Best Pizza Slice on the Planet (according to some)L’industrie Pizzeria
Don’t be intimidated by the long line, it actually goes by pretty quick. We went from the end of the block to the front in less than an hour (yes for some this is still a long wait) The wait was sure worth it. We had a nice conversation with the people in front of us, discussing top pizza spots in the city, me, being the foodlover I am, it was so much fun just engaging with others. Made it to the door! Love the sign “Only Fake New Yorkers eat out of pizza boxes and litter!” Love how close you are to the experience. Everything is so simple, yet…

Everything Bagel @ Tompkins Square Bagels
Today was pay day so my wife and I decided to treat ourselves to bagels. We ordered from Tompkins Square Bagels on 2nd Avenue in the East Village. My go to is an everything bagel, not toasted with vegetable cream cheese and today was no different. Upon unwrapping, the medium sized bagel was very fresh with a good amount of everything seasoning. The bagel was not too dense but could have used a bit more cream cheese. Unfortunately, the everything seasoning was a bit too salty. The vegetable cream cheese had a nice veggie to cream cheese ratio and tasted great. While I’m not a fan of carrots in cream…

Original German Doner Kebab
I am very particular with what is considered good Doner Kebab, especially the fact that I spent my Junior year of High School in England, where there are Doner Kebab places on just about every block. This place really fit the bill of what a good Doner Kebab is supposed to be. I am very apprehensive of Mall food. My family and I happened to walk by this spot and were intrigued, I went in just to be curious to see if the food was Halal (which it is 100%). We went in and all of us tried something different and each of us were pleased with our food. I…

Halal Smokehouse
Kanoon is the first Halal smokehouse in New Jersey. I have now visited this place a hand full of times, and it has yet to disappoint. From the staff/service to the ambience to the food, I have had nothing but positive experiences. Located in Paterson New Jersey, it is close enough of a drive from just about anywhere in the tri-state. If you go on weekends, you can see a show as seen in the picture above. Meat is very well seasoned and literally fall off the bone. Plenty of side options and the mint drink is a must. With a variety of meats offered you can come many times…

Pineapple Jam & Oolong Tea Ganache Cronut
Today is my wife’s birthday so to kick it off I got her favorite pastry ….. the world famous Cronut from the Dominique Ansel Bakery. The flavor for July 2023 is Pineapple Jam & Oolong Tea. Chef Dominique Ansel invented the cronut in 2013, it’s a hybrid of a croissant and a donut. While the cronut is 10 years old it is still incredibly popular. I placed a pre-order but on a Monday in the summer there are plenty of Cronuts available. The presentation was typical cronut perfection. Layers of flaky, buttery dough dipped in sugar, topped with bright yellow icing and garnished with a small dusting of oolong tea.…
