Thursday XII:11 New York Comfort Foods

Thirteen New York City Comfort Foods (Besides Pizza)
I Miss:

Manhattan Special Espresso Soda (they have other flavors, too!)

Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray Soda (black cherry and cream are runner-ups)

Real New York Cheesecake (No graham cracker crust!)

Italian Ices (from Lemon Ice King in Corona)

Babka (at any good Jewish Bakery - remember to take a number!)

Blintzes (cheese and cherry in Brighton Beach)

Nathan’s Hot Dogs (at Coney Island)

Chocolate or coffee eggcreams (I used to get it at Gem Spa)

Bagels and Bialies (from H&H Bagels)

Potato and Kasha Knishes (at Knish Nosh in Forest Hills- with deli mustard at)

Appetizing (smoked fish from Barney Greengrass)

A 'regular' coffee (in a Greek Blue and White paper cup)

Rice Pudding after enjoying the Blue Plate Special (at any Greek coffeeshop)

If you don't know what any of these are, don't hesitate to ask!
