MUST TRY NYC RESTAURANTS

This Summer you’re going to try some of my FAVORITE NYC restaurants!

Xi’an Famous Foods $$

⭐️Overall rating: 5/5

Xi'an Famous Foods 西安名吃 45 Bayard St, NY 10013

With over 12 locations in NYC, this restaurant is heavily known for their delicious hand pulled noodles. They even have vegan options, which is actually my FAVORITE even though I am not vegan. I always order their “Liang Pi Cold Skin Noodles” and “Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger”. The burger dipped in the sauce of the noodles is literally chef’s kiss. What makes them so popular is their famous chili oil, which spice level can be adjusted based on your preferences. However, as the CEO of Xi’an Famous Foods say, all dishes taste good with a little bit of spice!

Max Brenner $$

⭐️Overall rating: 4/5

Max Brenner Chocolate Bar 841 Broadway, NY 10003

If you’ve been in NY long enough, you must have heard the delicious chocolate Max Brenner is known for. Of course, you must try the food too. From the lobster mac n cheese to the flatbread pizza, they were all delicious. The BEST part, of course, are the desserts. You can roast your own marshmallows, indulge in some delicious chocolate waffles, share a fondue, or do what I did and order the “MAX FAMOUS CHOCOLATE MESS PARTY FOR TWO” which indeed, was a delicious chocolatey mess.

Wan Wan $$$

⭐️Overall rating: 4/5

Wan Wan 209 Mulberry St, NY 10012

This newly opened Thai restaurant sitting in the heart of Noho, offers amazing Phuket-style Thai food. Although I found their dishes to be quite on the expensive side, I could not think of any negative qualities about their food. I ordered their “Pad Kee Mao” which is a rice noodle dish and it was delicious! My friends ordered the short rib curry and it was AMAZING. Super tender and juicy, we cannot wait to go back!
