Manhattan is one of my all time\u00a0favourite cities in the world. There is no shortage of\u00a0museums and galleries to\u00a0wander around. So much to see.. and eat. Even if you have been 15 times you\u00a0won’t be bored. <\/span>There’s an abundance of places to eat in this beautiful city. From\u00a0hipster coffee hangouts, pizza joints, markets and bars: you will be spoilt for choice. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of my favourite places to eat in NYC, I think even Carrie Bradshaw would approve of a couple of these places.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Breakfast at Bluestone Lane <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am a big fan of Bluestone Lane<\/strong>. They have great coffees, matcha lattes and their food is to die for (very Insta worthy too) We loved their Green Baked Eggs and the classic option of smashed Avo with a poached egg. They also have a really great lunch menu and a tempting selection of baked goods – the I bought Cronut was unbelievable. Trust me on this one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple locations in NYC and LA also.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Breakfast at Theatre Row Diner <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I love that in the USA you get potatoes with breakfast – I haven’t ever come across this in the UK, unless you’re counting the humble hash brown or a rosti. \u00a0No these were altogether different : Chunky, soft yet crispy, the perfect blend of spice.\u00a0Theatre Row Diner<\/strong>\u00a0holds a special place in my heart for introducing me to potatoes with breakie so this little joint makes the list. They have a great breakfast menu where you get coffee, juice, toast, eggs, bacon & the hold grail of potatoes for about $10. BREAKFAST POTATOES WE SALUTE\u00a0YOU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

French Toast at Pershing Square <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pershing Square is conveniently right across the road from Grand Central Station so it made the perfect place to get brunch before exploring Midtown. The french toast was excellent – another first i have never had bacon with maple syrup (dribble\u00a0dribble) Rupert went for the New Yorker Set Menu breakfast – which is a really great way to save some pennies. Great location, the food is fab and the staff were lovely too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Buttermilk Pancakes at Ellen’s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If a quiet place to eat is your thing then Ellen’s Stardust Diner<\/strong> isn’t for you. Here you can enjoy your breakfast whilst the waiters and waitress’\u00a0sing you songs from the musicals. The diner is a 50’s theme so think big stacks of pancakes and milkshakes in red leather booths. The staffs are the future stars of broadway so they can really sing too. The atmosphere is really fun so if you have kids it’s perfect (In all honesty I love musicals so it was perfect for this adult too) <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0One thing i will say is only go for breakfast because the burgers etc. are pretty basic and not worth the money – the pancakes however are excellent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you even visit Manhattan if you didn’t go to Chelsea Market? Of course you did but this should be on everyone’s NYC bucket list in my opinion. The furthest thing from a horrible smelly food court – this indoor market has everything your hungry tummy would desire. We go every time we go to NYC and it never gets old. I recommend walking through the market, checking out each food spot and plan what you’re going to eat where. You need a battle plan for this place to get the most out of every spot!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My Favourites at the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Very Fresh Noodles<\/strong> – The vegan mock duck wet noodles & the cumin lamb is the bomb. We go here every time we go to NYC, no exceptions. Just don’t were a white top. Trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Los Tacos No1<\/strong> – The Nopal tacos (grilled cactus) are so tasty!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Doughnuttery<\/strong> – Fresh Doughnuts with some crazy toppings. The cinnamon sugar ones were just… just get them okay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarabeth’s bakery<\/strong> – CHOCOLATE BROWNIES\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lobster Place Seafood Market<\/strong> – In here they have everything. Sushi, Chowder, Fresh oysters, Lobster rolls, fresh seafood. \u00a0The oysters are particularly good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now it isn’t just food here – they have all sorts of shops including a flea market where i got my brother some pretty cool cufflinks made using old typewriter letters. They have a kitchen appliance shop and even a lady who does knife sharpening.<\/span><\/p>\n
