A Foodies Guide to New York City

New York City is simply bursting to the brim in restaurants, bars, food trucks and waffle houses, but it can be a mind field in knowing where to get a decent bite without 1. Being ripped off and 2. Getting food poisoning! Here is a foodies guide to NYC, where I cover over thirty brunching, lunching, cocktail bars, fine dining and continental cuisine locations. Written in chronological order for a day of 'eating out and about' in this gorgeous city.
