12 Best Places To Eat In New York City
travel-slice.com

One of the most popular tourist destinations in the world is New York City. There are so many amazing adventures that one could take when in the city. From the Brooklyn Bridge to Times Square, there are copious amounts of ground to cover. With miles of walking, one builds up an appetite fast. Here are just a few of the best places to go grab some good food. Oh, and yes I am totally aware that most of these are focused on desserts. No shame.

1. Baked by Melissa

These mini cupcakes and macarons will send your taste buds on a trip to heaven and have you going to the ATM to get more money in order to buy more. With a mini-of-the-month, three seasonal cupcakes, classics and gluten-free options, it's no wonder why this place is doing well. Plus, you can get them shipped to your house or delivered if you live in Manhattan.


2. Shake Shack

Does this even need an explanation?


3. Dylan's Candy Bar

Dylan's Candy Bar could arguably be the real-life version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory for it has masterfully intertwined chocolate, candy and intricate and fun designs into an incredible emporium. Fun fact: The owner, Dylan Lauren, is the daughter of fashion designer Ralph Lauren.


4. Max Brenner

This chocolate restaurant has everything from fondue to waffles to milkshakes and everything in between. This restaurant will leave you with a sugar high and a satisfied palate.


5. Essex Taqueria

Move over, Chipotle. Specializing in Mexican cuisine, this restaurant is a must for the perfect tacos, burritos and quesadillas.


6. The Chocolate Room

The name pretty much speaks for itself. This dessert palace is loved by many, including Oprah. The brownies are absolutely to die for.


7. Chick-fil-A

This is for any Northeasterners who have yet to experience the deliciousness of Chick-fil-A. The chicken tastes so fresh and natural and the waffle fries are the perfect side dish. You'll be forgetting McDonald's and Burger King ever existed once you taste this.


8. Black Tap

Come for the burgers and wings, but you'll stay for the shakes. You have probably seen some of their ridiculous milkshake creations on social media. Click here to see just a glimpse of their amazing milkshakes.


9. J.G. Melon

A semi-less-famous hot spot in the city, this cash only pub is known for its burgers. One bite and you'll be a goner.


10. The Plaza Food Hall

Rooted inside the famous Plaza Hotel, you know the expensive one where everyone wants to have their weddings, is a food hall home to twenty gourmet eateries. Macarons, crepes, subs, lobsters, caviar, this place has it all.


11. Katz's Delicatessen

This deli has what many consider to be the city's best sandwiches and hot dogs. It appears in many TV shows and movies, such as "When Harry Met Sally." Trust me when I say that this deli will not disappoint.


12. Grimaldi's

Best.pizza.ever. Enough said.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
