Eating my way around New York City!




Hi Followers!


Sorry that there has been a delay since my last post, but I've been working hard and eating well for the last week, for you!

As it was WKU's Spring Break, I headed up to New York
City with my mom and dad to visit my sister, Katie, an aspiring actress who is making her way in the big city by auditioning practically constantly!

While in Manhattan and the other boroughs we were able to do some of Katie's favorite things and eat at her favorite restaurants.

Let's get started exploring the city!

After arriving in the city, Katie led us to the subway and we made our way
to Little Italy. After being called and pleaded to by the many front-workers for the restaurants, we decided on "Caffe Napoli."

This delicious Cannelloni rivaled what I had eaten last year in Italy. The al dente pasta and fresh sauce and chee
ses paired exquisitely with the chicken and spinach filling.

For an affordable trip to Italy, be sure to visit Caffe Napoli, located at 191 Mulberry Street, right outside of Chinatown.

For dessert, two nights in a row, we went to Ferrara's. With a huge selection of Italian pastries, cakes, cookies, gelato, and other
desserts, you can't go only one time! Over my two visits I ate: a piece of delicious carrot cake, a small cannoli (with perfectly flavored filling), a daquise, and a fruit tart!

Here is a view of their many desserts! Having been in New York for over 100 years, it should be a stop
on your next trip!

Max Brenner a chocolate themed is a delicious oasis that everyone will enjoy. A very extensive menu coupled with beautiful plating techniques and even more exquisite food will make you want to come back! Be sure to get the waffle fries dusted with cocoa powder and ask for the chocolate ranch dressing. You absolutely will not regret this!

In between seeing the wonderful Broadway musicals, "In the Heights" and "next to normal," I continued eating!

For what has been touted as the best Chinese Food in New York, head to Chelsea and visit Grand Sichuan!

There truly is no other way to describe the restaurant except exceptional and truly amazing! The meal on the restaurant was only
$9.55 and the portion could have easily made for another serving.


Well, there you have it. There are some great recommendation that you can eat in New York while remaining on a budget, but living that New York experience!


See you next time!
