Pictures Of New York City Food and Beer

It's beer o'clock



This Ben's for you

When in New York, add a New York-sized pretzel

How does a woman hold her Licher?

A hearty breakfast next morning at The Doughnut Plant, 220 W 23rd Street, Chelsea
(As George Carlin would say, that's "hearty" as in "heart attack")



And now for the second course...these are not your father's donuts
(even if your father is Tim Horton or Mister Donut)



Betcha can't eat just one!
Pictured: Valrhona Premium French Dark Chocolate, $2.75 and Coconut Cream Filled Square Doughnut, $4



You asked for a closeup?

Did you know, doughnuts are full of good calories and have none of the bad calories (which drain out through the hole).
I think I read that on the internet somewhere, and if it's on the internet it must be true, right?



I have also enjoyed a couple Pecan Praline Filled Beignets.

A couple dozen!   😄

The bar and draught beer list at Birreria roof-top beer garden above Eataly, overlooking The Flatiron Building
(200 Fifth Avenue, opposite Madison Square Park and the original Shake Shack)

Andechs Dunkelweizen
("Dark, top-fermented wheat beer w/ harmonious nose of banana, pineapple, caramel & chocolate")
Only at Zum Schneider on Avenue C (in 'Alphabet City')



Beer is the solution for whatever ales you



Left: Traunstein Zwickel : "Old-fashioned unfiltered, lots of vitamins"
Right: Traditional 200ml stange (rod) of Reissdorf Kölsch : "Cologne's typical light, refreshing beer"



Hofbräuhaus Traunstein says "What'll it be?"
"Helps in seconds - Works for hours"



Ja, you vill haf gute time hier - Ein prosit der gemütlichkeit!



New York City has so many beer gardens and Deutsch spracht you might think you were in Germany
...even when actually in "Loisaida" (Spanglish for Lower East Side)





Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier naturtrüb
("top-fermented, unfiltered beer ... crafted from a yeast culture that is a closely kept secret")
Brewed on the premises at Paulaner Brauhaus, 265 Bowery
$4 from 3 to 7 weekdays

(A little more for the 3 litre Magnumglas in the background)



Paulaner Munich Dark Lager at the Brauhaus
("Seven types of barley are heavily roasted to create the traditional malty flavors")



Right: Paulaner Summer Bock at the Brauhaus
("The combination of malts gives it an initial light malty flavor developing into a gentle caramel flavor")

Unfiltered and strong (8.8%) - put hair on your chest



München is called Munich in English, French and Spanish, but who knew Italians call it Monaco, confusingly the same as the city-state on the Mediterranean.

I wouldn't have learned that if I hadn't bought a beer and read the back of the coaster - this is more proof that beer makes you smarter!
(I don't know what the Italians were drinking)



Tanks a lot - I'll be bock



Anderson Valley Holy Gose "Leipzig-style sour beer" (but the wrong branded glass) at Cannibal in West Gotham Market, Hell's Kitchen


PS
Secret location for the Rocket Pig sandwich nobody's heard of.
(If you have to ask which day of the week they're not open, Fuhgeddaboudit)



"Made of a juniper, mustard & bay leaf brined, spice rubbed & smoked roast of pork (heritage breed, shoulder and neck),
on toasted ciabatta roll with red onion jam and mustard aioli; with house-made pickle and side of Rocket Pig hot sauce, $9"
It's the only thing on the menu



Sandwich #84 : BBQ Pulled Pork, cheddar cheese, bacon, fresh tomato, crispy onion & aioli on Chapata bread, $3.50
At 100 Montaditos, a chain from Spain that's mainly a gain for Bleecker Street

"100 Montaditos" means something like "100 Small Sandwiches" - they range in price from $1 to $7.
I first encountered 100 Montaditos in Bogotá, and was pleased to find they have just opened one here in Greenwich Village.



Spanish-style churros at 100 Montaditos, $5
(Warm fried dough, filled with chocolate Nutella, dipped in chocolate Nutella)

An excellent source of empty calories



Injecting cream into official, original, trademarked Cronuts™ (croissant-donut hybrid)



On the second attempt, after lining up from 4:40 to 8:10 in the morning I finally get, and bite into, a genuine Cronut™
at Dominique Ansel Bakery, 189 Spring Street, SoHo.

It was all over in 2 minutes.
