Tasting Tour: Eating on the Go in NYC

Can't agree more about the subway directions part. Got into an argument recently with other subway riders when I was directing tourists on the best way to get to Times Square.

As for street food, I'd recommend the Biryani Cart for kati rolls and chicken biryani.

Sardines for Breakfast Anyone?

I laughed when I read this, because I brought a sardine-avocado sandwich to lunch this week. (Guilty as charged!) I don't think the smell was too horrible when I was eating it, but the burps all afternoon were probably not pleasant.

Girl Slice Dreams a Dream About Motorino's Brussels Sprout and Pancetta Pizza

My BF did the same! Took me to really nice restaurants when we were dating (for lunch even!), and it turns out he doesn't like to eat, only likes chips, ice cream, and candy. Worse, he doesn't eat pork. So sneaky.

In-Flight Drinks: Spicy Tomato Juice

I always get tomato juice on airplanes. It's the only place you can get a tomato juice outside of a bar. I love tomato juice. I wish they had it at more places on land.

@where y'at - Chef Michael Anthony's online recipe calls for the squid to be sautéed, however, I just got confirmation that at Gramercy they do grill the squid. I am told sautéing is an alternate option.

About Tia Kim

Website: http://www.bionicbites.com/

Location: LES | NYC

About: I'm a maniacally food-obsessed New Yorker who lives to explore, experiment, and eat.

Favorite foods: Pizza, xiao long bao, ramyun (ramen), sea urchin, steamers, samgyupsal (pork belly), cheese (the runnier the better), and gopchang (cow intestines).

Last bite on earth: Can't bear to think about it.
