I’ve been asked by a few peeps how I constructed my weekend of NYC eats. With so many options and so little time my sis and I didn’t want to waste one of our precious meals. I scouted out some reputable foodies, compiled their lists into one giant list, and highlighted restaurants with multiple mentions. Thrilled to have made a small dent in this list, excited to return and work on it some more. Thanks to Minnie, Laura, Kelsey, Hungry Grls, Taza, Leslie, & Marisel for your brilliant recommendations.

Hi Morgan! Thank you so much! I made those updates. I shuffled a couple of things around on the post recently. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

It’d be awesome if you could search genres of food on your website. Ie: breakfasts in nyc etc.
Brooke Eliason
Love the suggestion! Thank you so much.
