The BOMB. Required viewing or eating or BOTH.

If you ever wondered where all those donuts in bodegas and food carts come from. Amazing people and operation.

Where Cabbies Eat. Community in food. :)

Great food from great people! Take our money. Also maybe adopt us.

Lucali Pizza One man making every pizza in a popular shop he opened in the neighborhood he grew up in. Inspiring stuff. 

Mo’s Burgers Harlem Institution.

Albanese Meats & Poultry “We Got-cha Steaks!“

Opening an NYC Restaurant During the Pandemic “It takes a certain kind of crazy to open a restaurant in NYC.”- Anthony Bourdain May the odds ever be in your favor you intrepid souls.

The 21 Club A favorite of nearly any 20th century celebrity and every US President since FDR. An irreplaceable loss to city culture amongst this global pandemic. 

Batter up! (Shopsins) RIP Kenny, a true NYC original character. Happy to hear that his daughter is continuing the tradition at the reopened Essex Market.

Farrell’s (Documentary Trailer)

Acuario Cafe Sacred and secret, this place was shared with me by adventurous coworkers when I worked in the neighborhood ages ago.

Bernstein’s on Essex

DOSA man A story as heartwarming as his food. Seek him out. 

White Horse Tavern One of the oldest bars (and buildings) in NYC. Sold to a convicted slumlord. If you can, step in and check out this original before it disappears.

Fraunces Tavern When the Founding Fathers decided to break from the British this is where they celebrated the moment. Fraunces still has that bar tab from that night which is, unsurprisingly, epic. 

Tony’s Beechhurst, Queens “I want to go to there.“
