Neighborhood farm to table spot @lot2restaurant st

Neighborhood farm to table spot @lot2restaurant still puts out my fave NYC burger, its cheddar-covered, lightly seasoned Creekstone Farms grassfed beef perfectly balanced by the acidity of the thin sliced pickles & pickled onions. Great bun too. And their crunchy duck fat, whole potato wedge fries are arguably as good as the burger itself. $21 well spent. In the background, a tasty sour @grimmales Plink acquired at @highlownyc. #nyc #greenwoodheights #brooklyn #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny

Congrats to @highlownyc on the soft opening of their gorgeous cafe. Stop by for a delicious @seycoffee, stock up on craft beer & natural wine from their amazing selection, and grab one of their inventive baked goods crafted in-house. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #bar #craftbeer #naturalwine #bushwick #ridgewood #brooklyn #queens #nyc #thirdwavewichteln

The soy sauce chicken and roast duck from this old

The soy sauce chicken and roast duck from this old school Homecrest Cantonese roast meat place was disappointingly greasy and not particularly flavorful, while the pork had a bit too much of that artificial red coating on the outside and was similarly undelicious. There’s another, more modern spot across the street that I’ll get food from next time. #homecrest #chinatown #brooklyn #nyc #chinesefood #cantonesefood #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny

A voluptuous sourdough bombolone from @leosourdoug

A voluptuous sourdough bombolone from @leosourdough, stuffed to the brim with a fluffy ricotta filling studded with pistachios, the slight heaviness of the fresh cheese tempered by homemade rhubarb jam. Almost entirely unsweet but for the granulated sugar dotting the exterior. What a glorious thing. They’re selling them intermittently via pre-order. Highly recommend - one of my favorite New York City treats. #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #dessert #doughnuts #bomboloni #donuts #nyc #williamsburg #brooklyn #料理 #パン #sourdough #italian #bakery #パン屋 #美味しい #好吃

It’s hard to tell from their online footprint, but NYC’s best Sichuan restaurant @guanfusichuanny is open for takeout. I ordered two of my faves (dry pot chicken & mung bean noodles) and ate them at home w/ @the_rice_factory_ny rice. The mung bean noodles were very ma and very la. Phew. Covid setup is first-rate, involving draped plastic sheets and masks, although signing the receipt with a pen was a bit of a bummer #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #nyc #queens #flushing #covid #chinesefood #sichuanfood #料理　#美食 #好吃 #美味しい

Flushing restaurant 官府川菜 @guanfusichuanny

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.

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.

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

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.
