Guide of the Week

🥯 BREAKFAST: Utopia Bagels

Why: More of a local legend than a tourist destination, Utopia Bagel – named after its bustling Utopia Parkway location – has been the morning go-to for its Flushing/Whitestone residents for decades. Stick with the classics – toasted Everything bagel with Lox, or a good ol' sausage egg and cheese, ketchup optional.

Where: 19-09 Utopia Pkwy, Whitestone, NY 11357, United States⁠

🍜 LUNCH: Pho Viet Nam

Why: Nothing beats a big bowl of pho on a cold, rainy NYC evening. Lucky for Brooklynites, Pho Viet Nam brings exactly that to the table, with no-frills pho, vermicelli bun bo hue, grilled pork over rice and much more. Definitely order a Vietnamese ice coffee as well if you need a pick me up. "Everyone talks about Pho, but this place also has a Vietnamese Calamari like no other." — Recommended by Cory Ng of Potluck Club

Where: 1243 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11229, United States

🍕 DINNER: Roberta's

Why: Notoriously difficult to get into, Roberta's has opened several locations throughout New York City to serve more pizza to locals and tourists. Pizza lovers can enjoy an array of classics and delicious Neapolitan creations at the pizzeria that helped revitalize Bushwick. For those that can handle a bit of spice, the Bee Sting, featuring soppressata, basil, chili, and honey, is highly recommended.

Where: 261 Moore St, Brooklyn, NY 11206, United States

🍰 DESSERT: Sarge’s Delicatessen and Diner

Why: Despite having some standout pastrami, Sarge’s Delicatessen and Diner is known for its corned beef, matzo ball soup, and cheesecake. Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., this deli is an excellent choice for any time during the day. Also, for those looking for a challenge, as about "The Monster," be warned it is a real challenge.

Where: 548 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10016, United States

🍢 IN BETWEEN DRINKS: Grand St. Skewers

Why: More so a snack than a meal per se, the Grand Street Skewer Cart is your go-to late night solution for when you're out and buzzed. Don't limit yourself to just beef or chicken, the lamb – perfectly seasoned with cumin – is the real show stopper. Each skewer is priced individually, but most are around $1.50 USD, so grab a grip of 'em.

Where: 246 Grand St, New York, NY 10002, United States⁠
