Heading to NY,Buffalo next week or the week after for a 3 day trip for work. Was in NYC about a year ago but was with my wife and daughter.So….any restaurants or spots I should definitely should check out?
Cafe Gitane is a great French/moroccan cafe I like to go to whenever I’m in town. It’s just east of the Bowery. Good stop on way to Highline or on way to the Whitney from Soho
Highly recommend the baked eggs with merguez sausage
Duff’s - didn’t invent wings, but theirs are better than The Anchor Bar.
Any restaurant that serves beef on a weck sandwiches. Thin-sliced roast beef on kimmelweck bread. DELICIOUS.
As for side trips, take the 30-minute drive to Niagara Falls if you’ve never seen it and bring your passport. Niagara Falls, New York, is a shithole. Head over the Rainbow Bridge (great view of Horseshoe Falls) to the Ontario side. Kitschy and touristy, but much cleaner and safer.
I’ve been in the city for a couple days and then I was “outside” of the city and really enjoyed that part. Not a big fan or the city. I’m way more laid back than NY. Weather was blistering,so this will be a nice change
