for any of you upstate ny freaks, this is the best German butcher. fill your weekend away with elite meats, cheeses, snacks and funky European chocolates and bevs. Game changer fr.
The best breakfast in the world is in NYC hidden in the new remade Essex Market. Punk rock fearlessness poured into the cooking (and attitude) here. Feels like it should be as well known as Katz's or any of these other NYC places people always talk about. It's family owned and has been in New York since the 70's. amazing music too, always. they're Mets fans too. magical place. one of the only authentix of old NY left.
If you can get up to saugerties the last weekend of September every year you can get the freshest and most pungent locally grown garlic in NY. Plus garlic fries and pickled garlic and all kinds of yummy shit. Excellent day trip
