Stops

Porto Rico Importing Co. has the distinction of being the only coffee place on both my Greenwich Village and Lower East Side tours.

Pommes Frites is notorious for having the best frites / fries in New York City but their sauces are out of this world.

Pommes Frites NYC is known for having the best frites but they also have the best dipping sauces. EVER. They’ve added a few since this pic was taken. Photo/Moving Forward Consulting

Food Network is a fan and you will be, too.

Thanks Cyndi Stone Holland for sending this pic of me at @pommesfritesnyc after a tour. She said it captured me and the tour perfectly. I appreciate it!

A lovely day outside for a slice of Artichoke Pizza. Then again, everyday is a lovely day for a slice of this creamy goodness.

Cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese at Kossar’s = where lunch or breakfast could also be dessert. Taste greatness.

Crowded house at Yonah Schimmel. If you’ve had a knish here, you know why.

Saad of Essex Olive Oil & Spice in the all new and beautiful Essex Market. If you haven’t seen the new digs yet, you’re missing out.

Oh the joys of the Nonna Maria slice at Bleecker Street Pizza. It’s good down to the very last bite.

Have you ever had the best Chinese dumplings in New York City? Come on my Lower East Side tour and I’ll hand deliver them to you courtesy of Vanessa’s Dumpling House.

The best part of waking up? It’s not Folgers people – Porto Rico Importing Company

Outside of Yonah Shimmel’s Knish Bakery giving out some waters. You definitely need to hydrate on this tour especially during the summertime ☀️

Pork dumplings. You can get them just about anywhere but I promise you they won’t taste as good as they do at Vanessa’s Dumpling House.

Showing a selfie to a happy couple who went on both of my tours. Here they are before eating a “to die for” cupcake at Molly’s Cupcakes.

Getting a glimpse (in the sunlight) of Soppressata from Faicco’s. Not really but it made for a funny pic. No?

Dig into a slice of heaven. It’s such an overused expression but at Bleecker Street Pizza it’s pretty on target.

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do… Doughnut Plant​. Come by our Lower East Side Tour and sample a bunch of goodness.

Take a pizza my heart. Get it? Sigh. Anyway, this Nonna Maria slice at Bleecker Street Pizza is out of this world. Just look at the awe in this pic. This slice lives up to the hype.  📷: Cortney Armitage for Moving Forward Consulting- NY

Passing around some arancini (rice balls) at Faicco’s​. These are so good it’ll almost make you forget about the cold. Almost.  📷: Cortney Armitage for Moving Forward Consulting.

Some new fans of Molly’s Cupcakes. It’s easy to see why this place won Cupcake Wars. These cupcakes are amazing.

Don’t get yourself in a pickle this week…unless you go on our Lower East Tour! Har har. Have a great week everyone. Pickle Guys

Why hello. Doughnut Plant anyone? Join us on our Lower East Side Tour and sample a whole lotta love.

Hey, who took my piece? The Nonna Maria slice at Bleecker Street Pizza is epic, and I use that term in a cool way. Everyone says “epic” now, but seriously this slice lives up to that word.

The knishes are legendary at Yonah Schimmel’s Knish Bakery.  One bite and it’ll ruin you for all other knishes.  For real.

It’s been brutally cold in New York lately. But, somehow when you eat these dumplings you forget the temperature feels below zero – thanks Vanessa’s Dumpling House!

Gotta love Economy Candy. I could stay in here for hours. They have candy here you had as a kid and more!

Leftovers are long over by now. Time to dig back into some of the finest eats in all of New York City like Artichoke Pizza!

The best pastrami you’ll ever eat. It’s not even a contest –  only at Katz’s Delicatessen!  Just one stop on my Lower East Side Tour.

If you’re in New York craving a knish there’s only one spot to try:  Yonah Shimmel’s Knish . This institution on the Lower East Side serves up the very best and I take you right there. It’s the first stop on my LES tour.

My other favorite pie – Artichoke Basille’s! This unique slice is also the best – rich, creamy with a crispy double crust. It’s simply delicious.    

Everybody line up! Everything bagels are the bomb diggity (as the kids say – do they?) at Hudson Bagel in NYC! It’s just one of our stops on our Greenwich Village Tour!

Chillin’ at the best fries stop ever – Pommes Frites NYC!
