New York To-do

Christine Ha: Excellent schmear like the jalapeño asiago 👍🏼

Christine Ha: Tasty & cheap. Pork belly 👍🏼

Christine Ha: $7 for huge portion. Mix chicken & lamb gyro over rice. Extra white sauce. Red is spicy--eat at your own risk. Look for yellow shirts that say "original."

Christine Ha: Corn cookie, choco on choco cookie, cereal milk. Multiple locations. 🍪👍🏼

Christine Ha: Pork buns. Revolving menu but get corn pie for dessert if available. Great ambience.

Christine Ha: Best tonkotsu ramen. Good pork buns & baby octopus salad. Sometimes long wait--leave name on list & go drink elsewhere. 🍜

Christine Ha: Best speakeasy. Unpretentious, cozy, excellent cocktails. Parties must be <4. Go upstairs to Izakaya, enter unmarked door on left. 🍸💛👍🏼

Christine Ha: Jiro's former apprentice. Omakase at the bar if available. Get sake pairing. 🍣

Christine Ha: Spicy noodles yum. Spinach dumplings good. Bao burger meh.

Christine Ha: Extremely long wait but best blueberry pancakes ever. Maple butter is key. Grits & double smoked bacon also 👍🏼. Put name on list & come back later.

Christine Ha: One of the best cocktail bars ever though expensive--~$20 per drink. Down an alley with a beaker demarcation & bouncer. 🍸
