🍽️ NYC Food Diary | From $10 Clay Pots to Michelin Bites

Ate my way through NYC until even my stretchy pants protested—here’s the delicious damage: 🔥 Cheap & Cheerful 📍 King’s Kitchen (Chinatown) $15 triple clay pot rice: Chicken + brisket (CRISPY BOTTOM 🤤) Pro move: Add tofu stew & roast duck 🍔 Splurge-Worthy 📍 Au Cheval "Best burger of my life" – bf’s verdict (bacon = mandatory 🥓) Fried chicken: Shatter-crispy skin + gochujang-esque glaze 📍 Peter Luger (Brooklyn) Porterhouse > Wolfgang’s (controversial but true) Regret: Skipping the schlag (next time!) ☕ Brunch Spots 📍 Two Hands Tribeca Walnut bread FOMO 😭 Asian-ish cold noodles (weirdly good) Vibe: Staff low-key judges you (or is it me?) 📍 Need Recs! Comment your underrated brunch spots 👇 🍶 Comfort Food Kings 📍 Cho Dang Gol (K-town) Braised short rib + kimchi stew = soul warmth Hack: Go at 3PM to dodge lines 🍦 Sweet Relief 📍 Madame Fay’s Pistachio fro-yo cup: Thick like gelato, $9 well spent 🥃 Overhyped? 📍 The Dead Rabbit Cocktails: Meh (I prefer Bar Goto) Food saves it: Lamb chops + duck fat fries 🍟 📍 Hirohisa $45 chirashi bowl: "It’s… fine?"
