My NYC eating adventure V2
Posted by reb13 on 7/1/14 at 10:14 am10
So like Bbrou I was in NYC this past week and decided to eat my way through it. Through the help of this board and most importantly R2R I had some fantastic dining experiences.
Day 1:
Murrays Bagels: Everything bagel, jalapeno cream cheese and lox. The most expensive bagel I have ever had in my life (11 dollars) but it was un real good, so definitely worth it.
Prosperity Dumpling: This was in china town and was amazing and cheap. I got 12 dumplings and 2 bottles of water for 6.50 and in NYC that is like stealing especially for how good these were.
Fried Pork and Chive
Boiled Chicken
Ma Peche: This is one of the Momofuku restaurants and is served in a dim sum fashion. So you have a main menu that has like 6 entrees and then they come around to you with carts of sides basically or appetizers. This was the cheapest and I think best meal we had but they were all great. For 130 dollars before tip we got a bottle of wine and everything below.
Habanero fried chicken: unreal, seriously unreal
Pork bun:
Rice balls?: Not 100% sure what they called these
Not pictured was a broccoli salad that did a great job of cutting the heat from the chicken and rice balls.
Serendipity 3: We moved restaurants for dessert again amazing.
Banana split:
Day 2:
Went to Murray's again for breakfast.
Pizza by Certe: This was my pizza stop and was pretty disappointed, the pizza was good but not great and I think I just was in a touristy area or something but it did not meet my astronomical expectations.
Scarpetta: The highlight of the day and my mom's favorite meal, this place came highly recommended by R2R so I had to try it and it did not disappoint the meal before tip came out to around 170. This place just really crushed the flavor aspect, every bite was amazing.
Mushroom Polenta:
Duck and foie gras ravioli:
Famous Spaghetti:
Max Brenner's: We got the dark chocolate fondue and it was amazing and extremely rich. The place was dark so most of my pictures came out like crap.
Day 3: We went to the Brooklyn flea market which was a bit of a let down and then Chelsea market which absolutely blew me away.
Brooklyn Flea Market:
Chelsea Market Lobster Place: Best lobster I have ever had and the coolest place and definitely a place you have to go.
La Sirene: Our final dinner, the food was fantastic but the service was really lacking and the pictures kind of suck because it was rather dark.
Bleu Cheese Pear:
Duck:

The spaghetti and the ravioli both look outstanding.
I wish I could make my spaghetti look that amazing.

It was really amazing, you could tell it was simple but the ingredients coupled with the fresh pasta made it great.

Nice writeup! Scarpetta is truly amazing.
Great way to put it. It's insane how much flavor and texture they have going on in every dish. That duck foie gras ravioli is insane.

Thanks for the advice and like a few of you all said yelp is really helpfully. Mostly because people take it quite seriously there and you can tell who knows what they are talking about.

Update 9/26:
I went to buddakan tonight, good Lord it was so good. I am going to gotham bar and grill tomorrow night. I don't seem to be taking as many pictures this time though, sorry.

Looks great but man those portions are small. That spaghetti looks like 3 forks worth
Pizza looked ok but you're in nyc. Go to johns of Bleeker or Lombardis

I haven't had his fried chicken at Ma Peche, but the fried chicken dinner at Momofuko was the best I have ever had

The spaghetti is a LOT bigger than it seems. Had it a few weeks ago. Very filling.
I had breakfast at brooklyn bagel and got the Diablo chipotle cream cheese, it was fire, literally. Lunch was at mercer kitchen off a recommendation form someone here and I had the lamb sandwich, awesome. I seriously never have a bad meal here.
