Wanderings in Manhattan - Food for Food Lovers

Mexican food is pretty popular in the US. Probably because the country just bordered south of the US and there are many Mexican immigrants in the states. A wide range of sauces makes the ingredients stuffed in tortilla or masa very tasty. My favourite food in the US. The picture shows my dinner of chicken quesadilla with sour cream dip in a small mexican resturant. My friend claimed California has better Mexican food.


Pinkberry is famous for its Korean style ice-cream, ie yogurt with choices of toppings. Taste likes Yault (益力多), a bit sour but refreshing. A good partner of fresh fruits. The shop is hot in Manhattan now. Not to miss after having a traditional Korean cuisine in Little Korea.


Besides Little Korea, there's Little Italy in Mahatan. Actually, only a street in Chinatown. Italians like to have meals with family members, thus, the food portion is always huge. Stuffed mushrooms is the best of the night.


The restaurant hires a band. This nice and passionate guitar player brought lots of fun to our dinner. His partner is not worth to mention however.


This chicken kabba was bought from a flea market located @ 5th Avenue. An exotic choice. Pity that it's neither juicy nor tender.


Hot dot and ice-crean are the most common snacks throughout the US because they are cheap and quick. In a busy day, just grab one to recharge.


Despite of numerous choices of food, I don't consider New York as a food paradise because it is very expensive to dine out. Even a hot dog can cost over US$2. Anyway, tourists often don't mind to pay for experience.
