TODAY’S FUN FACTS:
Manhattan is notorious for its fabulous food and today we will be sharing with you some of Ali McNamara’s top NYC restaurant tips.
- Best Pizza: John’s Pizzeria, 260 West 44th Street. Great pizza in elegant surroundings.
- Best Burgers: Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. Get there early though, or the queues will be long . . . but it’s worth it for their milkshakes alone. I had the Fair Shake – delicious!!
- Best Coffee: There’s a Starbucks on virtually every street, but go where the locals go: Stumptown on 29th & Broadway. Hang out with the cool dudes on their laptops, or just sit and chill out with native New Yorkers!
- Best Breakfast: They actually claim to be the ‘The Busiest & Best Breakfast in New York’ and their pancakes definitely live up to that mighty statement. It’s the Pershing Square Cafe just opposite Grand Central Terminal.
- And if you love the movie Serendipity, or even if you don’t, you must go to Serendipity3 on 60th Street (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues) for their frozen hot chocolate! Heaven through a straw!
