The New Potato

Recently, Instagram has been flooded with pictures of trendy foods and restaurants that everyone wants to try. Most of these places, however, now have long lines due to the high demand. Before making the trip to NYC and waiting in a potential line, most people want to know if the food is actually worth it (or if it would just make for a cool Instagram post). Here is a list of 10 Instagram famous NYC foods actually worth trying.

1. Doughnut Plant's Doughnuts

Featuring several locations throughout NYC including Chelsea and Brooklyn, Doughnut Plant features a wide variety of delicious doughnuts all beautifully decorated. They also feature a wide variety of seasonal doughnuts including candy corn, apple cinnamon and pumpkin. They are even introducing vegan donuts to their collection. This is definitely a must-try!

2. 10 Below's Ice Cream


Conveniently located in numerous places including Chinatown and the Lower East Side, 10 Below features a unique ice cream experience where "rolls" of ice cream are created right in front of you on a cold plate. They offer many different flavors and allow you to pick what topics you want included/mixed in with your ice cream. All ice cream lovers should definitely try this creamy treat!

3. The Sugar Factory's Goblets

One of my personal favorites, the original NYC Sugar Factory is located in the Meatpacking District but there are also new locations in Times Square and the Upper West Side. Although they are most famous for their goblets, the Sugar Factory also features an extensive menu that features delicious food ranging from mac and cheese pops to delicious crepes. The goblets come in a variety of sweet flavors, are offered alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and are decorated with themed candies.

4. The Bagel Store's Rainbow Bagels

Located in Brooklyn, The Bagel Store creates bagels that are so beautiful you almost feel bad eating them. Typically they feature the classic "rainbow bagel" seen above, but they also feature specially colored bagels for different events like the Super Bowl and holidays like Valentines Day. This bagel tastes even better with their "Funfetti" cream cheese.

5. Eggloo's Ice Cream

Chinatown is home to many wonderful foods including Eggloo's, a store that sells Hong Kong egg-based waffles featuring ice cream and a variety of toppings. They feature a variety of flavors of both the waffle and the ice cream which offer a twist to traditional ice cream are sure to please any ice cream lover.

6. The Nutella Bar's Nutella Treats


Located right next to the Flatiron Building, Eataly's Nutella Bar is an absolute must-try. There are too many Nutella based products to pick just one, but my personal favorites are the Nutella crepe and Nutella Iced coffee. Any Nutella lover is sure to be in Heaven here.

7. Milk Bar Bakery's Ice Cream

Although Milk Bar Bakery features a variety of different desserts, they are undoubtably most known for their soft serve ice cream and feature a long list of NYC locations including Midtown and Chelsea. The most popular (and most photographed!) of their desserts is their cereal soft serve that features cornflakes and is known for tasting like "the bottom of a bowl of cornflakes."

8. Dominique Ansel's Cookie Shots

This Soho bakery features warm shot-glass shaped cookies that are filled with vanilla milk and are absolutely delicious. This dessert takes the idea of milk and cookies to a whole new level.

9. Juice Generation's Smoothie Bowls

Smoothie bowls in general have been taking over the nation and Juice Generation's several NYC locations have some of the absolute best. My personal favorite is the peanut butter acai bowl, but there are so many delicious flavors to choose from and the abundance of locations means they are never too far away.

10. Black Tap's Milkshakes

Located in both Soho and the Meatpacking District, Black Tap has created extravagant milkshakes that may appear overwhelming but are actually so good. Coming from someone who is not a milkshake fan, the amount of "extras" added to your milkshake mask the straight milkshake taste that everyone will love. They also feature special limited time milkshakes that are only available for a few days out of the year.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
