What to order in New York, United States, with a fun fact for each
New York-style pizza is famous for its huge, thin, foldable slices, whose charred, flavorful crust comes from high-gluten dough and very hot ovens, and many New Yorkers eat it folded on the street.
Bagels with lox pair a chewy, boiled-and-baked bagel and a schmear of cream cheese with silky, cold-smoked salmon, a combination brought by Eastern European Jewish immigrants that became a New York brunch ritual.
Pastrami on rye is the quintessential New York deli sandwich, featuring peppery, smoky pastrami piled high on rye with mustard, and its roots trace back to Jewish immigrants who adapted preserved beef techniques.
New York cheesecake owes its creamy, dense texture to a high proportion of cream cheese and a minimal use of flour, and many bakers still bake it slowly or in a water bath to achieve a silky slice.
The black and white cookie is more like a small cake than a cookie, and its half-chocolate, half-vanilla icing has been celebrated as a tasty symbol of New York's cultural mix.
The egg cream contains no egg and no cream, it is simply milk, soda water and chocolate syrup, and it became a signature drink of New York soda fountains in the early 20th century.
The Manhattan likely originated in New York in the late 1800s at the Manhattan Club, and its simple mix of whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters helped codify the stirred cocktail as an enduring classic.
