If you are a foodie visiting New York, you're probably planning on visiting Mario Batali's Eataly where
you'll wander the crowded aisles a bit dazed. Glass fronted counters
and small eating areas display the best that Italy has to offer,
including pizza, pasta, cheese, salumi, fish, local produce, prepared
food, pastries and candies.
You'll wish you'd brought a spare suitcase to cart all these great
products home. That's the temptation of New York. So many great
celebrity chefs and so much great, albeit expensive food, and so little
time.
But wait! Don't spend all your money on high-end restaurants and eateries.
Stick to the neighborhoods. Eat the way locals do. Find the small
restaurants and take out holes-in-the wall that feed New Yorkers as they
speed through their insanely busy days.
Everyone has their favorite places to eat in New York. On a recent trip,
I revisited my favorites and enjoyed myself all over again. Here's a
quick trip through half a dozen I think you'll enjoy.
