New York Restaurant Recommendations 🌟

August Gatherings — Classic Cantonese Cuisine in New York 🍔 📍102 Bowery, New York, NY 10013 Huge portions here! Two people can order four dishes and still have enough to take home for another meal. The scallion oil chicken is incredibly tender, with no hint of gaminess. The plum duck is sweet but refreshingly fragrant and not greasy at all. The minced pork with long beans is full of wok hei (that smoky, charred flavor). The lobster cheung fun is a bit bland, but my friend loved it. Haha! 😄 ✔ Reservations recommended; walk-ins on a weekday night are almost impossible. 💰 Per person: $80+ (But trust me, it's worth it for the amount of food you get!) La Pecora Bianca — The Ultimate Brunch Spot 🥪 📍20 W 40th St, New York, NY 10018 (There are multiple locations, but I’ve only been to this one.) Perfect for a girls' brunch! The fried zucchini blossoms completely changed my mind about them—they're delicious! The pasta is solid, but in my heart, Cento still takes the crown. 🤭 ✔ Reservations are optional. 💰 Per person: $60+ #NewYork 🌃
