10 "Instagram Famous" Foods Actually Worth Trying
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.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
