The NYC Food Bucket List (or Foods New Yorkers Eat Because We Have To or Because We Love To)

This is in response to an article I read recently listing 11 foods that should be on a New Yorker's food bucket list. Dollar pizza, dirty chicken and bodega sandwiches were not included on that list, but they are on mine.

These are foods many New Yorkers eat because it's 3 AM and/or we've been drinking, because it's what we can afford or because they're simply delicious.

Welcome to The Neighborhood, Burger Heights

On July 2, Burger Heights held a friend and family pre-grand opening event. Burgers and fries were served, fountain drinks flowed (they carry Boylan by the bottle!), wine was passed around (not on the regular menu), all capped off with ice cream and milkshakes (gelato shakes to be exact) for dessert.
