Calling it now, not in. Finishing school this week, back to work next week, and looking forward to just relaxing this weekend. I am looking forward to watching it play out though.☺

It does make sense. Â Both cities have so much cuisine to offer that there is really very little that stands out. Â I actually took an informal poll in my office(all native NYers) and the top three were in no particular order:
Â
1. Dirty water Dog
2. Pretzel from a cartÂ
3. Pastrami from one of the Jewish Delicatessens
Â

I think it is more about the "restaurant" than an individual food in NYC. Â
NY food is like American food. No one can define it because it's a melting pot, but it's the best in the world. Ask someone what American food is and they blank out. But take it city by city and you start to understand. That's why this will be awesome.

I am pretty sure NYC is THEE single most melting pot city for food. Nowhere else has the vast selection that NYC does. Other cities have a huge array of food categories but I don't think anywhere on earth rivals NYC.
No, you just have to know where to go for real food. If you decide to just walk down the street and grab a dog, a slice, or halal, you will be up all night in your hotel room.

This is an interesting discussion, as when someone says "what's an American food" or What's indicative of NY food?Â
Â
Never having been to NY, I think of it as the corner shop that specializes in ... pastrami...pizza...proshki...saurkraut.... Â
each of those is heralding to their European roots for bringing in the flavors and cooking from their Homeland.Â

Â
Does America have a signature dish? Yes. It's...
Â
Â
...everything on the menu.Â
