NYC

Over the weekend we went to NYC for vacation, since my family and I were there, we decided to try some great restaurants such as…

Barney Greengrass - The Sturgeon King
At Barney Greengrass, we had their piping hot latkes! Anyone who goes there must try them! I also had a bagel with cream cheese, whitefish salad, and lox. Is there anything better? My mom got a tuna sandwich on rye bread which was the best tuna ever, and my dad got the scrambled eggs with a side of sturgeon, their specialty. If you ever get to Barney Greengrass, try anything on their menu, even their pickles because everything is fabulous there.

Totto Ramen -
My neighbor owns a bunch of Japanese restaurants, in NYC, that are in the top 100 restaurants in New York! That is a big deal! My family and I decided to go to Totto Ramen, one of his best restaurants in NYC.  We started off with onigiri which is a rice triangle wrapped with sea weed, and in this case stuffed with pork! Sorry it wasn't kosher. We also had spicy tuna tataki. It was the first raw fish I have ever had, and it was mind blowing, I literally couldn't put it down. For the main course my mom and I got the ramen noodles with chicken and scallions, while my dad was more brave and got the spicy ramen with pork. Both noodle dishes were just mind blowing! It felt like we were in Japan! Overall, the waiters were very accommodating, the food was great, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was definitely a modern Japanese ramen restaurant in New York.

Kossars Bialy Bakery -
Open since 1936, Kossars is not known to disappoint people who love bialys. As we walked in, the aroma of freshly baked goods came into my nose, and made me feel warm. The atmosphere had two guys baking bread, and emptying out big boxes, which the bread was baked in. There was flour flying every which way. My dad said that my mom and I should get a pletzel. A pletzel, is like a smooched bialy, but is tastes way better than it sounds. Go there and get bagels, bialys, and pletzels!

Dylans Candy Bar - 

A kids dream, three floors filled top to bottom with candy, candy, and more candy! Completed with a candy bar, which you can serve yourself at, to every imaginable candy in the USA, Dylans is loved by everybody in NYC. Fitted with music to the theme of candy, to personalized mints, chocolate bars, and many many more, anybody should go to Dylans to get a sweet treat. I know I did…

Overall NYC was a great experience filled with great food, and fun!
