NYC Hidden Gems

NYC Hidden Gems

Jen Sierra
These are my favorite spots around NYC including the ones I gatekeep or don't talk about too much... you'll find affordable restaurants/bars, the cheapest spa in the city, escapes that make you forget you're in the city, etc.

Valla Table

I guarantee there isn't a better Thai spot in the city. I always get this as comfort food and it's so hard to share this one if I'm honest.. heh

Piccolo Angolo
@jensierra
This is the BEST family-owned Italian restaurant. I fell in love with their pear pasta... yes I said pear; I was also skeptical.

Madame Vo

I'm so particular about my pho having grown up with it and this is my favorite one in the city! There are delicious vegetarian options too (I'm pescatarian so I always get it)

This rooftop Italian spot in Flatiron Eataly has a seasonal menu that is absolutely delicious! It's not just a pretty rooftop, they have great food to match it.

Parm Upper West Side
@jensierra
Not enough people talk about this place (but it does get crowded so I guess they do). However, this is was opened by the same people who opened Carbone!! A lot of the same (or similar) recipes for half of the price

Bengal Tiger

You cannot find a better Indian spot in the city at this price. They have a 3-course meal for $25 with so many options to choose from! And their mango lassi is incredible.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jen Sierra
Hi guys! Happy to see you here :) I'm a NYC-based travel creator who grew up in Atlanta, GA and previously studied/worked in London, but I have been traveling since I was just 6 months old! My family truly created my love for travel as I am half Indonesian visiting my family, my dad has a PHD in German and visits every few years, etc. I am trusted by travelers on social media to create the ultimate guides/itineraries and find "money-worthy" spots to share; NYC and Paris are my most popular locations! I wouldn't call myself a luxury traveler, but I'm not a budget traveler either, somewhere in between that gets the most bang for your buck. I love a balance between adventure and slow travel because working a 9-5 has taught me the importance of balance! It has also taught me how to maximize my time to be able to travel frequently (my friends don't understand how I do it haha)
