Six days of tasty food in NYC

Okay here goes. I am from Ottawa, Canada. I just got back from close to a week in New York. I stayed in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn. I walked miles in sweltering heat and ate lots of good food along the way. Lots of inspiration from this group and a few random selections based more on the room and location than necessarily the food. All the food was great though BTW. My only gripe (likely a plus for most) was portion size. I hate food waste but a couple of the lunches were way too big for me. Let me know what you think and what I missed. I usually visit about 4 times a year.

1. Luigi’s Pizza – South Slope Brooklyn. This was a really delicious slice. The crust was perfect.

2. Atoboy – Oxtail, various kimchi, seaweed rice and boneless fried chicken. I asked if they could box the fried chicken supplement to go and they did with no problem. I ate 2 there and took the rest home. I really enjoyed my meal at Atoboy. Great food and service.

3. Cafe Sabarsky – Upper East Side – German Sausage stuffed with cheese, dill potato salad, horse radish and coleslaw. I could lonely eat one sausage. Food was delicious and service very informative and friendly. The thinly sliced potato salad was delicious.

4. Dirt Candy – Lower East Side – This was a Twinkie tomato thing on their tasting menu. Service was upbeat and quirky. Food was interesting and mostly good.

5. Tacos Morelos Food Truck – 5th Ave. Park Slope Brooklyn. This was the Carne Asado. I’m not a taco expert but this is way better than any have had back home.

6. A&A Roti and Doubles – Bed Stuy – This was my food highlight. The entire experience was fantastic. The oxtail roti did me in though. Enough for a whole family.

7. Sardi’s – Broadway area – A pre-show very touristy but highly recommended bite. I had the shrimp cocktail and French onion soup. Both were exactly as they should be. Also note: no plastic cup for the cocktail sauce 😀

These and a lot of other great breakfast food etc not mentioned made for an amazing trip.
