Trending Eateries Near Tourist Destinations in New York City

When visiting New York City, some of the must-see sights include catching a Broadway show or the charging bull at Wall Street.

Fortunately, you don’t have to deal with endless queues at chain restaurants whenever you need to eat.

New York City is home to plenty of awesome food spots hidden in prime tourist destinations that will satisfy your appetite – here’s a fast guide to experiencing some of New York’s finest bites while sightseeing.

Otto’s Tacos Near Times Square

When visiting Times Square, walk a few blocks to arrive at Otto’s Tacos, which is particularly famous for its quick-service taqueria.

Apart from their tacos, the establishment’s simple menu brings you the standard sides of guac and chips, and beans and rice. However, make sure you sample the exceptional Masa Fries while making your order.

The Empire State Building is an iconic must-see NYC tourist destination, but a few blocks from it is a bustling café that offers a full-service coffee bar if you need a fast pick-me-up, sandwiches, and salads.

Start your NYC exploration day at the Blank Slate Coffee & Kitchen for breakfast, or have a beautifully satisfying Flank Steak Sandwich for lunch.

In addition, make sure you have time to stop for the trending S’mores Dip, which is a winner on Instagram and a sweet tooth cure.

Fuku+ Near Central Park

As you enter Central Park from the south side, make sure you make a stop by Fuku+, a sequel to David Chang’s famous fried chicken spot for a host of interesting food options.

The eatery is found just above the bar area of the Ma Peche restaurant (where you can get great meals if you have sit-down time).

Some of the items you should try to include the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Loaded Nachos, and Juicy Lucy, which is a rare rendition of a Midwestern cheese-filled burger.

The Momofuku Milk Bar Experience Near Central Park

After hitting Fuku+, visit the Momofuku Milk Bar that has become a must-visit tourist attraction.

Delight in Crack Pie and Cereal Milk or try a serving of the Crack Pie Soft. Grab a couple of on-the-go Birthday Cake Truffles if you have an upcoming birthday.

Adrienne’s Pizza Bar at Wall Street

As you take advantage of reduced prices, like the discount on hop-on/hop-off New York tours, to explore the Financial District, Wall Street, ensure you stop for delicious pizza at Adrienne’s.

This eatery is located on Stone Street and offers visitors a large outdoor dining location where you can enjoy the nice weather.

While office crowds usually pack it during their lunch hour, it is worth a visit to experience one of NYC’s best old-fashioned square pies.

Pies and Thighs in Chinatown

Chinatown has a huge spread of Chinese restaurants that you should visit, but if you are exploring the neighborhood and looking for a unique food experience, Pies ‘n’ Thighs is a worthy stop.

This is the home for the Chicken Biscuit thighs, which are topped off with honey butter and a hot source.

The pies include the fluffy Banana Cream Pie, as well as doughnuts that will keep you asking for more.

BESFREN Near The Empire State Building

If the S’mores Dip at Otto’s Tacos was not filling enough, make your way over to BESFREN, which is a dessert shop with a huge array of baked goods like cookies, croissants, and Chiffon donuts.

Delight your taste buds with a giant Triple Chocolate Cookie, which is a trending delicacy in this Korean bakery.

In addition, enjoy gelato from Il Laboratorio Del Gelato to go with the cookies.
