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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
