These fish momos from Hamro Bhim’s are delicious! They’ve been on my to-try list for a while now, and the recent post by @epicenter_nyc about how bad business has been at this Nepali restaurant, putting it in imminent danger of closure, reminded me to go there, and NOW. I may be back tomorrow, to be honest—these were that good.

If you haven’t been to Bhim’s in a while, or have never been, here’s your chance! Try to get over there this week and maybe, just maybe, he’ll make it another month. 🤞Share a pic and tag us if you go!

Behold the Colombian tamal, a banana leaf-wrapped

Behold the Colombian tamal, a banana leaf-wrapped monster of a meal filled with rice, chicken, egg, pork rib, carrot, and potato. It’s been a while since I’ve bought one of these bad boys, so I couldn’t possibly bypass the little @latamaleriacolombiana.usa car I spied parked on 37th Ave at 82nd St. last week.

I’m glad I didn’t skip it—it was delicious. I was only disappointed I had to give most of this to my kids for dinner that night!

(The car is there Tues-Sun from about 11am-7pm; the tamales cost $10.)

Happy Saturday! Friendly reminder to get outside a

Happy Saturday! Friendly reminder to get outside and move today ☀️, and support a local small biz while you’re at it, if you can. Pairing a nearby hike with a great meal is the best way we know how to do this!

Pictured is the $10 DSNY sandwich from @joesitaliandelibronx, a delicious combo of breaded chicken, fried eggplant, prosciutto, fresh mozz, roasted peppers, and vinaigrette. It was rich AF but super satisfying, and I enjoyed it both before and after our 3-mile hike last weekend at pretty Cranberry Lake Preserve in Westchester (3rd pic).

The deli (2nd pic) is right on the way in the Bronx. We also picked up a massive ball of mozzarella and a hunk of Parm because we were low—two gifts that kept on giving all week long.

I’ve just added this hike (and meal suggestion) to our roundup of favorite nature escapes near NYC on the blog—click the (newly updated!) link in our bio to find it if you’re looking for something to do this weekend. 💫

For today’s #traveltuesday, how about some chick

For today’s #traveltuesday, how about some chicken Savoy from ... New Jersey?! Jersey is pretty much the extent of our travel in recent months, so this qualifies!

Chicken Savoy is a micro regional dish synonymous with Belleville’s @belmont_tavern_nj, an old-school neighborhood holdout in a town that’s long since changed. Skin-on, bone-in chicken pieces are rubbed with garlic, dusted in cheese and herbs, roasted till crisp, and doused in red wine vinegar.

Invented in the 1960s, the dish is deceptively simple and yet difficult to re-create. It’s safe to say chicken Savoy has grown larger than the sum of its parts here in North Jersey—and that’s reason enough to go try it.

Has anyone here had this before?

Thanks, @foodigenous, for contributing chicken Savoy to our website! Find this plus more dishes in our new North NJ food guide—from the link in our bio, click through to Destinations.

This is the best pizza we had in 2020–and it was

This is the best pizza we had in 2020–and it was made right here in Jackson Heights by @chef_luciano_sosa, thanks to his and @rebecca.l.sosa’s weekly Queens Pizza Club. If you’re in the area, here’s your first order of business for 2021: Contact queenspizzaclub@gmail.com and ask to be put on their list (they will email in advance of the next pizza party with ordering instructions—it’s first-come, first-served, and sells out fast!).

Cooked in the chef’s apartment, pizzas are Neapolitan-style personal-size Margherita with top-notch ingredients, including fresh fior di latte mozzarella from @dipalofinefoods. You can add pepperoni and/or Calabrian chilies, but the plain is pretty perfect, with a chewy, unbelievably flavorful crust, just-sweet-enough tomato sauce, and that creamy, sweet cheese. There’s a gluten-free pie available too, and I’ve heard it’s wonderful.

In full disclosure, my pies were complimentary, but I will gladly pay for this level of quality/care delivered to my apartment next time. I’ve already bought handmade almond-flour tagliatelle from them for my grain-free husband, and it was a hit (regular handmade pasta is available too).

