There are so many choices to eat in the NYC area that it may be impossible to do it all with one visit. Because of this, you should plan your time wisely and tackle all the must go places in the area upon your visit. Plan ahead of time and give yourself time to wait in line and such because these places are the must go to’s!
Chinatown. Chinatown has so many well known restaurants that have been around for generations now and they have not changed much. The food, the restaurant, the traditions were carried down from family to family. One of the must go to restaurants in Chinatown is Big Wong on Mott Street, known for their pork and chicken over rice as well as their congee. A few stores away, another must visit is the Ten Ren bubble tea store which is a twist on the traditional tea drink.
Little Italy. Visiting Little Italy which is blocks away from Chinatown is a must. If you visit Little Italy in the summer, you will be opened to blocked off streets and stores will put forth their small treats in little stands. There are so many restaurants in Little Italy, it is difficult to choose the best. The one recommendation that is a must is Lombardi’s Pizza on Spring street. Enjoy!
