Along with the Statue of Liberty, yellow cabs and skyscrapers, food is a quintessential component of New York City. Its status as a cultural melting pot means you can eat your way across the globe within the confines of one city, taking in some iconic dishes along the way.
Don’t leave New York without trying…
1. Gnocchi
When it comes to pasta, New Yorkers love gnocchi, and both rustic and modern versions are available city-wide. Clay, a farm-to-table restaurant in uptown Manhattan, offers gnocchi served with mildly sweet butternut squash, crunchy hazelnuts, fresh sage, maitake mushrooms and pickled Fresno chillies.
2. Nasi lemak
New York’s food scene will take you around the world. Look out for Singaporean hawker-style venues that fuse intensely flavourful Chinese, Indian and Malay cuisines. Be sure to try nasi lemak, a fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk served with spicy lamb curry, crispy fried anchovies, a hard-boiled egg and fresh sliced cucumber.
3. Ramen
Going out for ramen on a cold or rainy day in New York is a local pastime. The Japanese staple of wheat noodles in a meat or fish-based hot broth is typically flavoured with soy sauce, miso, or garlic oil and heightened with toppings like sliced pork belly, dried seaweed, bamboo shoots and soft-boiled egg.Almost every ramen noodle soup in New York offers its own variation, from the Okinawa (a chicken broth seasoned with yuzu and sake lees) served at ROKC to the tonkotsu (pork bone broth) found on Jin Ramen’s menu.
4. Fiery cocktails
Setting fire to a cocktail is a great way for creative bartenders to impress patrons. But experienced mixologists know that the flames aren’t just for showing off – to do this right, it takes finesse, precision and an understanding of how the fire can enhance the flavours of the liquor used in a cocktail. The Honeywell does it best with the cinnamon torched cocoa butter in their Disco Inferno, a drink made with rum, beer, orange oils and agave.
5. Milkshake
This classic is more of a dessert than a drink. You can find the standard chocolate, strawberry or vanilla-flavoured milkshakes at almost every ice cream shop in the city, but if you’re looking for something special, with over-the-top candy and ice cream flavours, be sure to visit Black Tap.
