What the creator captured
JL Jupiter was pleasantly surprised by the fried flounder from a Brooklyn Chinese takeout spot, noting its impressive crunch and flakiness. Although his original plan to try bacon, egg, and cheese ramen was thwarted by a reservation requirement, he found the local seafood and Dominican chimi to be highly satisfying alternatives. He emphasized the importance of eating the fried fish immediately to maintain its crispy texture.

Planning notes for New York
New York City, situated at the mouth of the Hudson River, was established as a Dutch trading post named New Amsterdam in 1625. In 1664, English forces took control of the settlement and renamed it New York. The city served as the first capital of the United States under the Constitution from 1785 to 1790, and it was the site of George Washington’s first presidential inauguration at Federal Hall. Historically, the city’s growth was accelerated by the 1825 completion of the Erie Canal.
Must-try foods nearby
- Pastrami on Rye
The quintessential NYC deli sandwich, best experienced at Katz's Delicatessen. It features hand-carved, thick-cut. - The New York Slice
A wide, thin-crust pizza slice that is foldable yet crispy. While Joe's Pizza remains the gold standard for a classic plain slice, L'Industrie Pizzeria is the current trendsetter. - Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese
An iconic Jewish 'appetizing' staple. Traditionally served on a hand-rolled. - Halal Chicken and Rice Platter
The ultimate NYC street food, popularized by The Halal Guys. It consists of yellow saffron rice topped with gyro meat or grilled chicken, iceberg lettuce, and pita. - New York Cheesecake
Unlike its fluffier counterparts, the NYC version is famously dense, smooth, and extra creamy due to a heavy reliance on cream cheese and egg yolks.
When to go: The best times to visit New York are during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to early November) when temperatures are mild and the city’s parks are most vibrant. While winter offers festive holiday atmosphere, it can be bitterly cold.
Local tips
- Always stand to the right on sidewalks and escalators to allow fast-moving locals to pass on the left.
- Pay for subway and bus fares by tapping any contactless credit card or mobile wallet at the OMNY turnstiles.
- Tip between 18% and 22% at sit-down restaurants, as service staff rely on gratuities for their primary income.
- Avoid entering empty subway cars on an otherwise crowded train, as they are usually empty due to a lack of air conditioning or unpleasant odors.
