A Guide To New York City's Most Interesting Food Finds
It’s no surprise that there’s an endless selection of great food in New York City. There’s food from every corner of the globe, some of best restaurants in the world, and iconic street food like pizza and hot dogs. If you’ve already tried the classics and are looking for something new, consider one of these unique dishes next time you’re in town.

2. Cereal
Bar, Cafe, Pub Grub

3. Pastrami Pizza
Pizzeria, Deli, Italian
4. Impossible Burger
Restaurant, Italian
5. Hands-On Filipino Feast
Restaurant, Gastropub, Asian, Filipino
Speaking of meat-centric restaurants, Jeepney – a Filipino gastropub in the East Village – is about as meaty as it gets. Many of their dishes may seem strange if you’re not accustomed to Filipino cuisine, but their wildest event comes twice a week when they host ‘Kamayan Night,’ a no-utensils, hands-only, family-style feast laid out on a long communal table. It’s a messy and meaty experience but also a delicious and memorable one.
6. Broccoli Hot Dog
Restaurant, Candy Store, Vegetarian
Raindrop Cake
Another dish from Smorgasburg that’s taken over Instagram – this otherworldly looking Raindrop Cake dessert was inspired by Japanese mochi and is described as a ‘refreshing and delicate raindrop made for your mouth.’ It’s impossible to know what this means until you try one, so get one for yourself and see what all the fuss is about.
Address: 90 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211, USA
7. The Cow Experience
Restaurant, Japanese
