#fbf for #NationalDonutDay to these Strawberries and Cream doughnuts @nokidhungry's Taste of the Nation by @underwestdonuts. (at Taste Of The Nation)

The amazing HuTieu Sate @madamevonyc has spices imported straight from Vietnam! Tender Angus sliced flank steak and rice noodles get covered in a Vietnamese saté sauce with peanuts. An exuberant flavor bomb, this dish will only be available for a limited time until the imported spices run out. Really outstanding and deliciously unique! (at Madame Vo)

The delicious June @taimfalafel collab is with Chef @conantnyc of @fusconewyork! With tomato falafel balls, charred eggplant puree, feta and basil. Flip through the pics to see Scott holding my pita and me saucing his falafel with the addictive basil tahini. (at taim)

The @nycamada cheesesteak haa a Spanish Mahon cheese fondue and sauteed wild mushrooms (setas). This Philly original's @brookfieldplny location is participating in Get Low Tuesdays for the next month. Link in bio! #downiswhatsup (at Amada New York)

Veal Milanese pounded thin and fried crisp, with arugula, radicchio and parmesan @pizzeriasirenetta on the UWS. (at Pizzeria Sirenetta)

After a very meaty MDW, craving Chef @wil__i_am's head-on whole grilled BotanEbi SpotPrawn from Hokkaido @ato_nyc. With a background in classical French cooking, ChefWilliamShen's omakase Tasting menu is a beautiful presentation of both cooked and raw food using only the best of ingredients. This Soho gem is a great place for dinner with the 7 course PreFixe starting at $58. (at Restaurant Ato)

The incredibly tender BoLucLac @madamevonyc is made with an Angus ribeye and comes out sizzling on a cast iron skillet. This Vietnamese Shaking Beef is definitely the best I've ever had, and I woke up thinking that it's the perfect breakfast with that egg! The owners of this East Village gem are really taking Vietnamese Food in NYC to the next level, executing authentic dishes made with premium quality ingredients. Check my IGstories, their Hu Tieu Satay noodles with spices imported from Vietnam is also a dish you won't want to miss. (at Madame Vo)

Closing out MDW weekend @emmysquaredpizza with these fried cheddar cheese curds. I am SO excited for their new West Village Manhattan location, officially opening up in a couple of weeks! Nearly had a coniption when I spotted their awning walking through my hood today. (at Emmy Squared)

Happy National Burger Day! You have a few more days to get the May monthly special @5napkinburger! The Spicy Baja with all natural Aspen Ridge Angus chuck, Mexican "pimento" cheese, chorizo chili and crispy jalapeños. Messy but delicious. (at 5 Napkin Burger - 14th St)

I love Pani Puri, a common Indian street snack. @pondicheri these crispy hollowed out semolina puffs are filled with a mix of potato, lentil and mango. You carefully pour in jal jeera, a tamarind, cumin & mint broth to fill it halfway, and then eat the whole thing in one bite - literally a party in your mouth exploding with flavors! Also love my classic black @danielwellington watch - use code RGROUPIE for 15% off! #DanielWellington #ad (at Pondicheri)

Happy FryDay of MDW! Crispy AF shrimp tempura 🍤🍤🍤 and creamy crab croquettes @barmoga. That housemade tartar sauce doe. 😋 Really love this new cocktail bar from the @sakamaiNY team. An Izakaya on Houston with delicious bites and amazing Japanese inspired cocktails. You want to start your holiday weekend here. (at Bar Moga)

What's more baller than having the owner of @mightyquinnsbbq slicing BBQ at your party? Yes, that's @hughman37's tattooed elbow. Brisket and Pulled Pork to start your MDW! Congrats to my girl @befatbehappy and all her success!!! 😘 (at Mighty Quinn's Barbeque)

Wei's World in Williamsburg serves legit delicious Chinese Food until 4AM! Great XLB, blistered string beans and their hot and sour soup has incredible depth. Run by a talented Chinese chef and Blue Ribbon alum, definitely worth checking out. Wish it was closer to me to satisfy late night munchies.... (at Wei's World)

Excited to return to Chef @conantnyc's @fusconewyork for a wonderful @tastingtable #TTinsider dinner! Perfectly seared scallops with ginger sofrito, JobsTears, braised baby fennel, and a vinaigrette of cockles and parsley root. Fantastic wine pairings by @nickduble. Have always loved Scott Conant's food since L'impero days and his latest venture in NYC is a fantastic addition to this crazy Flatiron food block. (at Fusco)

Glistening thick cut bacon, crispy and hot, fresh off the grill @markjosephateakhouse stand today @downtownnyc's Dine Around Downtown. I took over @downtownnyc's IG stories today! Go check out all the delicious bites I had on their stories! #downiswhatsup (at Getlow: Dine Around Downtown)
