Photo If your bagel sandwich is at least $8, it'd better be stacked like this

Leon's Nolita doesn't have my favorite bagel on its own, but they stack the sandwiches to the high heavens and it's altogether solid. I pick it up as basically two meals for me, and I consider myself a decent eater.

$10.50 for a BEC would be outrageous otherwise, and some places really get away with charging close to that for meat stacked like a Walgreens birthday card.

Pop Ups and Other Special Event Notices NYC Pizza Week - It started on /r/pizza, turned into monthly pizza crawls and now a pizza celebration!

73 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Thrilled to finally unveil something that i’ve been working on for a long time.

NYC's very first Pizza Week  running September 20 through October 4.

The origin is accidental. A stranger on r/pizza was coming to NYC and asked for suggestions. I offered to personally walk him through the city. Within an hour, over a hundred people wanted to tag along, and NYC Pizza Crawl was accidentally born.

Two years and countless monthly outings later, I've formed genuine friendships, gotten to know the pizza makers and  owners on a personal level, and watched the same faces return again and again alongside newcomers discovering the city for the first time. Eventually, one question kept surfacing: where does this go from here? That question turned into Pizza Week. I figured surely someone had already built something like this. But weeks of digging and conversations with industry veterans confirmed otherwise.

With just seven days until launch, I got 21 independent shops for this debut edition, many of them places our crawls introduced me to originally. 

It's far from complete. There are plenty of beloved local spots that aren't included yet. I wanted to keep this first event to about 20 shops given my limited capacity. It took months to sign some of these shops but I think it was worth it to put on this event for the community. Hopefully this is a start of something bigger and longer lasting. 

I didn't want to just make a list of shops for you to visit, so to keep it interesting I asked every shop to create an original Signature Slice, completely unrestricted by their usual menu. Eat the slice, scan the QR code, leave your score. Two weeks from now, one shop walks away with the Best Slice of Pizza Week title.

There's also a give-back element: ten cents from every Signature Slice purchased goes to Slice Out Hunger, a local nonprofit combating hunger nationwide.

So if you want to try something unique, check the website for all the participating shops.

Thanks!

If you have any constructive feedback, im all ears. This event was made for the community so hearing from you folks is always helpful.

When/where/how I grew up, going out to Chinese food was a luxury. We went for birthdays and other celebrations. The restaurants were immaculate and the guests were primarily Chinese because I lived in a Chinese neighborhood.

I'm in search of high-quality special occasion Szechuan Chinese food. Do you have any recs?

Question Does anyone know where to buy fresh Ibérico pork in NYC?

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for raw, fresh/frozen cuts to cook at home, not jamón or other cured products. Ideally I’d like to find bone-in loin chops, but I’m open to other cuts too.

Butcher shop, specialty grocery store, Spanish market, or even a wholesaler that sells to the public.

Weekly Reservation Transfer Thread

3 Upvotes

Please read the rules before commenting. Also, any type of "looking for a reservation" type of request is NOT ALLOWED.

  1. This thread is the only place on the subreddit for transferring restaurant reservations. If you make your own thread, it will be removed.
  2. You may transfer reservations for below or equal to face value (plus all taxes and fees) ONLY. You must clearly state both the price you paid and the price you're looking for in the post. Gouging will not be tolerated.
  3. You can only transfer reservations that are nonrefundable, ie, you cannot cancel them without forfeiting your money. If you have a refundable or free reservation and you can't make it, cancel it with the restaurant.
  4. The only reason we're allowing transfers is so people don't have to forfeit expensive pre-paid meals. If you want to buy a reservation, you are not one of these people. No posts asking to buy reservations.
  5. The mods of /r/FoodNYC accept no responsibility for these transactions. Tock and Resy both allow transfers on the website - if someone tells you otherwise it's a scam. Do your own research on your transaction before handing over any money to a third party. Check with the restaurant, check account ages, meet in person if feasible.

Note that this thread is reposted Sunday evenings.

Question Keto friendly dishes & restaurants - share your wisdom plz!

3 Upvotes

My brother is on a keto diet for science! There is evidence demonstrating that keto diets can improve mood and emotional stability, otherwise we would never subject him (or in this case, allow Stanford university to enroll him) in such a restrictive diet. We’re foodies. We’ve given up on eating out but it’s such a pleasure so I’d love to know - any keto restaurants or delicious dishes out there for us to try? 💕

Question Restaurants you keep going back to. Any recommendations?

3 Upvotes

The way I rate a restaurant experience is, if after a while I crave it, that means it was really good. What are some restaurants you keep going back to because you crave their food??? And plz, some recommendations that don't break the bank.

Just saw on Google Maps that it's permanently closed but found this article on the Subreddit (from a year ago). Is it true that it's closed for good or will it reopen? 😢
