city this past weekend! we lived here & had to move away last year for job opportunities on the west coast. since moving away, we’ve missed nyc so much, specifically our fav eats. we’ve decided that we’ll visit at least once a year until we move back… mainly to visit our fav restaurants!
- Shawarma Bay – our favorite cart!
- Sami’s Kabab House (Astoria location) – the best kabuli pulao & most tender chicken
- Nishaan – first time visiting, got the bihari barbacoa tacos, which were very flavorful!
- Pizza Loves Sauce
- Zyara – the absolute best chicken shawarma spot. And the lemonade is sour & sweet in the best way!
- Little Flower Cafe – the best breakfast burritos!
- Butter
- L'Appartement 4F (wv location)- I know not everyone loves their croissants, but this one was perfect
- Thin Cookies – new to me, the chocolate chips were really good
- Popup Bagels – these used to be so good, but this time they were not our fav. would not visit again!
- Little Flower Cafe – afghan pink tea! so good!
- Kaafi – one of our absolute fav coffee shops. they also have a great spread of pastries! the vibes are also so cozy.
- Cafe Paradiso – brown butter oat latte. worth the hype if you want a sweet treat!
- qahwah house – the best yemeni latte!
- devocion – my absolute fav simple oat milk latte. i would visit the lex 53 location weekly when we lived here!
these are some new & old classics we love to visit! hoping to share some hidden gems!