Here’s to more great pizza (and pasta) in 2021! 🍕

This is the image that sums up 2020 the most for m

This is the image that sums up 2020 the most for me. I don’t know who to credit for it—I saved it to my camera roll back in April. But amid the year’s fears, sadness, depression, and uncertainties, one fact has risen above it all: Community is everything.

Our Jackson Heights neighbors are what got us through this year—the masked outdoor play dates among the kids, the garden happy hours for the adults, the springtime street dance parties, the constant check-ins and group chats. We bring each other food, deliver packages to each other’s doors to combat theft, come together to donate to local food pantries. The level of kindness and thoughtfulness among them inspires me to be a better person.

I’ve also been in awe of our larger JH community, banding together over and over again to form well-oiled mutual aid networks, support local food pantries and a community fridge, provide meals to essential workers, protest racial inequality, organize for #openstreets, and more. I’ve seen incredible food vendors pop up out of nowhere, creative pivots to pay the bills while benefiting those of us who eat here. None of it is perfect, but I’m convinced many of those New Yorkers who fled the city this year probably lacked a strong community.

As for me—it’s been rewarding to write more about our community on our website. I haven’t done a lot of that before this year, despite always documenting food here on social media and leading food tours in the neighborhood. It’s definitely something I’ll continue to do, mixed in with our usual global content. In this I’ve found a new way to serve my community, even if it is just to point people toward open takeout spots and area hikes while supporting small local businesses. There is, after all, much to be grateful for in our own backyards.

Here’s to a better, healthier 2021. Happy new year from our community to yours!

Chilaquiles! This pandemic has been rife with inte

Chilaquiles! This pandemic has been rife with interesting pivots from those in the food biz, and this beautiful box of food from @citlali_cocina is a perfect example.

Chef Juan Sánchez makes these out of his Greenpoint apartment and offers them for pickup once a week, every Sunday. It’s a thing of beauty, a perfect combo of square-cut tortillas in sweet-smoky salsa, queso fresco, microgreens, and (optional) avocado + poached egg (you can add grilled chicken in as well). This is all that’s offered (aside from the delicious little holiday buñuelos included this past weekend), and you can bet it’s expertly crafted.

It’s well worth the trip to Brooklyn, and there’s a park a block away in which you can eat your warm chilaquiles (with a Sunday farmers market to browse in). To place an order, follow @citlali_cocina and DM Sánchez starting at noon the Monday prior to your Sunday pickup (see instructions in his story highlight). Pro tip: Set yourself a calendar alert now for Mon., Dec. 28!

Big thanks to my Brooklyn friend @zboehmova for the heads-up (and also the @newyorkermag spotlight on Sánchez!).

Happy snow day from NYC! ❄️ In between buildin

Happy snow day from NYC! ❄️ In between building snowmen + sipping hot chocolate (and virtual school for some of us), why not pick up a snack or meal from a favorite local restaurant? Like these incredible flavor-bomb lamb chops from @angel_indian_restaurant — the photo alone makes us drool!

For restaurants that have just lost indoor dining, a snowy week means no outdoor dining either, until roadways and sidewalks are cleared. It means takeout and delivery only — which makes it a good excuse for us to put on the snow boots and go pick up something delicious.

What are you eating today? ❄️

Friday isn’t too soon to make food plans for Monday, right??

If you’re around 82nd St. and Roosevelt on Mondays starting at 10am, don’t miss @taquitosdecanastansanvicenteny’s mobile cart with these delicious tacos de canasta. For the uninitiated, “tacos of the basket,” literally, are steamed tacos served out of cloth-covered baskets or containers. They are soft and moist, a totally different class of taco from what you get at a truck. We first tried them in Mexico City many moons ago, and I’m always excited to find them in NYC.

This week, there were chicharrón, potato + chorizo, and bean tacos—the latter two were our favorites, super flavorful. These are 4 for $5, and I instantly regretted not getting more than two orders. They go fast!

They are steamed in a red chili oil with sliced onions and come with a spicy green salsa that’s also heavy on the raw onion. You may want to arm yourself with some minty gum!
