NYC Food Diary: Salt Bae's Steak + Magnolia's Legendary Banana Pudding

This food adventure was one for the books—from iconic sweets to theatrical dining! Let’s start with the queen of desserts: Magnolia Bakery 🧁 I’ll forever dream about their legendary banana pudding and delicate cupcakes. So much so, I actually bought their official recipe kit to try recreating the magic at home… 😭 Plot twist: TSA confiscated the "secret ingredient" pouch at the airport. The magic remains safely in NYC (for now). Then came the main event: Nusret Gökçe (aka Salt Bae)’s restaurant 🥩 If you’ve ever seen his viral videos, you know what to expect—drama, flair, and yes, that iconic salt sprinkle. The waiters here are true performers—each one adding their own theatrical touch to the service. It’s a show from start to finish! The steak? Good—but let’s be real, you come for the experience, not just the food 😉 Two very different, very New York experiences—one sweet, one salty, both totally memorable. #MagnoliaBakery #BananaPudding #SaltBaeNYC #Nusret #NYCFoodDiary #SteakAndCake #FoodMemories 🎭✨
