EAT NYC

The Iconic Recipes that Feed the City

Photographs by Alan Benson
Learn to make New York’s most iconic dishes, from bagels and brisket to cherry pie and cheesecake.

New York City is a place of never-ending discovery and unapologetic authenticity, a bustling metropolis and a mosaic of character-filled communities. One of the best ways to experience any city is through its food, and this book shares some of NYC’s most iconic dishes enjoyed morning, noon, and night.

Start the day with an everything bagel, chocolate babka, B.E.C. (bacon, egg, and cheese), or huevos rancheros; grab a smash burger, matzo ball soup, or Reuben sandwich for lunch; and as the sun goes down, pour yourself a Manhattan and indulge in pasta alla vodka, General Tso’s chicken, or a New York cheesecake – and pizza by the slice deep into the night.

With 55 quintessential recipes from across the five boroughs, as well as stories from some of the city’s best-loved eateries, including Levain Bakery, Tompkins Square Bagels, and Joe’s Pizza, this book recreates the dishes treasured by locals and visitors alike. Wherever you are in the world, EAT NYC.
