New York is freezing. Some may ask why I come to the east coast for spring break. “Normal people would go to Cancun!” The four-letter reason? Food.

New York offers a diverse array of traditional and trendy food that is arguably unmatched anywhere else. On this trip, we decided to focus on the traditional. On many other visits we didn’t really have a gastronomical plan. But this time we were prepared.

First off, we wanted to try some tradition Jewish deli’s. Two of the more well known delis are Katz’s Deli and Carnegie Deli. All of these restaurants deserve a separate review (and pictures), so I will divulge more details in another post.

Next, we wanted some true thin crust pizza. Lombardi’s is a good choice, and is the first registered pizzeria in the US.

Those were the two main elements we wanted to explore. On top of this, we also took a rollicking ride through Japanese, Asian Fusion, and Dim Sum. All in all, the trip has been well worth it, even through the freezing rain. And, it’s only half over.
