Flushing restaurant 官府川菜 @guanfusichuanny hasn’t lost a step in the 3 years it’s been open - if anything it’s better than ever. I’m already plotting my next visit - number 18. :) I crave their Suan Cai Yu - hot and sour fish soup w/ pickled mustard greens, with its complex broth, variety of different chili peppers, and house pickled greens. So soothing and delicious.
Their mapo tofu is my fave in the city, and all of their dry hot pots are wonderful as well. This time we ordered pork and shrimp. Other dishes included their noteworthy rendition of ox tongue and tripe and another cold appetizer, their homemade mung bean noodles (a fave among our group), string beans with pork, and their signature razor clams with a refreshing mala tingle.
New York City is lucky to have a Chinese restaurant of this caliber - easily the best Sichuan restaurant and probably the best Chinese restaurant in the city as well. Please go support it in these difficult times. Last night there were only a few tables eating.

Garlic shoots w/ chicken liver so fresh and delicious. Ground pork spicy AF with an underlying deep, rounded flavor. So good. #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #thaifood #料理 #美味しい #nyc #queens #elmhurst

@rometobrooklynpizza didn’t have any blueberry slices yesterday but @ristretto88 and I enjoyed the ones we did have.

In the literal shadow of Hudson Yards, surrounded by ultra-modernity, this place keeps doing its thing. #vintage #vintagesigns #vanishingny #vanishingnyc #sign #signs #nyc #manhattan #hudsonyards #flaneur #signage #nycstreets

Supposedly this place won tasting competitions in Japan - that’s not going to happen in NYC. Meh AF, if that’s a thing + undercooked noodles. Not cheap. #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #japanesefood #ramen 料理 #nyc #manhattan #eastvillage

Nigel, the brains behind Bushwick’s new @dripcoffeenyc, stocks a crazy number of different coffee roasters, a selection rivaling even that of @blackfoxcoffeeco. His mainstay espresso is @varietycoffee, usually a blend and a single origin, with other roasters available as pourover. Last visit I had a @blackwhiteroasters Gesha Village Natural. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #カフェ#コーヒー　#咖啡 #brooklyn #bushwick #nyc

Beautiful vintage BedStuy signage. When I was taking the photo the owner came out and told me I should ask permission first. Haha. #sign #vanishingny #vanishingnyc #vintage #design #nyc #brooklyn #bedstuy #bedfordstuyvesant

Yeah the pizza was good, but the sourdough bombolone @leosourdough changed my life.
Creamy ricotta and darkly sweet pink lemonade marmalade (if I caught that correctly) encased in a fluffy dough exterior with just the right amount of chew. What a perfect thing. And not sweet at all except for the marmalade.

I was pleasantly surprised by the contents of yesterday’s pastry box from the @konbi popup at @goldendinerny. Their signature flaky pain au chocolat was perfect, the citrus glazed pound cake was moist and not oversweet, and the red walnut tart had a depth of flavor and was similarly not oversweet. $18 is a bit excessive for that, but I’m glad I tried it. #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #nyc #chinatown #pastry #dessert #croissant #painauchocolat #美味しい #甘い #料理

Monumentally disappointing Kawi set meal for close to $30. A dull hunk of fish and terrible quality rice. It really made me miss stellar Japanese set meals that clock in at half that price or less. I guess it’s supposed to be Korean food or East Asian, but the only nod that way was the insipid miso soup. @momolongplay should be embarrassed to serve this stuff. #nyc #hudsonyards #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny

The pho ga @hanoisoup is just so good.

Another amazing hotpot meal at Flushing’s Chongqing Lao Zao - it never disappoints. Delicious broth, quality ingredients.
Flushing was a ghost town and this restaurant was far emptier than normally - sad to see.

Today’s @khaokangnyc was amazing, as always. $11 for 3 things, one which was spicy AF, plus an extra egg.
This was the final stop after a short coffee crawl with @premshree , @ristretto88 , @lisa.matchata
Photos are in reverse order.
3 - a pretty @varietycoffee macchiato @winsonbakery
2 - the best espresso I’ve had in a while, a beautifully balanced, light bodied, sweet Mas Morenos Honduras @seycoffee
1 - a visit to @dripcoffeenyc , a new Bushwick shop, after being alerted to its opening by @coffeebydre and @bgaffnbk #coffee #cafe #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #espresso #specialtycoffee #nyccoffee #咖啡 #コーヒー #カフェ#food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #thaifood #料理 #好吃

The Noho branch of @kettltea opened today. I was there for the creamy, delicious soba/matcha gelato, made for them w/ their tea by @icecreamlab. They also have cute little Japanese style puddings in 3 flavors: houjicha, matcha, soba. #japanese #japanesefood #icecream #gelato #nyc #noho #eastvillage #manhattan #cafe #matcha #soba #料理　#アイスクリーム #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodstagram

Dug up this 2008 shot of Smith Union Market from my Flickr time capsule. It’s a gorgeous Carroll Gardens vintage sign. It doesn’t look nearly so good now, festooned with stickers. #vintage #vintagesign #nyc #brooklyn #carrollgardens #red inspired by @portnoys_complaint #signgeeks
