Russ & Daughters
(Chain establishment known for their amazing Bagels)

*Remember to pick your queue number.*

This store was founded in 1914 and it has remained a family owned and operated over four generations, a rarity now a days. 

*That's the crazy line on a Sunday to get into Katz's*

Located a stone throw away from the Famous Katz's Delicatessen which had a crazy queue!

Ordered on:
14Dec25
Classic Bagel & Lox Sandwich
Food 3.5/5
*If you focus on the caviar cream cheese you can definitely taste it.
Works fantastic as a whole.*

Value 3.5/5
Fed 2 USD20.14 After Taxes

Loving the selection here and what called to us was really the Caviar Cream Cheese! Lightly warmed and the delicious caviar cream cheese. One of the more favorable Bagels had to date!

Take a queue number and wait for your number to be called. It's not a terribly long wait before heading home.

El Churro

Freshly made churros with a mirid of interesting dipping sauces. Fresh churros that are fresh, hot delicious and don't cost a bomb in comparison to those sold in certain theme park attractions. 

Ordered On:
14Dec25
x3 Churros for USD8 and dipping sauces at USD4 each.
Three Churros with classic Dule De Leche
USD13 Fed 2

*Freshly fried, great ratio of dipping sauces to churros and they've got a sitting area! Highly recommended and would check this place out if in the area. Located right beside Russ & Daughters.

Another famous churros chain for so far the best Hot chocolate is San Churro's found in most of Australia. Highly recommended to try their Hot cold hot chocolate and off course eveeryone has their churros as well.

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
Chain-establishment
(Known for... as per their name sake their Chicken Fingers)

Ordered On:
14Dec25
The 3 Finger Combo
USD13.39+Taxes

*The tenders are the best had. They're juicy, nice crisp and go well with their secret sauce. It's kind of like In-N-Out burger's sauce but with a nicer peppery kick to it. Click here for OG posting on In-n-out Burgers and off course their not so secret, secret menu and animal sauce.*

Value 4/5

Best chicken tenders had. Quick, simple and filling with a unique vibe to the place.

Central Perk
(Newly opened in Times Square)

One word. "Hype." Coffee is alright and fairly okay in price. There's a queue to get in, a queue for the gift store which honestly the stuff weren't stellar. There's a queue for the gram shot of "The One With..." The vibes didn't really scream Central Perk. Only worth taking a peek but not really for a long wait to get in.

USD7 for seasonal mocha, peppermint special.

Meh. Can go in if there's no queue. Am sure there's many many more coffee places to hit other than this one, unless you're a fan.

El Rancho Burritos

A real working man's place. Great, authentic, value Mexican food.

Fed 2 very well at USD28 with tips.

Looking for authentic Mexican, this place is worth checking out without long lines of queues on a Monday evening at about 2030hrs.
