kr00t0n vs New York

6 days in New York, and I decided to chronicle my eats

Five Guys (West Village) - Burger place, best burgers I have ever had:

Ruthys Bakery (Chelsea Market) - Deli with a delicious variety of goodies. Steak sandwich and cajun chicken panini pictured.

Shake Shack (Just off Central Park) - Very good burgers, but not worth the 30+ minute queue imo.

Lombardis Pizza (East Village) - NOM NOM NOM!

Magnolia Bakery (West Village) - Luckily it was around the corner, so we could avoid queues. World class cakes, Red Velvet cake and Cinnamon muffin pictured.

Philip Marie (West Village) - Great place for brunch, good value portions. Lumberjack breakfast pictured, 3 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 buttermilk pancakes, streaky bacon, bread and griddle potatoes.

White Horse (New Jersey) - Really nice place with really nice food. Calamari starter and Ribeye pictured.

Such a great holiday, and in spite of doing a massive amount of walking, I still put on 5lbs.

Going there for Christmas this year. Some nice looking meals (and some grim ones- the steak looks cremated!) so thanks for sharing!

Some of that food looks so tasty, that pizza looks absolutely massive.

Hope you had a good trip.

The pizza looks amazing. I agree about the steak though, looks cremated

I would return with a few extra stone on me.

Looks great! Burgers, pizza, cheesecake, steak- America certainly have these niches nailed. Not the place for subtley but for treats their food can take some beating.

I don't think I could eat so much fast food and stodge for 6 days! The pizzas looked good though and the calamari.

Hope you had fun. It's one of my aims to go to NYC one day.

I also ate there when I was over. Absolutely loved it in there - some nice pizza's. Was a shame they don't know how to do spicy though.

I never had a burger whilst I was in NYC

I feel like I have failed at life now.

That's like going to Oktoberfest and sticking to mineral water!

That Five Guys burger makes me weep. Nothing in the UK that I have had compares to the way that looks. Pure soft, juicy goodness.
