I remember someone once looking for restaurant advice on Chowhound who phrased it as “what/where do you eat when you get back from a long trip?” It made me think about specific dishes I seek out, so I liked it as a line of inquiry.
In no particular order:
- Unda chicken roll at Kati Roll Company (several locations)
- Crab and pork XLB at Joe’s (Chinatown) or Kung Fu Litte Steamed Buns (midtown west or east)
- Country chicken roast at Anjappar
- Pork bun at Momofuku Noodle Bar
- Mafaldini at Lilia
