For a taste of classic New York and the dishes that shaped its dining scene, here's a place to start. Some originated long ago, while a few were created in the last few years. Some are expensive while others can be acquired for a few dollars.

So if you're planning a trip to visit the Big Apple, here's a few Rhian Ramos-approved spots to visit:

Levain Bakery
167 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY

Went to 2 branches of Lavain Bakery cause Ive been such a fan of Momofuku's Milk bar cookies and crack pie. The hype on Lavain is real! So worth the train rides =P #WheresWhian #DateYourself . P.S. asking strangers to take my photo has been awkward, but that's solo life and I dont have any real problems with being a weirdo 😅 . Bag and top, @dressingvintage.co #WheresWhian #WhianEats

The bakery opened in 1995 and was founded by Constance McDonald and Pamela Weekes. Their signature is a 6-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie.


French Cheese Board
41 Spring St., New York

My super cool tita Becky found out that I love cheese and within 2 days signed us up for a Cheeses of Normandy class with wine pairings 😍 let me at em!!! I sorta wish all dates were like this =P

The French Cheese Board is a cool contemporary spot featuring a selection of French cheeses like the Mimolette, Brie, Bleu Cheese, and so much more. It also houses quite a few cooking lessons and cheese pairing sessions.


Ichiran
132 West 31 Street, between 6th and 7th Ave

I went to Japan with my whole family a year ago, but I had to leave for one day to attend an awarding ceremony in Korea. That day, they all had ramen at Ichiran and I felt so left out. NYETA KA ICHIRAN. dito lang pala kita mahahanap! Pero salamat na rin, at nagpakita ka =) asian finds in NYC warms my heart. . @dsenadorphotography #WheresWhian #WhianEats #NewYork #NYC #NYCFood

Japanese Ramen chain Ichiran is famous for two things - Tonkatsu and customizable Ramen. Inside, you will be welcomed with Japanese interiors and will be seated in solo dining booths similar to the way they do it in Japan.


Prince Street Pizza
27 Prince St. A, New York

Best slice in the city (so far) (still game to try 20 more vodka slices) . #nycfood #pizza

This list wouldn't be complete without a good ol' New York pizza. This pizza chain is famous for its Roman-style square pizzas and the Original Prince Neapolitan Slice that are made with homemade ingredients. Some would say it's a bit overpriced, but as they say, 'you get what you pay for.'


The Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare
431 West 37th Street

Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare. Some of the best dishes I've ever tasted in my life! 3 stars from Michelin, and a thousand from me. I cant count the number of times I said "Oh my God" after taking a bite. 😭 I die. Im dying. Dead.

The first New York City restaurant outside Manhattan to receive 3 Michelin Stars, The Chef's Table is a must visit if you have the money to splurge. They say that it can take up to six weeks to get a reservation, but the food makes up for the long wait. The food is inspired by Japanese dishes and there are 24 courses including canapes, cheeses, soups, and desserts.
