NYC Hidden Gems

I love food & New York arguably has some of the best food in the world. This map holds all of my absolute favorite places to eat in the city. These are the places I frequent & always recommend to friends when they visit.

Most of these recommendations are in Manhattan, but there are a couple in other boroughs. And as I said, more will come. The genre of these restaurants ranges from nicer to quick grab-and-go spots, with options for Mexican, Mediterranean, American,  Malaysian, Cuban, Jamaican, Latin-inspired, & Italian food - plus a couple of food hall options & doughnuts! 

This is a living map. By living, I mean that I will continue adding more places to this map when I come across them & you'll automatically get the updates!

It's truly a map of my favorite places to eat in the City, so if you've followed me for a while & just want to check out my favorite spots, this map is for you!

NYC Top Eats by a Local 

Mama's TOO!

7.8 - Definitely some of the best Detroit style pizza I've ever had, although it still can't beat the classic NY thin crust (which is why it stays in the 7s).  Honestly, staying classic here is the way to go (faves were the vodka and pepperoni), even though trying the weird flavors were definitely tasty and fun!  Poached pear leaned on being dessert given the sweetness but was definitely a polarizing slice.  

There will be a line at this place, but not as crazy as other places. Honestly, this pizza is so good that I'm surprised the line isn't even longer

Really creative slices but comes with a line, be prepared to wait or order ahead/delivery. 

Suggestion from Annie, best pizza she’s had! 2 locations.
