There’s so much more to NYC food than pizza and cheesecake (although PTL for those, amirite?). Before we left for the trip, I made a huge list of restaurants I wanted to visit. So many restaurants, so little time. Here’s some of our favorite foodie moments from our time in the city.

I grew up visiting Blowing Rock, N.C. One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting in the park gazebo and eating chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone from Kilwin’s. Blowing Rock is a special place to me (& not just because of the ice cream).

My favorite thing to do on a trip is visit all the coffee shops in the area. I had high expectations for NYC. When we decided to take the trip, I started doing my research. I compiled a huge list of coffee shops I wanted to go to. We didn’t make it to all of them, but here are some of my favorites from our time in the city.
