My half had extra mozzarella, though there were 2 other cheeses I also could have added.

That's potentially 6 meals for the keen and greedy!

Actually contemplating a trip to America based on this thread.

[off topic] Do you pronounce your name Pate as in hate, or Pate as in duck liver pate on toast?

Pate · 20 Apr 2012 at 14:03

as in the tasty food.

Seemed like a good idea, though it often provokes a desire for pate.

Like now.

Damn.

I really want a Five Guys Burger

I'm off to New York in a couple of weeks time (going to PA for a conference, then spending a week on the way back in NY) and look forward to trying a couple of these restaurants! Krooton - did you find these by word of mouth or by TripAdvisor? So many good restaurants on TA, but we're only there for a week!

My old manager told me about Lombardis, the rest were all recommendations by my gf's brother-in-law who was living over there.

We went to the above for lunch, evening meals are a bit on the pricy side but lunch time menu can be had for $27 for 3 courses.

If you want a prime time slot for evening meals you are looking at months booking in advance, tried to book an evening meal on the day and was offered 6:45pm or 10:45pm....

The food is a mix of oriental and western and it is sooo sooooo good.

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.

I can't see the pictures

I never had a burger whilst I was in NYC
