1. Bacon, egg & cheese
Forget artisanal bacon and farm-fresh eggs — the real-deal NYC breakfast is a greasy bodega bacon, egg & cheese. There is no hangover it can’t cure.
2. Porterhouse steak
Carefully selected and dry-aged in the basement of the legendary Williamsburg chophouse, the hefty steak for two arrives sizzling in a glorious mix of melted butter and its own juices. It’s enough to make any vegetarian cringe.
3. Braised pork shoulder
April Bloomfield’s first nose-to-tail gastropub is essential for serious carnivores. Renowned for its hefty cuts of tasty, local meat, this place is trading in the best of the best — like the beer-and-apple-braised pork shoulder with roasted mashed potatoes.
4. The Classic
4. The Classic
Di Fara Pizza
The long lines at this storied Midwood joint are as legendary as the man behind the wood-fired pies. Di Fara’s signature — a smoky slice topped with sausage, peppers, mushrooms, San Marzano tomatoes, and mozz — is worth waiting for on its own
5. Pork bun
Momofuku
These days, the city is littered with a wealth of pork buns — but the often imitated, never duplicated OG bun is surprisingly simple: steamed bao, roasted pork belly, cucumbers, and scallions. The proportions are perfect; it’s savory and sweet; and it puts food market copycats to shame.
