Manhattan Walking Snacks

Regional Dining Discussions New York City

On the UES, when I visit the museums, I’ve enjoyed sit down meals at Café Sabarsky inside the Neue Galerie. I also have had coffee and cake at the Lady M location around East 70th and Madison.

I also like small meals and snacks as I walk around Manhattan. I haven’t been since 2019, so I’m out of the loop, but one of the small meals I remember from my last visit was the breakfast sandwich at the Sullivan St Bakery location on 9th Ave in Chelsea.

I will post to an ancient Manhattan snack thread on CH. The link will stop working in 3 weeks, but it’ll give you some ideas.

Falafal from Nish Nush (Tribeca), rice roll from Joe’s Rice Roll (Canal St.), pizza from Upside (Midtown West) or Scarr’s (Lower East Side) or Slice Joint (Lower East Side) or Mama’s Too (Morningside Heights), manousheh from Manousheh (Lower East Side), dosa from the Dosa Guy (Washington Square Park). To start you off.

I like Bar Room at the Modern (MOMA) for a splurge lunch.

If you’ll be by moma, that’s not far from rock center - Lodi is a good place for a quick snack, sweet or savory.

The Pi bakery on Broome is close to Dominique Ansel on Spring , which has DKA Kouign Amann, Cronuts and other walking pastries.

I still like Doughnut Plant donuts, and grab them wherever I see them.

The Essex Market has a lot of small meals/walking snacks available https://www.essexmarket.nyc/

Yeah, very curious to try Dominique Ansel - I’ve had cronut knockoffs but never the real thing, and I love kouign amann.

I was at Nish Nush today. What I tend to order all the time and like best there is their falafel trio and some of their soups (the red lentil today was nice). The sabich is the best thing I’ve had at Taim.

Is ice cream something you’re considering? I recommend Il Laboratorio del Gelato, which also has the virtue of being just across the street from Katz’s.

+1 on the sabich at taim. Also the cronut is good but definitely outweighed by the hype at this point…the DKA is great at Dominique Ansel though.

I forgot how much I like Zaragoza (East Village), and then I got a huitlachoche quesadilla there last night, and I remembered!

I think it should be UES (not UWS) which is where the “Museum Mile” is located.

Typo or Autocorrect issue- I will ask a Mod to change it. Thanks for catching that.

Daily Provisions has sandwiches, baked goods (especially known for their crullers ), and more. Our favorite sandwich is the roast beef. And the potato chips they carry are sensational. We always go to the flagship on E. 19th St., which is near our apartment. However, they have three other locations, one of which is in the West Village.
