Grab a Bite to Eat at One of These Local Spots

Now that summer is in full swing, people are excited to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather. There is nothing better than hanging out at your favorite spots, exploring new places, and getting to do all of this with friends and family.

If you live in New York, there are so many things to do that are a walk, a bike ride, or a subway trip away. If you're like us, deciding on where you'll go to grab a bite to eat as you explore is just an inevitable part of the itinerary. One of the best things about NYC's food scene is that you quite literally have thousands of options to choose from. Ironically, this is also one of the worst things about NYC's food scene because choosing between all the options available to you can be overwhelming.

Our team put together a list of some of our favorite local spots so you can add them to your list of places to visit. The next time you want to grab a bite to eat, consider checking out these four spots!

Union Square Cafe

Union Square Cafe has been a local favorite for over 30 years. They were founded with the mission of creating a warm and hospitable environment where their customers could enjoy the best local ingredients. Some of the chefs that have worked here have gone on to become notable chefs in the industry, and the restaurant itself has won five James Beard Awards. 

Their lunch menu features incredible dishes like fettuccine al limone, octopus and bean salad, and their 19th street burger, while their dinner menu includes a dry aged ribeye for two, duck liver mousse, and an everything spiced arctic char. 

Num Pang Kitchen

Craving a Southeast Asia dish? Num Pang Kitchen should be your move. It's been named the #1 Fast Casual in New York by Zagat and NYC's Quietest Restaurant Empire by New York Magazine. Both incredible honors!

When you go to Num Pang Kitchen, try their grain and rice bowls, their salads, like their coconut tiger shrimp salad, and their sandwiches, like their five-spice glazed pork belly. No matter what option you go with, you will not be disappointed.
